Description

This unit will develop pupils’ awareness of the restorative powers of pilates, mindfulness and other daily routines that can support holistic wellbeing and help with stress management. Pupils will experience a variety of classes and also learn about the power of breathwork.

Pupils will already have experienced a wide range of moderate to vigorous activity based fitness. This unit takes an alternative approach by considering ways to calm the mind and body but also to improve flexibility and holistic health. They will have already learnt about principles of training and this unit requires maturity and an open mind to make the most of it. Later in health and wellbeing pupils will explore exercises associated with martial arts and self-defence as they continue to discover, fine tune and commit to lifelong fitness habits.
