Activities for Schools

Physical activity benefits us all, for children and young people it provides benefits such as stronger muscles and bones, and teaches them the knowledge, skills and attributes they need to build healthy lifestyle choices.

As well as improving levels of health and well-being, studies have shown that physical activity has a positive impact on their academic achievements, problem solving, memory retention, behaviour, concentration and self-belief.

Regular exercise and fitness also promotes good sleep patterns, ensuring they’re able to handle physical and emotional challenges better.

Bonsai Chi

Bonsai Chi sessions refresh and calm the mind and body. Low-impact, whole body exercise done to relaxing music encourage young people to relax their mind and enjoy moving meditation. Concentrating on your breathing encourages you to be aware of yourself and your surroundings, learning how to control your emotions and responses. These sessions are low-impact so you do not get all hot and sweaty, you can literally do this standing on the spot.

The movements can be done standing or sitting on a chair, it involves performing a variety of drills and kata. Once learnt, the moves can be practised whenever you want, allowing you to create a few moments of relaxation, enjoying mindful exercise.

These sessions will improve your balance, posture, hand-eye co-ordination and much more.
