We have had a wonderful start to our Thursday lunchtime Yoga Club! Girls from various year groups have come together to explore the benefits of yoga, fostering a positive and inclusive atmosphere. It's heartening to see new friendships developing as pupils engage with the practice.

The group is embracing the core philosophy of yoga, balancing mindful movement with focused breathing. They have begun to explore some of the eight limbs of yoga, which promote physical well-being alongside mental clarity, discipline and kindness to themselves and others.

Already, we are noticing the benefits of this practice. Girls are sharing that they feel calmer, more focused and more connected with their peers. The club has become a space for them to unwind, build confidence and learn to manage their emotions, all while supporting one another.

I am delighted by the enthusiasm and commitment our students have shown, and I look forward to continuing this journey with them. Future sessions promise exciting challenges and opportunities for personal growth. Together, we are nurturing a community that values well-being, mindfulness and friendship, and I am excited to see what the rest of our sessions will bring!
