“We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.”
Dalaï Lama

​

Welcome to the world of My Mini Yogini!

​

​

I believe the philosophy of Yoga can be (and should be) taught to all children from a young age. 

​

Yoga teaches us respect, patience, perseverance, focus, ... It teaches us to respect our bodies and our minds and how to navigate our emotions.

​

Any child can grasp the notions Yoga has to offer, and I would like to help in bringing those notions into your childrens' lives.

​

My classes will be starting soon (in May) at See u, in collaboration with le haricot magique and Edna.

(Enrollment via email - myminiyogini@icloud.com - 1 Lesson = 1 hour = 13€)

​

Classes last an hour, and focus on communication and emotions.

​

They are a mixture of yoga poses, games, meditation/relaxation/stories, arts & crafts, and a moment of reflection/discussion. 

They have to be fun! I truly believe in having fun while learning! 

​

I try to listen to the needs of the children and adapt my classes according to their needs, it's a two-fold learning experience, I'm pretty sure they teachme more than I teach them ;-)

​

(For the moment I only teach in French but could definitely adapt and propose sessions in English if the need arrises, as I am an English native speaker)

 

Don't hesitate to contact me either via e-mail or via my Instagram account My_mini_yogini if you have any questions/suggestions.

​

Next lessons start in July at See U every Thursday (during the market), in collaboration with le haricot magique and Edna.

Who am I?

 

My name is Claire Henriksen, I am British/Belgian and was educated in French, in Brussels.


I work in Human Resources, I am a singer in a jazz trio called Cotton Flow and I have been teaching Yoga to children since 2019. 

​

Why did I choose Yoga for Children?

​

It was in 2018, during my YTT (Yoga Teacher Training) in India that the idea of teaching yoga to children really came to life. 

If the lessons I learned in India at the age of 37 had been available to me when I was a child I'm pretty sure I would have navigated my life with more ease.

​

This is what prompted me to specialise in Yoga for children when I returned to Brussels.

​

I wanted to bring these notions, these tools to others from the youngest age possible. 

​

The sooner you have these tools in hand, the better you will learn to use them.

 

Trainings / qualifications

​

I took a YTT (200H) in 2018 at the World Peace Yoga School in Rishikesh, India.

​

 

When I returned to Brussels, I taught English to children at Kids&Us, which only reinforced my desire to work with children.

​

I followed a course on Yoga for children at Ajna Yoga (in French, in Brussels), which I followed up with an online course by Yoga Break for Children (in English).

​

I'm interested in Yoga and its benefits but also in education and well-being in general. 

I learn every day, I train, I read, and I put into practice what I read about.

I try to translate these notions in a simple and accessible way in order to make it reader-friendly for everyone.

​

There's more...

 

I need you, to go further!!
