Welcome to Susie Sloth Workshops, a gentle, playful wellbeing experience designed to help children slow down, breathe deeply, and feel more calm and confident in their everyday lives.

Led by a proud member of the Susie Sloth Squad, these workshops bring the magic of Susie Sloth and Her Secret Superpower to schools, settings, and communities across Oxfordshire.

Susie Sloth Workshops in Oxfordshire

Susie Sloth and Her Secret Superpower is an award winning children’s wellbeing book written by Charlotte Marsh, a Buteyko breathing coach, and Pilates teacher.

Charlotte Marsh created Susie Sloth as a response to the growing need for simple, practical tools that support children’s emotional regulation and resilience. Her work combines storytelling, movement and breathing awareness to help children develop lifelong skills for managing stress, emotions and transitions.

The book introduces young children to the idea that their breath can be a powerful tool to help them feel calm, confident and in control of their emotions.

Through the gentle and super cute character of Susie Sloth, children learn how slowing down, noticing their breath and tuning into their bodies can support them in everyday situations. The story is designed to be accessible and engaging, helping children to understand wellbeing concepts in a playful and age-appropriate way.

The Susie Sloth workshops expand on the themes of the book, bringing the story to life through interactive activities, gentle movement and functional breathing exercises. These workshops are now also being delivered by licensed Susie Sloth Squad members across the country, ensuring the programme is shared consistently and with care, while being adapted to suit different settings and age groups.

Teaching children their secret superpower — the power of the breath

What Are Susie Sloth Workshops?

Susie Sloth Workshops are interactive, play-based wellbeing sessions that introduce children to mindful breathing and emotional awareness in a fun, accessible way.

Using stories, movement, games, imagination, and creative activities, children are guided to explore:

What calm feels like in their bodies
How breathing can help with big emotions
How to slow down and reset when things feel overwhelming

The workshops are carefully designed to be inclusive, age-appropriate, and supportive, ensuring every child feels safe, seen, and encouraged.

Susie Sloth’s Secret Superpower: Breathing

Breathing is something we all do — but how we breathe can make a big difference to how we feel.

Susie Sloth teaches children gentle, effective breathing techniques that help:

Calm the nervous system
Reduce feelings of stress or anxiety
Improve focus and attention
Support emotional regulation

Through Susie’s guidance, children learn that their breath is always with them — a superpower they can use anytime, anywhere.

Why These Workshops Matter

Many children experience fast-paced routines, high stimulation, and big emotions without having the tools to manage them.

Some children may show signs of unhelpful breathing habits without realising, such as:

Breathing quickly or shallowly
Breathing high in the chest rather than the belly
Mouth breathing instead of nose breathing
Holding their breath when concentrating or stressed
Becoming easily overwhelmed or frustrated

Susie Sloth Workshops do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Instead, they gently support children in building healthier breathing awareness and emotional resilience in a playful, non-pressured way.
