We give you a toolkit of movement and mindfulness techniques to fit around your life and transform your classroom.
Bliss.ed
Peer-to-Peer Course
Created by Robin and Flo to inspire and mentor teenagers to develop their own yoga practice and share a few techniques with their peers.
This mentoring programme empowers young people and has a bronze and silver award with in-person and online work and can be adjusted to suit a school's individual needs. In the bronze award, we introduce yoga, teaching breathing techniques, movement, and mindfulness to manage: stress, low confidence, and anxiety. The goal of bronze is to inspire students to establish their own regular yoga practice. The techniques can be easily used in day-to-day life. In silver award Bliss.ed Ambassadors are coached on leadership skills and how to share some simple wellbeing practices with their peers. The silver award is achieved after passing a practical assessment to certify them to share a few simple, powerful breath and movement practices with their peers.
