Children are naturally creative and imaginative. They navigate their world through stories, games and movement. Creative by Nature is an interactive nature-based programme for children. Activities include introduction to yoga by exploring how Irish woodland animals move, mindful arts and crafts, age-appropriate breathing techniques and child-led stories.
Drawing on my experience as a yoga therapist and environmental education guide, I designed the Creative by Nature to give children time and space to explore their creativity, move and stretch their bodies playfully, create stories, practice breathing and have moments of silence.
