Ella Reid Wellness + Coaching’s
mission is to provide welcoming, restorative
services that amplify our clients’ own
spirit (confidence, balance & strength)
so that we can co-create a practice
that belongs to them.
The benefits of starting at a young age are limitless. It relaxes, calms and inspires.
the beginning
Immersed in the lives of international students in Paris, Liz noticed that the majority of the 8 year old’s were stressed and had busier schedules than she. What got Liz through her days was the awareness to stop, breath, move and relax. The kids needed this too. She started incorporating yoga, breath work and movement in her tutoring sessions, noticing improvements immediately. Just a five-minute energizing yoga boost in the middle of a class and calming breath work at the end helped her students focus AND got them excited for the following class. Inspired by the progress, Liz decided to create a program specific for busy students and teachers, incorporating exercises and breathing techniques to find relaxation throughout the day.
our mission
The goal isn't to silence the mind, but to disconnect from thoughts that evoke negative emotions such a anxiety, stress, low self-esteem. We want to teach kids how to connect to themselves. To create a safe space to express themselves while learning to manage their emotions, and navigate this weird world they've found themselves in. This day and age is very scary for children - social media, the expectations put on them, the social and academic pressures. The Mindfulness Project wants to introduce meditation and mindfulness techniques to help children open themselves up to the present moment. Through carefully constructed exercises that strengthen the mind and help them connect to themselves, they begin to focus better, gain clarity and self-esteem, and work towards their future in a new way.
get involved
If you've gotten this far, I want to commend you on your interest in bringing mindfulness into your life and the lives of those around you. If you are a parent, teacher, or the head of a school and have any questions in moving forward with mindfulness in your life and those around you, please do not hesitate to contact me. Options range from 1 on 1 sessions to 6 / 8 / 10 week classroom programs. Courses for teachers also available. The goal is to design a customized program and start improving your life one breath at a time
MOVE!
Having experience working with all ages, I have learned through trail and error of what works. Every Thursday afternoon I teach a yoga workshop for expat kids at an international school in the suburbs of Paris. They range from 7-10 years old.
