Effort & Ease
Yoga and Mindfulness Fundamental Skills Programme

For Schools

There is a wide body of research that supports the far reaching benefits for both adults and children taking part in a regular yoga and mindfulness practice. The tangible benefits go far beyond the yoga mat, they give life skills for children to thrive on any situation.

This programme is in-line with Health and Physical Education and Social Sciences learning areas of the New Zealand Curriculum and unpacks hauora from a Maori perspective basing it on the model of Te Whare Tapa Whā.
It provides an opportunity to explore the key competencies by using a practical and skills based approach. The programme can be tailored to meet school needs, values, interests and inquiries.
