Relaxation for Wellbeing (7 - 11yrs)

New Milton Hub

OUR SESSIONS: helps children relax, reduces anxiety, enhances health and wellbeing, provides self-regulation and co-regulation techniques, improves attention and focus and increases executive functions (a key predictor in academic success). Each session incorporate age appropriate Yoga Nidra, Bre …moreathwork and Cortisol Releasing techniques for children. We share ways in which children can choose activities which can help them self-regulate and co-regulate when they feel worried or anxious. They listen to a relaxation story to help them relax and then they can choose some calming mindfulness activities to engage with. We finish each of our sessions with relaxing sounds and stillness. Sessions are linked with statutory guidance for mental health and wellbeing: DFE Statutory Guidance on ‘Physical Health & Mental Wellbeing for Primary and Secondary schools’ (2025) and NHS guidance on ‘5 Ways to Mental Wellbeing’ (2022). less
