Why Leona's Classes?
The aim of Leona’s classes and teachings are to bring Mindfulness, Yoga, Meditation, Wellness and Emotional Resilience to children and to enhance their daily lives with ‘forever’ coping tools and techniques to use during the daily demands and struggles of life that they may face.
Leona empowers those she works with and instills the belief and knowledge that ‘Everything we NEED is already WITHIN us’, we just need to learn how to use these internal, built in tools! Leona helps children to realise, learn and use their internal strength and internal resources to build their confidence, mental, emotional and physical resilience and self belief.
Leona teaches children using the Mindfulness, Kindness, Compassion, Self-Compassion, Breathwork, Meditation, Yoga and Resilience practices she uses daily in her own life to help her to live a calm, happy, peaceful and confident life.
