IT'S TIME FOR
... because well-being is the aim, for all, in education.
Well Ed® is the only education initiative designed to help raise the well-being of pupils and staff, not only through expert made yoga and mindfulness video resources - but with professional development training and on-going support.
The Well Ed® programme is for:
→ any Schools teaching ages 4-11 (from September we will serve 3-18)
→ who care about the well-being of their pupils, as much as their academic results;
→ and who care just as much about the mental health of their teaching team, as their professional capabilities.
Because when we raise a child’s, or an adult’s, well-being - on a combined physical, mental and emotional level…
- Calmness follows,
- Confidence rises,
- Concentration improves,
- Focus develops,
- Wellness and achievement happens.
And as you know, the need for whole-school well-being is greater now than ever.
The Class Yoga Framework
Inside Well Ed, you'll experience all aspects of the Class Yoga Framework:
→ a combined approach to physical, mental and emotional well-being for all,
→ a system that promotes 'living it' through pupil and educator practise,
→ followed by 'learning it' in-depth, for those who want to, through CPD training,
→ leading to 'teaching it' with the support of on-going resources.
Resulting in:
→ physically moving, breathing and sleeping well
+ emotionally feeling happy, calm and confident
+ mentally thinking positively and clear, focusing and learning well
= a calm, happy and productive learning environment for children and adults!
The Class Yoga Mission
To raise the physical, mental and emotional well-being of children, young people and their educators, through yoga and mindfulness resources, expert training and on-going support; to offer them a toolkit for life - so that they may grow up/ live always able to bring themselves to a place of peace and calm, and best able to reach their potential.
Our aim
- Provide pupils, from all backgrounds, with the tools to:
✓ self-regulate behaviour
✓ reduce anxiety
✓ raise calmness
✓ boost self-esteem and confidence
✓ improve cognitive skills
✓ develop executive functioning
✓ increase focus and concentration
✓ feel happy, calm and attentive
= higher levels of concentration, confidence, happiness and academic achievement.
- Raise the well-being of the educators themselves
= happier, calmer, more motivated teaching staff, teaching at their potential
- Up-skill their teaching teams in well-being professional development training
= in-house skills to raise pupil well-being and therefore academic performance

I have loved doing the yoga and so have the teachers and lots of the children have been talking about it. As well as incredibly positive feedback from the parents! Thank you and well done on such a unique idea which works.

The children are loving the yoga, with some buying their own yoga mats and practising at home with their families! It has particularly engaged some of our less active children and provided a calm and relaxing end to our school week.

Despite having taught a range of Primary aged children for many years, I have never had the confidence to bring my yoga practice into the classroom. Helen’s clear teaching and the great course content, with effective use of practical experience, has given me the knowledge and confidence needed. I will be teaching my first children’s yoga class tomorrow!

This has to be one of the most inspiring training courses I have attended. It has already made a huge impact to my teaching both in the classroom and on the mat. At the start of the course, I hoped that by the end I would be equipped with a toolkit to help children realise that by taking time to connect to their mind, body and breath, they can be happier, more in control and calmer beings. The course exceeded these expectations and I found myself gaining so much more.

Not a PE programme...
but can absolutely be incorporated into your PE curriculum - and PE and Sport Premium can be used! Well Ed® is going to help bring mindfulness into PE.
Well Ed® is a well-being programme that provides yoga and mindfulness as the method to achieving wellness.
As you can see from the Class Yoga Framework - Well Ed® helps to raise physical, mental and emotional well-being equally... because all three help one another and are needed for over-all well-being!
Mindful movement is best...
Yoga is mindfulness - when taught and practised correctly!
And through movement and breath work it's much, much easier for children (and adults!) to practise being 'mindful', and to be calm, present and non-reactive more of the time.
As well as keeping calm and content, a state of mindfulness develops executive brain function, empathy and social skills. Who wouldn't want to facilitate that for young people?!

The yoga is going incredibly well so far with all of the schools. From my experience with my class and from feedback with the other teachers it has really transformed some children's experience in the classroom. I have found children that struggle emotionally, or with additional needs like ASD or ADHD, have been able to fully engage with the yoga sessions, and then are ready for learning. Their speed, accuracy and commitment to their learning has really improved. So thank you!!
It has also meant that we are able to address emotional and mental health and wellbeing, in a way that engages the children and that they can understand. It lends itself beautifully to developing resilience and lifelong habits that I am sure will encourage a love of self, realistic expectations of oneself and practical skills to manage in the wider world.

After an amazing experience on the Class Yoga Training, I started teaching yoga to my class at least twice a week, alongside using the Class Yoga videos. I’ve also been teaching other classes in school and got the rest of staff on board with doing your daily yoga videos. It’s had a transformative effect on the school as a whole and has clearly boosted the confidence, concentration and self-esteem of many individuals. Our school, Camelford have now won the Physical Activity, Health and Wellbeing Time 2 Move Ambition 2018, and are shortlisted for CAPH Time 2 Move Primary School of the Year Award, and the introduction of yoga across the school absolutely contributed to that.

After finishing the Class Yoga Kids Training course, I was keen to get started in school straight away, so letters went home to explain the benefits! It was a hit from the start, and being a boy heavy Year 5 group, it was great to see their involvement in everything we did. We had a session a week, which really helped develop my confidence and practise keeping the flow of the lessons going. My super parallel class teacher was fully on board and I taught her class a couple of sessions too. Some children began asking when the next session was! It was also nice to see girls, who were slightly reluctant to join in team sports lessons, really enjoying it and taking part.Thank you to Helen and Class Yoga for starting me on this new journey..
