1) Get Active - moving our bodies gently before bed can ease out any tensions that may have manifested during the day and helps allow our bodies to release them.

2) Keep Learning - use this session to help your body and mind learn physical postures and combine that with breath awareness and singing or humming known tunes!

Before you begin this session please read and listen to our Introduction to Yoga with We Be Kids.

This morning session wakes our bodies up & allows us to think about what might make our day good & what we can do to help that happen. Please be reminded to only do what feels comfortable to you & to slowly work your way towards new postures over time.

Whilst using this yoga resource to inspire learning, know you are helping you and your family's wellbeing:

This session is inspired by the beautiful book A Handful of Quiet by Thich Nhat Hanh.

It's a wonderful family friendly mindfulness practice that connects art, nature & us. This practice tends to have the whole family feeling really calm, grounded & open afterwards. If it's suitable for you, then take this activity outdoors to gain all of natures benefits.

Items Required: Paper - you will need four pieces of paper per person Something to draw with - be that a pen or pencil, crayons, colouring pencils, pastels or paints - choose whatever you have at home.

You can of course use any stones or replace stones with conkers, acorns or other natural items. #pebblemeditation #pebbles #stones #mindfulness #yoga #wellbeing #selfawareness #grounding #beauty #gratitude #family #art #nature #connect

Flower gazing can bring about a relaxation of the body and mind whilst putting our 'busy mind' to use noticing all those unique features that come with each glorious flower. You can use any flower out in nature, perhaps clover or a daisy or dandelion. Flower gazing is best done with a single flower per person than a bunch of them or a sprig of blossom from a tree. Otherwise, you could also take one from your garden, a potted flower or from a bunch of bought flowers - the choice is yours. If you find that your busy mind wanders, don't worry about it, be kind with yourself, remind yourself that to be distracted isn't failing, it's doing what your mind is used to doing.
