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”!
