The RCH National Child Health Poll provided this data that shows ‘excessive screen time’ and ‘not enough physical activity’ are among the top child health concerns. Our children certainly are our future and I believe they will need to know how to care for their minds and bodies to survive this ever-increasing complex world.
In the upcoming Aerial Yoga Therapeutics course, we will deliver a specific 20hr module on working with children. I have found the hammock an incredible medium for supporting children to learn self-expression, self-care and self-soothing abilities. I hope this module will help you also open the possibility of working with children and invite the most rewarding experience! Children are the future – invest in them!
What happens in an aerial Kids class?
Children are introduced to healthful movement through aerial play and interactive games that invite a child to build trusting relationships, self-esteem and empowerment. Creative Arts Therapy modalities involving sound and art making are combined in this session to enhance a child’s capacity for self-expression and creativity. At the end of each session, Children are guided in sensory meditations that assist with developing emotional regulation and relaxation. These classes are grouped in developmentally appropriate age ranges.
