'Happy Heart Club' for children! 

The 'Happy Heart Club' will run monthly throughout the year and each month, we will focus on a specific theme.  The theme for the month of October 2024 is 'Mindful Monsters!'  Embracing mindfulness with friendly monster-themed yoga poses, calming breathwork, meditation and journaling about bravery.

Leona's workshops are fun and creative!  The aim of Leona’s teachings are to build children’s mental, emotional and physical health and resilience ‘from the inside out’ through mindfulness, meditation, yoga, breathwork, music, stories, creative works and more! Leona’s workshops provide children with a set of ‘forever coping tools and techniques' that they can use during the daily demands and struggles of life that they may face.

Having suffered with anxiety, fear, worry and panic as a young child, into her teenage years and early adulthood, Leona is delighted to share with children how mindfulness, meditation, yoga and breathwork helps her to live comfortably alongside her anxieties. Workshop places will be limited as Leona likes to work with small groups, so don’t miss out!!!

The 'Happy Heart Club' for children is one of the first programmes being offered in Leona's new DĂșlra Therapy Centre in Dromone, Oldcastle, Co Meath, A82 D2R8.  A beautiful healing and restoring location surrounded by the empowering energies of Loughcrew Cairns, Fore Castle, Lough Lene Lake and Mullaghameen Forest. A perfect combination for bringing balance and restoration to the mind, body and soul!

The 'Happy Heart Club' is suitable for children aged 8yrs-11yrs.
