On Friday, 10th May 2024, we were delighted to welcome Shirley and Sarah O'Connor, both past pupils, to the school as part of our Health and Well-Being programme. They shared their knowledge of yoga, movement and mindfulness with all the pupils. Their Yoga Buds Ireland classes teach yoga in an age-appropriate way through music, rhyme and movement games.
The first week’s class focused on poses and breathing techniques that helped release tension, stress and any unwanted emotions from their bodies. They worked on deep abdominal breathing and ended with progressive muscle relaxation. Through songs and rhymes the pupils worked on poses that help develop coordination, strength and focus. We look forward to further enhancing these techniques over the coming weeks.
