  • Sophie Plato Workshop - 1st July between 6:00pm and 7:00pm

    Published 25/06/24

    Sophie Plato Workshop - 1st July between 6:00pm and 7:00pm

    We are delighted to offer a free workshop, led by Sophie Plato, a Movement and Wellbeing Coach, to support with knowledge, strategies and guidance in looking after ourselves as parents. A poster with further details of this exciting event is attached.

    Sophie has a wealth of experience sharing her knowledge with major businesses and schools in the state and private sector. She also teaches Pilates in Hampshire and has led similar activities in Europe.

    "My mission is to help create space within the human mind and nervous system to allow for conscious, proactive parenting rather than reactive, stressed-out parenting. It really does start with us. Feeling empowered and inspired to put our own health first, no matter our situation or circumstance, makes a huge difference in the way we perceive, interact with, and interpret our children and the world around us." Sophie Plato

    There will be optional ‘movement’ activities at the end of the session after any FAQs. Drinks and nibbles provided. We will open the recreation ground for parking.

    Thank you for those that have already emailed to secure a place, if you would like to attend please let us know by emailing the school office as soon as possible.
