THE YIN TRIBE - FINDING CALM

This December, we were delighted to host the launch of THE WORRIER’S GUIDE: Finding Calm, a new workshop series created to support young people during a time that can often feel emotionally challenging. While Christmas brings excitement and celebration, the period that follows can sometimes leave students feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or low as routines resume and a new term approaches.

Held at Orange Yoga Studio at the end of December, the Finding Calm workshops were a truly wonderful and nurturing event. Designed as a gentle reset before the winter term, the sessions offered young people a safe, supportive space to pause, reflect, and learn practical tools to manage stress and unhelpful thought patterns.

The workshops welcomed students across two age groups:

• School Years 6–8

• School Year 9 and above

Across the sessions, students took part in a carefully structured programme that blended movement, reflection and discussion. The atmosphere was calm, inclusive and reassuring, allowing participants to unwind and reconnect with themselves as they prepared to step into the year ahead.

Each workshop included:

• A calming Yin Yoga class, suitable for all abilities

• Guidance on understanding positive and negative thoughts and emotions

• Exploration of stress, the ‘fight or flight’ response, and coping strategies

• An introduction to journaling as a wellbeing tool

• A relaxing visualisation meditation, with practical take-home techniques

• Positive affirmations focused on self-love and acceptance

As part of this beautiful experience, every student received:

• The Yin Tribe’s new WORRIER’S GUIDE: Finding Calm book, filled with tools and tips to support wellbeing

• A thoughtful gift bag of Yin Tribe goodies

The workshops were led by Yin Tribe Founder Suzy Segura, alongside Registered Wellbeing Coach Meg Travers, whose warmth, expertise and compassion created a deeply supportive environment throughout the sessions.

This event was dedicated to gently rounding off the year just gone, while helping students set positive intentions for the year ahead. We were so pleased with the response and are proud to have offered a space that prioritised emotional wellbeing, calm and connection.

We look forward to welcoming more young people to future Finding Calm workshops very soon.
