- Students will walk away with skills to enjoy the present moment. Mindfulness is proven to improve focus and concentration, improve sleep habits, regulate emotions and reduce stress and anxiety.
I am a 500 HR RYT teacher and meditation teacher with training for teens from Mindful Schools. I teach meditation classes to users of Meditation.LIVE from all over the world. I am also a certified Biology teacher and have taught in a classroom and virtually for 15 years, along with homeschooling my own children.
Each student will be provided with handouts to take notes, however, if they prefer to write in their own notebook or journal, that would be fine as well! If each student can have an unwrapped piece of chocolate (any kind you wish-small bite size would be best) for a mindful eating exercise, that would be great! Thank you. :)
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
Parents, if you can help your teens find or create a quiet space for this class, that would be wonderful! Thank you!
