Eastern Philosophy and Western Psychology
Our program was developed after many years of research and experience and takes its teaching from a combination of ideologies and methodologies which are based around Chakra System Theory, Eastern Buddhist practices and Western Positive Psychology.
The Chakra System Theory, for example, suggests that wheel-like energy centres of the body, develop sequentially, starting from the base of the spine, all the way to the top of the head. As a child develops from birth to adulthood, they need to learn how to develop both physical and emotional awareness of their body and feelings and our adults trainers can learn to support children in ways that are appropriate for their current level of development.
During our yoga and mindfulness classes we touch on some of these key areas of development & wellbeing including:
- Environmental – Lifestyle Choices, Sleeping patterns, Healthy eating habits, Routine, Family Dynamics, Coping with illness
- Physical (Grounding) – Breathing techniques, Sensory Exploration, Yoga Poses
- Mental – Mindfulness, Problem solving, Coping with Stress, Resilience, Growth Mindset, Self-control, Goal Setting, Academic learning. Critical Thinking
- Emotional – Dealing with Feelings, Empathy, Confidence, Self-esteem, Kindness, Compassion, Resilience
- Spiritual – Values, Strengths, Contribution, Expression, Creativity, Gratitude, Setting Boundaries
- Social – Communication, Teamwork, Conflict Resolution, Self Regulation, Relationships
We not only provide you with the resources to achieve this through our program W.A.T.C.H.E.R Method – Integrated Mindfulness Kids but we view wellbeing holistically examining the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual wellbeing of a child.
This integrative approach is what we believe is the key for successful living and learning!
