chakradance kids™ is a Social & Emotional Learning (SEL) program, designed to assist children of primary-school age with lessons, tools and skills that will help them to navigate life’s challenges with greater understanding (of themselves & others), and greater resilience.
The program comprises 9 x one-hour lessons, each using a carefully-structured mix of stories, music, movement and creative art. Children absolutely love these classes!
Naga’s Curse
Aloka & the Wolf
Namiko & Stormwave
Takeo & Fire stone
Meraki & the Deer
The stories have been written to teach important life lessons in ways that children can understand, and find engaging. They then get to ‘feel’ their way into each story by embodying the characters in a music and movement session, before expressing their feelings about the story in a piece of creative art.
Relaxation and emotional self-management techniques such as belly breathing and mindfulness are also taught in these classes. Classes follow the same format each time, each focusing on a different theme and learning experience.
This first 9-class series is woven around the story of a friendly dragon called Naga, who unfortunately has forgotten who he is. Class by class, the children help him to remember, while learning important lessons about themselves along the way.

About your Facilitator
I have a passion for engaging in the minds and hearts of children; tuning into their innocence and presence of the now. As a child, I was blessed with time to explore my imagination and tap into my inner world through play.
I believe that every child has the absolute potential to tap into their inner self and develop into a self-empowered being; I love showing children how to share a breath, find their Heart space and explore their imaginations.
