🌳 What if the future of education looks less like another screen… and more like a tree full of children?

For years we thought the future of learning would be more digital, more automated and more AI-driven.

But the latest research is pointing in a beautifully different direction.

✨ More play.
✨ More movement.
✨ More imagination.
✨ More real human connection.

In our latest article, we explore why play-based and movement-based learning are becoming some of the most important educational tools of the future, and why the more powerful AI becomes, the more important our uniquely human skills become.

More than a decade ago, we built a giant “PlayStation” in our backyard… not with electronics, but with ropes, swings and climbing nets in a big old tree. Looking back, it may have been one of the best classrooms our children ever had.

If you care about children, parenting, teaching or the future of education, we’d love you to read it.

A child who cannot “just calm down” is not necessarily being difficult.

They may be overwhelmed.
Overstimulated.
Exhausted.
Anxious.
Or trying to survive a nervous system that has already reached its limit.

When we mistake overwhelm for defiance, we add pressure to a child who is already carrying too much.

But when we understand what is happening beneath the behaviour, everything can change.

In our new article, we explore why so many children are struggling to regulate themselves, why traditional discipline often makes things worse, and what teachers can do to help children feel safer, steadier and more able to learn.

Read the full article here:

https://www.rainbowyogatraining.com/blogs/articles/why-kids-can-t-just-calm-down-anymore-and-what-teachers-can-do-about-it

Because children do not need more adults demanding calm.

They need adults who know how to help them find it.

Fantastic to see Kate Middleton enjoying nature and mindfulness with Danish children @thetimes

Spending time in nature and learning to live mindfully couldn’t be more important for children right now. The health benefits of both are endless*

This is why we are so excited to soon be sharing with you our 🌿Teaching Mindfulness in Nature program, which is launching this June ☀️

The launch coincides with us celebrating ✨5 years✨ of Mindful Kids outdoor camps, combining mindfulness + nature for 4-10yr olds.

We’re proud to say that each of our camps has sold out since 2017, and more importantly feedback from children and parents has been 💯% positive 🙏🏻❤️

We are so looking forward to sharing our formula with you and seeing more and more children experiencing the calming benefits of nature immersion and mindfulness🍃😊

More info on our training program coming soon. ➡️ To register your interest, send us a DM 💚

* lowers stress levels, increases focus, boosts happiness, lowers heart rate, reduces anxiety, boosts immunity, aids sleep, increases calmness, supports emotional well-being…& so much more…!

🎄For the second year running we’re sharing our very own (FREE!) Kindness & Compassion Advent Calendar for your child to enjoy 😊
This can be used alongside any other Advent calendar they may have.

Being kind to others can make an enormous difference to other people’s happiness and has been proven to boost our own happy hormones too.
What’s more, kindness has a rippling effect with one kind act sparking another ✨✨

➡️Tips on how to use our (free) Advent calendar:

⭐️Download your calendar: link in bio (click resources). If you have a piece of card, stick the tree picture on one side of it and the text (24 challenges) on the other.

⭐️ Colour in a bauble for each kind act you do (you don’t necessarily need to do these in order).

⭐️ See if you can colour in 10 or more baubles - that’s 10 kind acts, amazing! 👏🏻

👉🏻 if you enjoyed our calendar last year, can you spot the new challenges on this year’s calendar? Let us know!

💝 We’re donating £2 to Great Ormond Street Children’s Hospital for every downloaded calendar, so please - spread the word, spread the kindness!
✅share this with others. Enjoy! 😊

It’s a wrap! 🙌🏻🌈

We have thoroughly enjoyed sharing our creative mindfulness practices at @westfieldlondon and @westfieldstratfordcity Happy Games this summer.

Hard work but incredibly rewarding connecting with around 200 children over a four day period 💛

Huge thanks to my incredible team of helpers for making this happen 🙏🏻

➡️We also run our creative mindfulness workshops in schools.
Why not ask your child’s school to invite us in!

