Growing Emotional Intelligence through Yoga
Monica Batiste
Yoga helps children grow emotional intelligence by helping them link movement with emotions. Simple postures such as Mountain pose can help a child build the confidence to take a positive stand. Warrior pose support a child's courage, and softer postures such as Resting Butterfly and Child's pose help a child build trust and self-care.
Sometimes children need support in recognising who they are, and how they feel, in order to socialise more effectively, speak up for themselves, and to build the confidence to follow their dreams.
Monica Batiste has worked in health and fitness for over 30 years, and is a trained yoga teacher, artist and author.
Her book Yoga for Little Bears, which focuses on Growing Emotional Intelligence through Yoga, was shortlisted for the Moreton Bay Innovation awards in 2016.

Children with high emotional intelligence learn more easily and take responsibility for their actions. They co-operate more effectively with others, and lead with compassion. Children that have developed self-awareness protect themselves from bullies, and take a stand against bullies. Children that have learned to bully develop self-awareness and compassion, and become more likely to take responsibility for their emotions and actions. Who is this workshop suitable for? Adults, teachers and parents who wish to facilitate emotional intelligence for their inner child, or the children in their care. |
