Meet Amy

Hi, I’m Amy, the proud owner of Happy Kids Yoga Preston.

My yoga journey began during the 2020 lockdown, when I discovered yoga and mindfulness as a way of supporting my own mental and physical wellbeing. Looking back I wish I would have had the opportunity to practise yoga and relaxation many moons ago!

When I was younger I swam competitively for Wigan and Lancashire which led me to become a Swimming Teacher teaching aquatic skills and water safety in schools and delivering pre-school children/parent classes for the last 5 years.

As a SEN Mum I love to learn how I can best support my Son and other children who need extra support with their emotional and physical wellbeing.

I am looking forward to making a positive difference through Happy Kids Yoga Preston with my affinity of working with children by creating welcoming, fun and inclusive yoga experiences in schools and nurseries. Children will be encouraged to learn relaxation skills to build calm and emotional resilience, boost their confidence, enjoy fun movement at their own pace to enhance their health and happiness.

When I’m not on my mat with Yogi Bear, I love spending time with family and friends, swimming, dancing, singing, bike rides, baking and of course eating delicious cake with a cup of tea.

Yoga for pupils with SEN in Preston

Every child deserves to move, breathe and grow

Amy runs calm, structured yoga for small groups of pupils with additional needs: in special schools, in SEN units and resource bases, and with small groups taken out of a mainstream class.

Twenty minutes, the same shape every week: a short flow, poses with picture cards, breathing and a rest at the end. Sameness is the point. Pupils follow pictures rather than spoken instructions, choice cards let a pupil point or reach instead of finding the words, and a look, a reach or a sound all count as joining in.

A member of your staff stays in the room and we follow their lead on every pupil. Every teacher is trained for additional needs as part of their children’s yoga qualification, with our own SEN training on top.
