# Greenshoots Yoga
Greenshoots Yoga offers specialised yoga and mindfulness classes for children and young people in Stockport and the surrounding South Manchester and Cheshire areas. Founded in 2017 by Claire, a former classroom teacher of 20 years, the business addresses the growing epidemic of anxiety, stress and depression affecting children today.
Claire recognised that yoga—which had profoundly benefited her own wellbeing for two decades—could provide children with practical, evidence-based tools for emotional resilience and mental health. Rather than simply teaching poses, Greenshoots sessions weave together strengthening yoga, mindful breathwork and positive messaging around courage, compassion and hope.
What sets Greenshoots apart is its foundation in community and genuine care. Sessions are thoughtfully crafted by a fully qualified instructor with Level 3 Paediatric First Aid certification and Enhanced DBS clearance, affiliated with the Independent Yoga Network. The classes nurture not only physical strength but also self-confidence, inner peace and the life skills children need to navigate modern challenges.
Parents consistently praise the calm yet joyful environment Claire creates, noting visible improvements in their children's anxiety levels and mindfulness practice. Half-termly parent-and-child sessions extend benefits to families, whilst regular weekly classes build a supportive, respectful community.
Greenshoots represents a holistic approach to children's wellbeing—one that gives parents confidence they're equipping their children with lasting emotional intelligence and resilience.
