Mind, Body & Nervous System: Finding Your Centre, Confidence & Calm
10.45am - 12.00pm
With over 22 years of experience teaching Pilates, Denise Dawkins brings a holistic approach to movement, recognising that lasting health, wellbeing and meaningful outcomes depend on the connection between the mind, body and nervous system.
Whether participants are on the page, in the page or beyond the page, this workshop explores how they can prepare themselves to put their best foot forward, stay focused and keep their eyes on the prize.
Through a combination of practical, functional and fun exercises, ideas, tools and techniques, participants aged 9+ will discover ways to approach challenges with greater awareness and learn how to feel more centred, grounded, calm and confident—both within their Pilates practice and beyond.
The SEN Manny Mentor Experience
12.30 - 1.30pm
Games, laughter, drama, and a room where you can just be yourself.
For children aged 9 - 16, either with parents and carers or on their own, whatever makes them comfortable!
The SEN Manny Mentor Experience is a one-hour live look at how we work. Our specialist SEN mentors lead group games, improvisation, story and connection-based activities to build confidence, communication, expression and regulation.
No pressure to perform. Space to play, talk, watch, laugh, and belong. For neurodivergent young people aged 9 to 16. Parents and carers are warmly welcome to join in alongside their young person, or simply to be in the room.
SEN Manny Mentor is a personalised SEN provision, built around the young person. We support neurodivergent young people across London and surrounding areas through 1:1 mentoring, tutoring, EOTAS provision, tailored education and group programmes including our ongoing partnership with Bell House.
We work alongside families, schools and local authorities to design support that fits the actual young person in front of us, not a generic profile. Our team of specialist SEN mentors brings together years of experience across autism, ADHD, PDA, dyslexia and anxiety.
