Namaste from Yoga Bearz
Soothing young bodies and minds
As a kids' yoga teacher living and working in the Bromley area, my goal is to help local children to become more healthy and to learn valuable life skills which will enhance their physical and emotional well-being – setting them up for a healthy, balanced and happy life!
My classes are full of fun and imaginative games, which teach children a wide range of physical and relaxation exercises and help them to develop body awareness, flexibility and core strength. They learn how to recognise and release physical tension and emotional stress, and how to work alongside others as part of a team.
Children who regularly attend my classes have a lot of fun and make new friends, but they also benefit from enhanced concentration, listening skills, attention span, physical wellbeing, confidence and self-esteem.

"More than
just a game"
"Yoga for school-age children"
"Yoga and mindfulness have been shown to improve both physical and mental health in school-age children (ages 6 to 12 years). Yoga improves balance, strength, endurance and aerobic capacity in children. Yoga and mindfulness offer psychological benefits for children as well. A growing body of research has already shown that yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behaviour, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children"

About Me
Before I found yoga, I was a professional dancer and children's entertainer. I have always wanted to work with children, and teaching kids' yoga is my dream job.
I am fully qualified to teach children from 2 to 12 years as well as family yoga.
I teach in various different schools throughout Bromley and Chislehurst and run weekly classes during term time at the Bromley Cricket Club and the Assembly Halls in Coney Hall, West Wickham.
I also have an interest in teaching children with particular physical and emotional difficulties and have run workshops at the Evelina Children's Hospital; part of the world renowned Guy's and St Thomas' NHS Foundation Trust.
During school holidays I regularly team up with Louise Clegg, my friend and colleague from Calm, Strong Minds, to run joint kids' yoga and mindfulness workshops.

Teaching children during school can be a tool and gateway to helping children learn how to focus to enhance their balance, coordination, flexibility and strength but also teaching children patience's, how to tap into their breathing when feeling anxious, we also use games and fun creative techniques to help with empathy and self acceptance and confidence.

"In December 2016 our Son was diagnosed with a life changing condition in which he finds it hard to move as freely as necessary.
Yoga was 1 of the things that was recommended for us to try to help improve his symptoms.
After a lot of hunting we found the amazing Michaela.
Our Son loves going to her classes and and we feel that his flexibility has greatly improved since he started attending.
Our Sons exact words are: "Michaela is very kind and her classes are lots of fun".
Michaela is an absolute pleasure and we would have no doubt in recommending her Yoga sessions."
Sandi and her son Lewis (age 9) 13th March 2019

Orla (age 11) 2nd April 2019
"My 10 year old daughter has been doing weekly yoga classes with Michaela for a year and has amazed me with the benefits of learning how to calm herself down with breathing techniques, and her balance, focus and poses are amazing. She has always loved going to the classes and I love that she leaves them calm and rested. I would happily highly recommend Michaela's classes - she is a passionate, caring, fun teacher".
Katherine and her daughter Chloe (age 10) 9th April 2019
" I am a registered child minder and Michaela has been teaching the children in my care during school holidays for about a year now.
Her sessions are fun and innovative, with new themes and ideas that keep the children engaged and interested. Children of all ages adore her and because of her boundless enthusiasm and gentle encouragement, they also come to love yoga, with all of its benefits, both physical and psychological.
She is always reliable and I would have no hesitation in recommending her as an amazing yoga teacher".
