YForYoga

My name is Pascale Roura and I am a Yoga Instructor for children aged 2/3 to 12 years old. I am a Mother: my wonderful son is 11 years old. I have been working with young children and adolescents since 2018 – in nurseries, primary schools, special needs schools, and currently in a selective secondary school for girls (which is among the top performing schools in the country). I have supported pupils who have additional needs (autism, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety) in the classroom and outside of the classroom (tutoring via the virtual school and in-house settings/libraries) to support school transitions.  

I believe in holistic therapies for children, alongside their education is essential for their growth, balance and inner joy.  My yoga sessions have been described as “calming, fun and inclusive with a touch of magic”!

I believe that every child is unique and capable of extraordinary things. My yoga sessions are personalized to fit specific needs, abilities and preferences. Beyond years of experience, I bring my empathetic and kind nature to my students, as well as their families.

Up to date, my work continues to provide a soothing and safe space for young people and their parents/carers; including children and young people who have anxiety or depression, students on wheelchairs, students on the spectrum and displaced young people who are new to the United Kingdom, seeking healing and grounding.