Happy weekend everyone ☀️😀

7 excellent tips from @newscientist on how to keep your brain fit and healthy.

🔸Go with your gut: 90% of serotonin (a mood stabiliser) is produced in the gut & less than 10% in the brain! Therefore good gut health can keep anxiety & depression at bay.
🔸Watch what you eat: a plant-based diet (as well as healthy fats) with dairy, fish & red meat in moderation is encouraged.
🔸Get moving: aerobic exercise has beneficial effects on the brain. ➡️Get up out of your chair for 10 mins in every hour.
🔸Keep in touch: social engagement can improve memory formation & help maintain thinking skills.
🔸Learn a new skill: complex new mental & physical skills like Tai Chi (& juggling!) support a healthy brain.
🔸Stay in rhythm: Sleep is key for physical & mental health.
🔸Do what makes you happy: emotional well being is critical to our brain health. Meditation & Tai Chi lower stress levels & keep your brain blooming 🌸

➡️ These tips are not only brilliant for us but when taught to our kids early on, they’ll set them up for life

🧘‍♀️do contact me if you’d like some tips on how to introduce meditation or Tai Chi to your kids.

Happy weekend 🌸😊

With children returning to school this week it’s only natural that we try to catch up on phone calls, to-do lists, work deadlines & everything else that was put on hold when the kids were at home.

Whilst of course we need to get these things done, let’s remember that we don’t need them all done in one go!

➡️Instead of ‘task overload’ (which can cause stress - not what we need right now), being ‘kind to your mind’ will allow you to: de-stress, re-energise & be more productive in the long run.

✅ Do try my:

🧘‍♀️ ABC (3-step /3 min.) breathing
☕️ Tea meditation
🌿 Waking the Energy (Tai Chi)

➡️you can find these practices on my IGTV, also on my website (link in bio) 💕

A fun & empowering mindfulness-based activity sheet to help kids manage ALL feelings & emotions as they prepare for the return to school.

✔️ of course parents are experiencing mixed feelings too; this activity sheet will help you and your child to work through any fears or tricky emotions together
✔️the 3 different pointers will help your child identify how they are feeling. This is empowering.
✔️ the finger tracing element is known to help children relax, focus & feel calm (when tracing the rectangle encourage your child to breathe in on the short sides & out on the long sides).
✔️affirmations promote positive thoughts, self-belief & resilience
✔️the heart activities promote compassion.
✅go to link in bio (click resources/ videos) for: hot chocolate breathing, tummy breathing, Superhero mudra & to download this activity sheet.

I hope this is helpful 😊💕

⬆️⬇️The rollercoaster of life and the feelings & emotions that go with it.
Thank you @mombrain.therapist for sharing the wise words of @lrknost

Here is a simple mindfulness practice I created for kids which relates to:
🔅breathing in the amazing
🔅holding on through the awful
🔅relaxing during the ordinary
⁣⁣
At different moments throughout the day (try the start, middle & end), ask your child which colour they’re feeling (eg happy might be yellow/ pink-loved or blue-sad).

🟡if they’re feeling yellow or pink suggest breathing IN that amazing colour to enjoy the feeling. Repeat x3. Try saying “let’s breathe in yellow (pause)and breathe out yellow; maybe we can spread this wonderful feeling to others!”
➡️invite them to place their hand on their heart and notice how their body feels (perhaps warm, relaxed)

🔵 if they’re feeling blue or red (perhaps sad or angry) invite your child to breathe THROUGH that colour (to feel calmer or better). “Breathe in red- hold the breath, feel the heat - & as you breathe out release the feeling by blowing it away. Repeat x3
⁣⁣
⁣⁣⚪️ at the end of the day encourage your child to simply observe their breath as they breathe in and out....in and out....this encourages relaxation. To keep their hands engaged, place them on their tummy and feel it rise and fall in time with their breathing.

🌈 associating colours with feelings & emotions is especially useful for younger (or more reserved) kids who may be experiencing big feelings but find it hard describing them.
