About Girasol Education

Our Education Programme provides high quality, accessible and professional training to teachers and caring adults who will experience the benefits of Creative Relaxation and Emotional Skills for themselves, and then transmit these benefits to the children in their care.

The Girasol UK programme is an experiential educational programme which can be adapted to the age and needs of the children in question. The programme’s structure is flexible and can be arranged to fit in with timetables and the numbers of sessions available within the school. The programme is designed to be wholly compatible with the UK educational requirements for primary school children and suitable for teacher and parent involvement and participation.
