Making Mindful Movement Matter

Supporting Youth with Tools for Life

Making Mindful Movement Matter’ is a comprehensive six month program supporting Fremantle’s Youth and their future Health and Wellbeing with the goal to establish a sustainable program in the Community. 

The project’s aim is to make a lasting difference to Wellbeing for Youth. With Yoga and Mindfulness Kids and Teens will gain the tools to respond to life’s ups and downs helping them to manage life in a better way. They will learn tools to become self-aware, self-regulate and de-stress (relax and unwind), which will help them not only to become better community members but will empower Youth to become healthier and happier – mentally and physically.

‘Making Mindful Movement Matter’ welcomes all children and teenagers who live in the City of Fremantle (please note that places are limited).

Yoga & Mindfulness for Aboriginal Youth

Ngaanyatjarra Lands School

The Ngaanyatjarra Lands School comprises eight campuses spread across the Western Desert of Western Australia. Although the campuses are separated by large distances they are bound together by the culture of people from groups including Ngaanyatjarra, Pitantjatjara, Pintupi and others.

Yogazeit’s Programming builds up on the foundations of mindfulness activities set out by NG Lands School and empowers staff and communities to further their skills, knowledge and confidence in teaching Yoga and Mindfulness on a daily basis in the classroom and beyond. Teachers and staff will be provided with training, classes, curriculum and ready to use lesson plans.
