Sketches & Stretches

🥶 when the cold snap hits we are reminded of the beauty around us ❤️ it’s as cold as you want it to be.
Our bodies are like radiators and can heat up when we put our minds to it. I’m not sure I will be jumping into an ice bath like the iceman aka Wim Hof, however the cold has many benefits like:

🥶 improves focus and sleep
🥶 speeds up metabolism
🥶 boosts your brain activity
🥶 some say the air is cleaner as there is less pollution. When temps drop, layers of the atmosphere are more likely to mix making the air cleaner and for some easier to breathe 🧘
🥶 reduces inflammation, swelling and sore muscles

So I will embrace it and enjoy it. Experience deep belly breathing by taking a deep breath 😮‍💨 in through your nose, fill your belly up like a balloon and exhale. Try this a few times while out enjoying and moving in this beautiful weather 🌦️ and see how you feel ❤️🤗

Another great day spent in the outdoors working on being grateful through yoga, dance and mindful activities. What’s not to love ❤️ “kids happy hour” “mum / dad timeout 😊

💃 👫 ❤️

Thanks to the amazing weather we are able to take things outside again. Long may it last. Today the kids were hot 🥵 and tired so I let them create their own stations highlighting how they felt. One was looking for balance, another for story with yoga and my favourite a bit of music to get the happy hormones flowing. All in all a fab day. Here at Sketches & Stretches we aim to help your kids grow with confidence through yoga, dance and mindful activities. In a nutshell Happy kiddos hour 🌈💃🎈

Enjoy the glorious bank holiday weekend

We are flexible and can find a class that suits your child’s needs. Just get in touch 😊
