Pneuma Breathwork for Kids - Victoria, BC

Pneuma Breathwork for Kids

Designed especially for children ages 5–12, Pneuma Breathwork for Kids is a gentle yet powerful meditation practice that supports children in connecting with their inner world.

Moving at different tempos – think slow like a turtle or fast like a cheetah – children use their breath, along with a carefully curated musical playlist, to access spaces of inner calm. From this place of connection, children may experience physical, psychological, and energetic benefits, while reconnecting with their natural superpowers like kindness, creativity, and confidence.

Session Format:

• A brief introduction to the day’s theme, using simple words, symbols, or stories to set the tone
• 30-45 minutes of Pneuma Breathwork while children rest comfortably on their yoga mats
• Mandala drawing and a short sharing circle to integrate the breathwork experience

What to Bring:

• A blanket and pillow (or a folded blanket) to stay cozy
• A water bottle
• Optional: an eye mask to reduce distractions

This is a drop-off event for children ages 5–12. No previous experience with meditation is needed.

Meet Your Facilitator:

With an undergraduate background in psychology, Lucy has always been drawn to understanding the thoughts, feelings, and behaviours that influence how we relate to ourselves and others. Her passion for learning about the human psyche was further ignited when she encountered the teachings of Pneuma in 2015. Since then, she has experienced profound shifts in her sense of self and well-being that would not have been possible without these teachings and practices.

As a facilitator of Pneuma Breathwork for both adults and children, Lucy is delighted to share this transformative practice with people of all ages. Lucy is an island kid at heart and loves to connect with children and families through her work as a pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist. As a complement to her studies with Pneuma, Lucy is studying to become a Registered Clinical Counsellor.
