Story in Motion: Write • Create • Move • Connect

🌿 Story in Motion: Write • Create • Move • Connect

A Family Yoga & Creative Writing Experience

A special collaboration between LitUp Story Hub and Rooted Ryse Yoga inspired by World Kindness Day!

✨ What if your child could discover their inner strength through yoga and then bring it to life through their very own story?

Join us for Story in Motion — a joyful, interactive experience where movement meets imagination, and families learn, create and connect together!

Designed for children and their parents or carers, this special two-hour workshop brings together the calming benefits of family yoga and the magic of storytelling, inspired by the beautiful picture book I Am Yoga by Susan Verde.

🌈 What to expect

🧘 3:00–4:00 PM | Family Yoga with Rooted Ryse

Move, breathe, stretch and explore together! Through playful yoga poses, breathing exercises and mindful movement, you and your child will discover balance, strength, courage and the joy of trying again.

📚 4:00–5:00 PM | Story in Motion with LitUp Story Hub

Let your imagination take the lead! Inspired by I Am Yoga, children will explore positive affirmations and turn their ideas into a mini storybook of their own.

With gentle guidance and their parent's encouragement, children can draw, write and share their stories at their own pace.

💛 Why families will love this experience

• Grow confidence and resilience: Help children discover positive self-talk and learn that it's okay to wobble, make mistakes and try again.

• Nurture creativity and literacy: Encourage imagination, storytelling, writing and self-expression in a fun, supportive environment.

• Strengthen your family connection: Share meaningful moments through movement, conversation, creativity and laughter.

• Create something to treasure: Your child will have their own illustrated mini-book and a family affirmation reminder to take home.

• Make memories beyond the workshop: Take home simple affirmations you can revisit together in everyday family life.

🌱 Who is it for?

Families with children aged approximately 6–12 years. Each booking is for one child and one parent or carer, with both participating together throughout the full two-hour experience.

No yoga or creative writing experience is necessary. Children can express themselves through drawing, storytelling or writing, with support suited to their age and confidence.
