THEME: “FEED YOUR BODY AND MIND”
Why practice yoga and meditation? To draw in a sense of calm and focus in our minds, and help our bodies by moving and creating fresh blood flow and energy within. When there is a lot going on around you, you may not feel like taking the time to heal your mind and body… But it is important to prioritise your health and well-being,
We can also help our bodies and minds through what we consume with our mouths and our eyes… What we eat, watch, read and choose to do with our time. This all affects how we feel, how we communicate, and our energy levels.
So how will you nourish yourself today? Take a moment to sit down and tell yourself, “Today I choose to nourish myself. I am in charge of how I feel. I prioritise my well-being.” When you nourish your body, you nourish your mind.
May you be safe. May you be healthy. May you be loved.
We are here for you, for them.

ADDITIONAL MINDFULNESS Toolboxes
“You Are Not Alone”
Remember that we are all the same. We are all made of the same materials, we experience the same feelings, go through pain, struggles and anger, but we all too easily think we are alone in this. We are not alone. We are here together. Remind yourself of this when you struggle.
“I Need A Break”
We need to ground ourselves and listen to ourselves. We are all hurting at the moment... We’re all in need of healing and to receive kind, loving energy. We hope this theme helps release feelings of being overloaded and allows you to give yourself a break.
“Self Acceptance” Rainbow Theme
Sometimes we have to move through tricky feelings and tricky times. Your feelings during these tricky times are valid and ok. Acknowledge them and breathe so that you come out stronger on the other side. Just like a rainbow after a storm.
“I Am Here. I Am Grounded.”
Everything is connected - We are to one another and also towards the earth, so let’s use this time to reconnect to ourselves, to each other, and to nature.
TEDDY BEAR BELLY BREATHING
We are building strong, peaceful, resilient hearts through the magic of being here. Talk to us about helping your home, classroom or organisation integrate simple, mindfulness activities into your daily routine to help overloaded feelings.
