About Yogafun
Her Yogafun™ programs help reduce stress of school teachers, students and principals. Helping schools to adopt and implement a stress management plan for teachers and students means our children are getting the best and effective education possible. The Yogafun programs, not only help manage stress, but also prevents bullying at schools, helps calm behavioural issues in classrooms for more effective learning and socially on the playgrounds.
Her programs have been used to help teenagers feel more confident and happy with their body
image, combating anorexia and bulimia, as well as mental health issues such as depression and preventing youth suicide.
Connie has worked with the Australian Sports Commission, local councils, government bodies,
community partners and schools to make yoga accessible to all youth within schools. She is passionate about equipping our future leaders with skills for life.
Why is Yogafun™ so popular?
The reason Yogafun™ is so popular with schools throughout Victoria is because of how much kids enjoy it and how much teachers see the positive flow on effects. The yoga classes help kids learn to relax and give them skills in focus and concentration. What great skills these are for young people to learn!
But Yogafun stands out from the crowd. Its unique philosophy and program is designed specifically for children and young people – not just adapted from general adult yoga classes.
Yogafun classes give your students an amazing array of skills that they can apply to all areas of their life including: improved self-esteem, better socialising skills, ability to manage anger and anxiety, self-awareness skills, and true confidence that comes from self-knowledge not just superficial platitudes.
Yogafun makes a huge difference in the lives of children, their families and teachers. That’s why hundreds of Victorian schools have booked Yogafun since programs began in 2006.
The Yogafun program was so successful, Connie started training new kids yoga teachers within the first 2 years of facilitating the programs in 2008, and has been training teachers ever since.
