Pupils will remember the visit from Relax Kids during our Sports and Wellbeing week last summer.  They learned relaxation and breathing techniques and some yoga and self massage.  Search for Relax Kids Derbyshire Bonnie on Facebook and look for the posts made on 20th, 21st and 23rd May which are videos of mindful breath meditation, massage and breathing techniques similar to those the children tried at school. 

Check out Yoga for Kids or Children's Yoga on YouTube.  There are many different clips to try - choose one that you think your child would enjoy.
