Yoga, Meditation and Mindfulness Programs for Children
Our vision is to guide children with the life tools they need to navigate their emotions towards a happy and fulfilling life.
We know that their generation are pioneers in a new world that is changing constantly and that if we can teach them the skills to thrive in this environment and remain positive and happy, we will be able to significantly reduce the alarming mental health statistics within their lifetime.
Our approach is pre-emptive – we believe that if our children can develop mindfulness and growth mindset skills when they are young, they will be free to create a better world for themselves.
Established in 2007, Pink Buddha continues to offer mindfulness, meditation, growth mindset and yoga programs in wellbeing studios, primary schools and secondary schools as incredible support frameworks for children, their parents and teachers.
LITTLE BUDDHA’S
5-9 YEARS
In our most popular program we teach children how to observe their minds and emotions, and understand them better. This is delivered through fun games, activities and simple yoga poses. We have lots of fun, working together as a group and learning about the power of a positive mindset.
TWEEN BUDDHA’S
10-12 YEARS
Through yoga and meditation, this program teaches pre-teens the power of positive self-talk. We teach them about authenticity and being comfortable with themselves and they get to feel what it’s like to be empowered, how to dream big and believe they can reach their full potential!
TEEN BUDDHA’S
13-16 YEARS
In this class, we teach our teens skills that they can take into their everyday life - including finding presence and feeling gratitude. Being a teen can be overwhelming at times. If we can find presence, we learn not to live in the past or worry about the future. This is mindfulness.
Who is Pink Buddha?
The symbol of the Buddha represents peace, calm and a sense of being ‘at one’ with the world. Meaning ‘one who is awake’, the Buddha shows us a way of living that is free from the stresses and worry that can often overcome us. The colour pink is universal in representing harmony and inner peace, compassion, love of oneself and of others as well as approachability.
At Pink Buddha, we believe in mindful living through relaxation and meditation, utilising a range of techniques such as yoga and growth mindset programs to enhance awareness, self-confidence and self-esteem.
We are a team of qualified, passionate women who thrive when interacting and sharing with children. We each have our own specific life purpose and all have a focus on providing children with the skills to cope with this busy world and the lives they have ahead of them.
We work closely together to create and refine our program regularly to ensure we stay on top of the real-life issues our children are faced with today. We also adjust our program based on the dynamics of the group we are leading.
We believe that when your children learn the skills of mindfulness and meditation, they can become calmer, more in control of their emotions and will be able to observe themselves and others with curiosity rather than reaction. This can make them happier, healthier and fulfilled.
Why is it so important that our children learn Meditation and Mindfulness?
Life is busy for our children and they are facing challenges that we never had to. We want our children to have the ability to navigate through life’s challenges and we want to teach them the skills to ensure they have a happy and fulfilled life.
We know that this begins with a healthy mind which underpins our ability to live, learn and work in an increasingly complex, digitally connected and fast-paced world. The mental health statistics speak for themselves. Something needs to change.
* 45% of Australian adults will experience a mental health condition in their lifetime.
* 1 in 5 Australians suffer from a mental illness in any one given year.
* 75% of mental illness has its onset before age 24.
We believe that we can reverse these statistics. We believe that by teaching our children the skills of mindfulness and meditation in a fun and interactive format, it will become an essential part of their education and they will not have to face the same mental health issues as their parents.
Through movement, meditation, breath work and mindset exercises, our courses teach our children mindfulness, self-awareness, relaxation, respect, bravery and relaxation. We aim to give our students the skills to improve their self-confidence and self-esteem which will help them deal with life’s ups and downs.
