FAMILY AREA TEACHERS

Ellen Clinch has been practicing yoga daily since becoming a primary school teacher, over 20 years ago. She was initially drawn to the practice as a way to help her find calm and balance in a busy life. After becoming a mum, she took a leap of faith and decided to combine her two passions - yoga and working with children - by training to become a children’s yoga teacher. She then qualified in Teen and Special Needs Yoga and furthered her yoga knowledge by training with Universal Yoga, to share the peace and harmony she has gained from practicing yoga to those in her community.

Frances Ackland-Snow is an art therapist, professional teacher and artist. She runs creative well-being workshops combining art and mindfulness in nature.

Luke Bailey was a national standard pole vaulter for over 8 years. Due to injury he had to step away from competitive sport, so he developed his other passion, training at ALRA drama school where he received his MA in Professional Acting. The amalgamation of Luke’s love of juggling, coaching, clowning, performing and workshop facilitation, mixed with the desire to improve people’s mental health and overcome self-doubt is the driving force behind his organisation, Life Juggling.

Pom poms and breathwork. Katie will be teaching in the Children’s Tent.

Mindful Juggling workshop. We will be looking at the importance of self-reflection and how to use our breath to support ourselves through new challenges. By using play and juggling skills in a non-threatening way we will look at our own self talk and how we compare ourselves to others while learning a new skill. After this workshop you will know how to juggle three balls with the knowledge to go away and practise and even pass on your new skill to your friends and family.
