About
Troon Therapies & Yoga is a holistic wellness studio located in Troon, dedicated to providing high-quality reflexology, Reiki therapy, and yoga classes. With a strong focus on the well-being of individuals, the studio aims to improve the overall health and balance of its clients.
At Troon Therapies & Yoga, the well-being of young minds is of utmost importance. Using a trauma-informed embodied approach and an understanding of traumatised behaviour in children, the studio's mission is to nurture and improve the well-being of young individuals. By promoting their well-being, positive social impact is created.
The studio offers a two-hour workshop, specifically designed to be both fun and informative, making it suitable for anyone to deliver. Little Yogis' workshop is catered to babies, toddlers, and preschoolers. It has been taught to early year practitioners, day nurseries, private childcare providers, primary teachers, as well as parents and grandparents.
During the workshop, babies naturally transition from stillness into foundational yoga poses, such as happy baby pose and rolling from side to side. Toddlers enjoy forward bends and the opportunity to hang upside down, energising them and increasing blood flow to the brain. Preschoolers begin to explore more detailed poses, like the Warrior poses, where their imagination can soar, and they can fully express themselves through super heroes and role play.
Little Yogis' yoga practise offers children the chance to experience bodily sensations, strengths, creativity, and boundaries without the fear of being wrong. Each individual is encouraged to express themselves uniquely through each yoga posture. Regular practise of yoga helps children improve posture, flexibility, and overall well-being. It also provides an opportunity to release tension, purposefully relax muscles, and improve the quality of thoughts, building coping strategies.
To encourage self-regulation, Troon Therapies & Yoga embodies three qualities in their Little Yogis approach: curiosity, openness, and compassion. Practising with curiosity allows children to be present in the moment and explore their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and restrictions. Practising with openness means creating space for all emotions and sensations to be acknowledged and accepted. Compassion plays a vital role, offering a gentle approach that softens the edges of awareness and eases the impact of the inner critic.
Troon Therapies & Yoga believes in providing a safe space for all individuals, including reluctant little yogis. With a focus on the well-being of young minds, the studio aims to create a nurturing environment where each child feels safe, grounded, and free to express themselves. By cultivating curiosity, openness, and compassion, Troon Therapies & Yoga helps children develop self-regulation, enhance overall well-being, and build coping strategies for a balanced and fulfilled life.
