Don’t Forget The Soap!
With the nation's hand washing on the up and soap opera filming at a standstill, this term will be about creating our very own Lockdown Soap Opera.

Chill Club – Yoga for ages 5 - 11 years (online)
Led by Carly Brown

We will then take a short savasana (blanket time) to classical piano music. This resting time allows all the work and play to settle into the children’s bodies and brains. Each session will finish with a poem or reading.
You will need one yoga mat and one blanket each.

Chill Club - Yoga for ages 12 - 16 years (online)
Led by Carly Brown
Each class will start with breath work, followed by simple sun salutations to warm up the whole body and begin to connect the breath to movement. Next we will try some standing poses, working on balance, strength and focus. Then some seated postures, holding the poses for a little while, working on lengthening muscles and softening into shapes.
Each session will finish with moon salutations to calm down before a beautiful guided relaxation.
The aim is for each teenager who takes the three week course to learn the sun and moon salutation sequences so that they can practice at home.
Sun salutes are warming and energising so great to do at the start of the day.
Moon salutes are grounding and calming so good to practice at the end of each day.
