Yoga & Mindfulness in Schools
Y6 SATs Yoga & Mindfulness
Calming sessions for Y6s
- pre or post SATs
Would you like to equip your Y6s with strategies to release tension and self-calm, enabling them to become more resilient and successful learners?
Our yoga and mindfulness sessions are delivered through our 'Shaping Healthy Minds' Programme and have been specifically developed for Year 6 children to help prepare them for the SATS tests.
How the session can fit into your school
The session(s) run up until, and around, the SATS tests and can be a one-off (e.g. one weekly session for 4-6 weeks) or part of a long-term programme. Each session runs for 30-60 minutes and can accommodate one class or you can choose to divide your classes into smaller groups.
An appropriate sized space is needed, ideally a school hall, however this can be flexible. Please note – the SATS tests are not explicitly discussed with the children.
