Yoga and Mindfulness for Children and Young People – Year 3

This project addresses physical and mental health in low income, vulnerable children, and those with physical and learning disabilities. It challenges the materialistic and consumerist messaging in society that has led to an increase in obesity and mental health issues. Based in Brighton and Hove, this project builds on past experiences and previous evaluations to provide yoga, mindfulness and themed sessions, to enable participants to recognise their own internal resources and learn new practices. Two previous applications to EF have been supported. The aim is to make the project sustainable through further funding and fees, plus the production of 10 videos to extend their reach. Beneficiaries: 24-30 vulnerable yoApproximately 105 participants in live sessions; videos viewed multiple times; 103 sessions held across locations in UK.
