Yoga and Mindfulness for Youth

01 — ABOUT YOGAMINDS

My yoga classes encourage self-awareness and self-expression through yoga

My name is Emma Bell. I am a NZ trained primary school teacher and a certified Rainbow Kids Yoga and mindfulness teacher. I am excited to combine both of these passions to give our youth the tools to be able to become calm, confident, resilient and ultimately the best versions of themselves.

Through my teaching career, I have experienced the effects of the challenges that face our youth on a daily basis. I believe that yoga and mindfulness can help these young people develop the tools to first recognise and then manage their emotions in a positive way.

I would love to work with you and your school to continue your work to grow lifelong learners who can stand tall and be proud of who they are.

What kids are saying

Learning new yoga poses

I would definitely come and do it all over again. My favourite part was learning new yoga poses.

Year 8 student School Holiday Workshop

The games were fun.

Way better than I expected. The games were fun.

Year 10 student School Holiday Workshop

The children have enjoyed going to yoga sessions

Emma has been professional in all her dealings with the staff and students. The children have enjoyed going to their yoga sessions with Emma and some have brought their new knowledge back to the classroom and shared it with their classmates. They are more settled and the group of children that go to Emma have certainly benefited by attending her yoga sessions.

Transferring their knowledge to personal well being

The students have enjoyed working with Emma and some of them are transferring their knowledge into the classroom and their own personal well being.

My daughter absolutely loved it.

My daughter did the holiday session with Emma and absolutely loved it. Can’t recommend this enough. Fun and engaging, while learning some pretty important life tools.

The kids loved their yoga session

We were very lucky to have Emma Bell from Yogaminds join us at playgroup. She took the children through a fun playful interactive mindful kids yoga session and they loved it (as did the mums!). Thank you so much Emma for a fun morning. We hope to see you again soon.
