Is it just a co-incidence that most of our children enjoy relaxation the most?

A lot of our classes are held at the end of the school day.  Many of the children appear to be quite hyperactive after a busy day in school.  Our children experience increasingly stressful lives as they strive to be the best they can down to pressures not only from their parents, carers and teachers but also from life in general.  It is widely portrayed that in order to succeed in life you have to be the best!  To get the best jobs you have to get the best grades, to be the best performers in sport you need to work the hardest...

Beaming Buddhas aims to take away some of this stress through the yoga session and always ensure they have a wonderful relaxation session at the end of the class.  This relaxation gives the children the time they need to unwind and relax.  The other week we even had one child who fell asleep in the 15 minute relaxation and was snoring! At the end of the yoga courses when the children are asked what they enjoyed most from the yoga , many of them respond with the relaxation, being able to lie down with the lavender eye pillow, 'chill out' and either listen to music or guided meditation.

It is no coincidence that many of the children enjoy the relaxation as it is a much needed 'time out'.  It is perfectly normal to want the best for your children and to encourage to be the best that they can be.  It is equally important to ensure that your child is allowed 'time out' to properly relax.  If you child can learn how to relax properly they will learn techniques on how to manage their whole life much easier.

Alien Adventure

This week we are on an alien adventure.....

For our yoga, we visit the moon and see lots of different aliens including space ducks and space worms! But first we need to do our training so we can become an astronaut and fly to the moon in our rocket.

We played today we went to the moon and saw...... (a great memory game just like today we went to the shops and bought...)

We had a nice relaxation at the end with our lavendar eye pillows as flying to the moon was very tiring!

We finished off with colouring (for the small ones) and drawing space pictures (for the older ones) which encourages creativity and did you know that colouring is also a form of meditation?!

Before the end of class we shared a great book called 'Welcome to Alien School'

Namaste!

What is a Beaming Buddha?

It was no accident how we arrived at our name for our business.  It took weeks of brain storming and was originally called Beaming Buddha, until it dawned on me that to make it plural would be to refer to my students. Beaming Buddhas are what we are trying to create.  


Beaming: Shining brightly
Buddha: A person who has attained full enlightenment
