Journey through the Body
The educational and preventive program that playfully teaches children to listen to their bodies and take good care of themselves.
THE SIX PILLARS OF
Journey through the Body
Discover your body
The children acquire knowledge about the design and function of the different body parts, which creates a deeper understanding of their body, increases body awareness and deepens and strengthens the relationship with the body.
Mindfulness
Children learn to be fully present in the moment. Only in this way, the (subtle) signals of the body can be perceived and body awareness and self-awareness be increased. Mindfulness is a common thread throughout the program.
The body as a compass
Children learn to perceive the sensations in their bodies and to use them as a personal guide in taking good care of themselves. They learn to interpret the signals of their body and to act appropriately and lovingly.
A strong foundation for life
In the first seven years of life, the foundation is laid for the rest of our lives. That’s why we teach children important skills of well-being at an early age. They will reap the benefits of this for the rest of their lives.
Learning through PLAY
Studies show children naturally learn through play and movement. Therefore the class format includes exploration exercises, movement games, dance, yoga, imagination, and drawing. Evidence-based tools that enhance children’s well-being.
You are unique!
Children are seen and valued for who they are. Their uniqueness and authenticity are celebrated and their wisdom is being addressed. This promotes self-esteem and standing in their power.
