Growing Up
ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project
Growing Up ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project sessions have been specifically designed for young children!
ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project are coaching inspirational sparks dedicated to creating calm, happy, kind and inclusive children. Our little ones identify the presence of peace and mindfulness in our daily life, from very early ages.
Empowering young children with emotional intelligence, coaching them to calmly express their feelings, switching gears and choosing constructing solutions, are amazing tools for life.
I am the proud creator of ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project and Founder of Growing Up Montessori & Waldorf Inspired Hybrid.
These amazing sessions bring together all my talents, through one unique project.
As an impassioned artist and seeker of yoga teachings myself -highly appreciative of arts' and yoga's therapeutic benefits- I am delighted to extend meditation opportunities to young children.
I am a Pre-Primary Montessori Educator for ages 2.5-6, an ardent artist -cultivated through countless hours of adult art classes with Professional Artist Soo Yun, a Certified Children's Yoga Teacher, and also trained through Mini Me Yoga Canada.

My respect for Montessori principles inspired me to design our ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project lessons and bring the light of peace and beauty to young children through my true passions, Peace Education and Art.
The little ones occasionally enjoy these wonderful sessions through gifts of yoga practice and authentic creative expression.
The yoga mats are our canvases for body and mind, while natural elements (pine cones, rocks, branches and leaves) will serve as chosen cavases in our colourful pursuits.
At young ages, we focus on deep breathing, identifying emotions, the children's concentration, growth mindset and the creation process.
Our sessions start with opening our hearts, deep breathing and engaging yoga poses, soothing music and games.
We discuss the importance of positive words and affirmations, Grace & Courtesy and how they each impact the people around us.
We then move on to our authentic creative art segment and explore with watercolor or acrylics.
Along paper and craft materials, we'll be using my absolute favourite natural resources, such as rocks, pine cones, bark, branches and leaves to create unique and memorable art designs.
I will prepare small art projects, crafts or creative loose parts activities to reflect the childrens' abililities.
Growing Up ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project sessions are the first step to introducing young children to positive behaviour choices, empathy and authentic creative art. Our children will continue to build on skills taught in every day life and further world experiences.
Young children are naturally curious and love to learn through senses and discovery.
Meditation, Arts & Creative learning are beautiful provocations for the little ones.

Through engaging in Artful Yoga & Discovery Project each child is exposed to mindfulness, encouraged to show respect and will feel valuable and respected in our little community and the world at large.
Montessori Courtesy and Manners lessons are part of our daily education. We learn about Peace and Kindness. Our Peace Table will be displaying tools for relaxation and deep breathing, such as pinwheels, calming bottles, invitations to explore with rocks and a salt box for child-led tracing . My uniquely designed ArtfulYoga & Discovery Project 'wisdom bites' inspire children to identify emotions, practice self-expression, problem-solve and create. Every child brings something exceptional and beautiful to our world! Helping young children to express themselves through movement, independent and collaborative art work, while highlighting Peace, Grace & Courtesy principles, compliments any healthy pedagogy. |

Namaste!
Big hugs to all!
