Socially inclusive change

Freedom Wellbeing Project CIC is a community development project formed by Jackie Heffer-Cooke, senior yogi and scholar of Global Social Development. Set up to empower, inspire and share yoga with underserved communities in Norfolk, we are supporting children, teens and families to achieve better mental, emotional and physical health.

We are creating a world of thriving mental, physical and social wellbeing, where the benefits of yoga are authentically accessible and inclusive of all. Join our community of Kids and Teen yoga and wellbeing practitioners and make a difference to young people across Norfolk today.

Free, funded training

Become a Children’s or Teen’s Yoga and wellbeing teacher

We are looking for practitioners to train in community yoga and wellbeing who will go on to deliver meaningful, accessible wellbeing opportunities across Norfolk. Become a certified teacher in either Children’s Yoga and Wellbeing or Teens Yoga and Wellbeing and help bring inclusive yoga and wellbeing activities to the children and young people that need it most.

The programme includes 3 days of contact training. Applicants might be a parent running a community group, a Forest School or outdoor learning leader, a SEN specialist or practitioner, a teaching assistant, teacher or nursery worker - or hold another relevant community-based role connected to children or young people.

For the Norfolk    ✦   community

Are you a community hub, charity or school who would like to deliver yoga and wellbeing within your community? We work with local organisations in Norfolk to create sustainable positive change on your doorstep, and are particularly interested in partnering with organisations in deprived areas. Could you or your staff be one of our practitioners that we are training, for free, to support families and young people in your area?

Wellbeing for all

The CIC aims are to ensure that therapeutic tools and techniques including yoga, breathwork, mindfulness, wellbeing and sharing circles are accessible for all children and young people across Norfolk. We are hoping to also reach out to those who experience enduring barriers to financial security, wellbeing and health.

Improve wellbeing in your community

Our training programmes:

We believe that reaching vulnerable communities begins with reaching children. That’s why we’re focusing on training practitioners to deliver inclusive Kids Yoga and Teen Yoga & Wellbeing programmes - starting in schools and community spaces where all children are welcome. Through this universal approach, we hope we’ll also be reaching those most in need, including children affected by the pandemic and wider social and economic pressures.

Yoga ✦ & wellbeing   for kids

Kids Yoga Teacher Training Fully Funded | Sunfyr Wellbeing Project in Norfolk

Training dates: first intake - 30th Sept, 1st, 2nd Oct 2025 & second intake - 25th, 26th, 27th Nov 2025

Funded training to share the transformative power of yoga and wellbeing with children (reception, key stage 1 and 2) in your school or community. In the last three years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%, a problem exacerbated as a result of the pandemic and other wider social and economic pressures. However, yoga has a positive effect on stress, physical and mental wellbeing for children; it is now more important than ever to put yoga and wellbeing activities in action to strengthen the wellbeing of the next generation. Train with us and make change today.

Yoga ✦ & wellbeing for teens

Fully Funded Teen Yoga Teacher Training - Sunfyr Wellbeing Project in Norfolk

Training dates: first intake - 14th, 15, 16th Oct & second intake - 2nd, 3rd, 4th Dec 2025

Funded training to share the transformative power of yoga and wellbeing with teenagers (Key Stage 3) in your school or community. In recent years, rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional distress among teens have risen dramatically, further intensified by social pressures, academic demands, and the lasting impact of the pandemic. Yoga offers a proven pathway to support self-regulation, confidence, and emotional resilience in young people. Now more than ever, we need to bring these tools directly to the spaces where teens learn and grow. Train with us and be part of that change.

  • “Everyone needs to know about these methods”

    Claire Stanley, Banham Primary

  • “I feel really confident and passionate about bringing yoga and all the benefits to kids and their families”

    Louise Bibby

  • “Thanks so much, great training that will be really helpful”
