Healthy Schools Workshops
The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic means we need to prioritise the mental health needs of children more than ever. With schools currently closed, children are likely to be experiencing worry, anxiety and fear, a fear of their relatives dying, or a fear of what it means to receive medical treatment.
Children may no longer have that sense of structure and stimulation that is provided by attending school, and now they have less opportunity to be with their friends and get that social support that is essential for good mental well-being.
As a former Fitness Lecturer and mother of 2 daughters, Sandy has always had an interest in and understanding of the importance of children’s physical and mental wellbeing. The number of children with obesity has increased with the lack of activity, which is affecting children physically and mentally. Schools need to address this and offer compulsory online group fitness, to get kids moving and motivated with their school buddies.
For many years I taught classes in primary and secondary schools offering Cheerleading fitness and yoga and meditation. Our specialist workshops for schools incorporate a wide range of topics across the curriculum, including current trends and new initiatives.
virtual Workshops are delivered on the individual topics below for classes of up to 15
