Victoria Cunningham

Delighted to speak with Victoria the founder of @stretchbodymind and #stretchandplay

A pioneer of yoga in her native Northern Ireland, Victoria was the first to develop yoga programmes for children there over 15 years ago.

We talk about the importance of movement and mindfulness to childhood trauma recovery; how yoga and pilates provide safe, non-competitive modalities of movement for children; and holistic solutions to the ongoing childhood obesity crisis.

Victoria’s programmes are as suitable for yoga instructors looking for accredited methods to work with children, as they are for parents, teachers, and caregivers looking for new approaches and resources for their wellbeing toolkits.
