From Feeling Lost to Finding Clarity: Why I Created 'The Well-Being Journey'
When I first started teaching children’s yoga, I felt lost and overwhelmed — but creating the Well-Being Adventurers Toolkit changed everything, and now I want to share it with you through The Well-Being Journey training.

The Story Behind the Training...
At the start of my children’s yoga and mindfulness teaching career, my classes were fun, but I often felt lost. I spent hours planning, gathering props, and trying out new ideas, but without a clear structure everything felt a bit chaotic. Sometimes, I even felt more like an entertainer than a teacher — and I knew I wanted to offer children something more meaningful and lasting.

Over time, I created a clear, consistent structure and developed resources that truly supported children’s well-being. That work eventually grew into the Well-Being Adventurers Toolkit — a complete set of evidence-based, practical tools rooted in my experience as a primary school teacher, yoga and mindfulness teacher, and my MSc in Mental Health and Well-Being in Education.

Now, I want to share it with you through The Well-Being Journey training, so together we can equip children with well-being skills for life. You’ll leave with the toolkit in hand, a supportive community around you, and the confidence to deliver sessions that make a real difference.
How this training will help you
The Well-Being Journey will support you to:
  • Understand the ‘why’ behind the practice – If you like to know how things work, you’ll enjoy exploring the neuroscience and psychological theories that underpin the training and resources. You’ll come away with evidence-based knowledge that deepens your confidence and credibility.
  • Deliver engaging well-being sessions for children – You’ll gain the skills to lead a wide variety of lessons, workshops, and services, supported by practical tools you can use straight away.
  • Feel confident in your own style – This training isn’t about following a script. You’ll learn tried-and-tested techniques, but also be encouraged to shape your offerings in a way that feels authentic to you and the children you work with.
  • Be supported beyond the training – You’ll become part of the supportive Well-Being Adventurers Practitioners Community, where collaboration matters more than competition. You’ll also have the opportunity for one-to-one mentoring with me, so your journey is guided in a way that feels personal to you.
Results you can expect

By completing The Well-Being Journey, you will:
  • Feel confident and prepared to lead children’s well-being sessions that are engaging, meaningful, and fun.
  • Have a ready-to-use toolkit of resources and activities that you can put into practice straight away.
  • Understand the science behind movement, breathing, and relaxation, giving you credibility when sharing well-being in schools and community settings.
  • Develop your own authentic style of teaching, feeling free to adapt the practices so they suit you and the children you work with.
  • Be part of a supportive community of like-minded practitioners, with collaboration and encouragement at the heart.
  • Know that you are making a difference by equipping children with lifelong skills for their physical, mental, and emotional health.
The Well-Being Journey isn’t about avoiding challenges or chasing constant calm --
It’s about equipping you to guide children through movement, breathing, and relaxation practices that help them meet life’s ups and downs with strength, balance, and self-awareness.

When you join The Well-Being Journey, you’ll receive:

✨ Two full days of in-person training in a small, supportive group — inspiring, practical, and thought-provoking.

✨ The Well-Being Adventurers Toolkit – all the resources I use in my classes, neatly organised in colour-coded zippy wallets and packed in a tote bag, ready for you to use straight away.

✨ A clear and practical manual for quick reference whenever you need it.

✨ An online resource library so you can revisit key content and refresh your learning at any time.

What’s in the Toolkit?
The Well-Being Adventurers Toolkit is a comprehensive resource bundle, designed to give you everything you need to start teaching straight away.

The toolkit is kept neatly in a lovely tote bag and there will also be a manual (not shown here).

Take a quick peek inside the toolkit in this quick video...
Inside your tote bag, you’ll find:
✨ Pose Cards
  • 52 A4 laminated named pose cards – with the pose and name on the front, and practical guidance on the back (variations, movement ideas, breathing, partner/group activities, discussion prompts).
  • 52 A4 laminated unnamed pose cards – identical to the above, but with a blank space for you or the children to create your own names, making sessions playful and adaptable.
  • Both sets are organised into four levels of increasing ability.
  • Colour-coded for key benefits. While every pose has multiple benefits, this simple system helps children easily remember and make connections.
✨ Pose Banks
  • 16 laminated copies of each Pose Bank Set (1–4), so every child in a smaller group has their own, or they can share in a larger class.
  • 16 laminated copies of an Alphabet Pose Bank (a pose for every letter).
  • 16 laminated copies of a Small Space Pose Bank – a selection of poses ideal for classrooms or spaces without mats.
  • Pose banks are printed back-to-back to reduce unnecessary plastic.
✨ Breathing Cards

  • 18 A4 laminated cards, each showing an image and name of the breath on the front, with clear guidance on the back (how to do it, variations, pose combinations, visualisations, benefits, and affirmations).
  • Organised by colour to represent different benefits.
✨ Regulation Cards
  • 12 A4 laminated cards with techniques to support regulation. Each includes a front image and name, with practical steps, variations, benefits, and prompts on the back.

✨ Relaxation & Creativity Cards
  • 6 A4 laminated relaxation technique cards.
  • 6 A4 laminated creativity activity cards.

  • Printed back-to-back to reduce plastic waste.
✨ Organisation
All resources are stored in colour-coded zippy wallets, making them easy to grab and go, and kept neatly in a tote bag.

What People Are Saying About the Toolkit
The Well-Being Journey is brand new — but some of the professional resources you’ll receive as part of the training have already been making a big impact in classrooms and children’s yoga sessions.

Here’s what practitioners are saying about the pose cards and pose banks:
“A professional resource that promotes imagination and creativity”
I love these cards! They feel much more like a professional resource than others I have. They are clear and simple, and can be used in any setting, any age group and for a variety of styles of lessons. I've seen a lot more imagination and creativity from children, and they help me reach visual learners more easily too. They are easy to use and help a lot on low-energy days!
— Amanda Bush, Glow Worms Yoga
“These cards have re-inspired my curriculum!”
Using the well-being cards has helped me feel much clearer on what I’m teaching to each year group. The prompts on the back have been a great source of inspiration, helping my teaching to be more progressive. The cards have been really well received by the children in my classes, as they are playful and interesting. I love the representation and celebration of diversity that the illustrations portray.
— Jamie McDonald, Jamie Emma Yoga
“Helped me expand into schools”
These child-friendly and fun cards have saved me precious time in planning and have helped me expand my business within schools. They have enabled my teaching to be more focused and inclusive. I love the variety of suggestions that are included on the back, meaning that they can be used independently or for groups. It’s great that they are progressive, making them suitable for such a range of ages.
— Rachel Moore, Yoga Teacher
