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.

WHAT DO OTHERS SAY?
Reviews
A wonderful program that every child should experience. Each child can get something out of this, for now, and in their future.
Nadia Danse, primary school teacher
Journey through the Body is a great way to help children become life artists.
Christel Koop, early childhood educator
A very valuable training!
Kelly de Haan, dance teacher
Being happy with who you are and feeling good about yourself… a basic right for every child, right? With the Journey through the Body training you get valuable tools to be able to pass on these important values to children in a playful and pleasant way.
Ann Weyenberg, music teacher
The Journey through the Body training is recommended for anyone who wants to let children grow in their well-being in a thoughtful, playful and varied way. The variety of teaching methods and learning styles, based on pedagogical learning principles, means that you can find the 'entrance' in every child to more body and self-awareness. As a participant you also go home with a suitcase full of mental and physical tools and an enthusiasm that encourages you to get started right away. With the training you not only bring the children you are working with closer to themselves, that also applies to yourself!
Els van Doorslaer, educational support coordinator and coach
A journey full of learning about a wonderful program with an amazing trainer. I look forward very much to being able to give my students the opportunity to experience and enjoy all the benefits of this program. I would love to have had the chance to participate in a class like this as a child.
