Stretch Play Relax Well-being Workshops
Specialised Yoga Instructor for Children in Primary Schools
Meet the Instructor - Beth Hayward
(PGCE & Yoga Instructor)
With more than 10 years teaching experience in the Primary School sector, I understand the demands placed on children, teachers, and pupils today. My Stretch, Play, Relax Well-being workshops are an 'accessible-for-all' opportunity to improve health in body AND mind simultaneously.
Skills which are essential for progress in the classroom are focused on in my lessons with the aim of giving each child a chance to be more 'classroom ready'.
“We have worked with Beth over the last 3 years and her service has been exceptional at all times. In this time, she has delivered blocks of Yoga or 1 day relaxation days across a wide variety of schools. Feedback has been phenomenal at all times, whether this relates to her subject knowledge or her calm approach when working with children. One of her main strengths is being a qualified teacher so she is fully aware of the demands on schools/pupils. This enables her to deliver a bespoke experience to suit different schools’ needs. I would highly recommend Beth to any school looking to access her services.”
— Andrew Scothern (Manager, Durham and Chester-le-Street SSP)
Core Skills for Life
Suitable for all EYFS, KS1, and KS2 children. There is no religious affiliation to any of my teachings — we simply use yoga-inspired stretches and cooperation-based games to have fun and learn.
Every session is concluded with a guided relaxation which often invites the words "I have never seen my pupils so relaxed and quiet!"
- Improves focus and self-awareness
- Encourages kindness, cooperation and reflection
- Supports emotional regulation
- Gently improves fitness, strength, flexibility and posture
