Feeling angry, stressed, overwhelmed, or worried? It can sometimes be difficult to label and verbalize our complex emotions! In this one-time class, students will learn about how their emotions impact them, and practice techniques designed to bring a feeling of peace and tranquility to their lives. This class is perfect for those who are ready to learn the basics of guided relaxation in a fun, interactive way. No prior knowledge is needed, just a desire to relax! Students will first discuss all of the Winnie the Pooh characters and their personalities. They will then brainstorm various emotions that humans experience, and which Winnie the Pooh characters personify those emotions. The teacher will guide these discussions, and sensitive topics will be avoided (only general definitions will be discussed). Students will then learn and practice relaxing deep breathing techniques through an activity called "Blustery Day Breathing." Next, students will participate in a Winnie the Pooh themed guided relaxation activity using nature imagery that relates to different emotions. Finally, students will have the opportunity to provide the teacher feedback and ask any questions about the relaxation exercise. *Please note that this class is not intended to provide therapy.

Students will learn how to label their emotions using characters from Winnie the Pooh. They will also learn the fundamentals of guided relaxation with simple, fun breathing exercises in a calm, peaceful environment.
