Yoga & Mindfulness in UK Primary Schools

We were fortunate to have come across Jessica Wilkinson at a local school last week. This inspirational woman runs a yoga and mindfulness practice for UK Primary and Infant schools called “The Sea Within“.
She simply loves to encourage children to connect with nature using mindfulness, art and yoga.

Mindfulness, meditation and yoga can be extremely effective in developing children’s imagination, emotional resilience and overall health.

Mindfulness, art and yoga for children and young people

As it turns out, yoga and mindfulness is becoming more commonplace in UK schools and is being recognised by teachers and practitioners as a beneficial addition to the national curriculum.

Jessica and her team offers Children’s yoga, mindfulness, art and staff mindfulness training workshops to schools and colleges, local organisations, charities and private venues.

As quoted in the above Telegraph article “With nearly one in 10 children aged five to 16 affected by a mental health problem according to the Mental Health Foundation, most of us are fully apprised of the importance of nurturing our children’s mental health and wellbeing.”

So, the trial has begun….. wonderful news for UK schools!

If you are an Infant or Primary School based in the North West of England and are seeking to integrate some of the yoga or mindfulness sessions into your classes please feel free to check out Jessica’s website and some of the work that she’s doing. www.the-sea-within.com

Ah, you knew we’d plug Rotunda at the end, didn’t you?! Naturally, you’d need the ultimate mindful classroom for your yoga space… we defy you to find a building better than the almighty Rotunda!
