BFER kicked off August with a series of three Yoga and Mindfulness Day Camps for young people at West Stow Country Park. The three activity days, led by Jordanna Campbell from Jordanna Offers Yoga and Mindfulness, each had a theme.
On day one, we welcomed young witches and wizards for an Enchanted Forest themed adventure. The children took part in Magic Inspired yoga journey, meeting magical creatures and saluting the sun, moon and stars for protection. They created protective amulets and painted mandalas, as well as taking part in riddles, quizzes and games in the forest.
On day two, we took a trip to the seaside on a ‘Day at the Beach’ inspired day. Participants had a go at beach inspired yoga, listening to soothing water sounds, and taking inspiration from water creatures for yoga poses. They decorated shells and pebbles, and learnt mindfulness and focus enhancing techniques.
On the final day, young explorers joined a safari themed ‘Hakuna Matata’ day, learning partner yoga poses inspired by jungle animals. They created their own safari binoculars and animal masks, as well as learning mindfulness techniques, and playing fun team games.
