Master the Mountain designs yoga and mindfulness programs for children of all ages, and trains childhood workers to deliver them with excellence. At Master the Mountain we believe strength, tranquillity and self-acceptance is the birthright of every child. Research has proven that yoga and mindfulness deliver enormous physical, psychological, social and emotional benefits to children of all ages. Its myriad benefits include improved concentration and focus; increased self-belief; enhanced language skills; relief from stress and anxiety; improved muscle tone, flexibility, joint health and balance; and a strengthened immune system, to name but a few. Our programs are designed for a range of settings, from schools and childcare centres to hospitals and foster homes. Each program follows a tried-and-tested formula and is tailored for a specific age group. We train educators, SSOs, youth workers, early childhood workers, nurses, OTs and other professionals to deliver Master the Mountain programs in their place of work, and provide materials to support the programs. We also run parent and child classes at our studios in Glenelg and Modbury. At Master the Mountain, all our programs are designed in a way that is accessible and builds upon prior learning. We build our programs around scaffolded, familiar routines: offering children the opportunity to excel and gain mastery in what they do. Our programs are designed and taught by child development specialists who are also trained in yoga and meditation. And because Master the Mountain was founded by a qualified speech pathologist, each program has a strong focus on modeling effective communication: ensuring a successful, enriching outcome for children and professionals.
