Doris helps bring yoga to children

“That’s where yoga can help. It’s all about slowing down and learning to move in a way that helps us to become more in tune with our bodies and our environment.”

Lindsay has been running taster sessions and Doris book readings at venues across the area, and she’s been delighted with the response so far The classes are different from most of the other activities the children are involved in, as they are encouraged to take time out from everything that’s going on around them.”

The accompanying Doris cuddly toys are also proving a firm favourite with younger children.

Lindsay added: “I’m really pleased with the progress the business has made so far, and can’t thank John Mathias of Alt Valley Community Trust enough for all his help and support.

“More than that though, I’m delighted that everywhere I go the children really seem to be enjoying their yoga. It’s all very positive both for them and for me.”
