We will explore what meditation is and how we can practice meditation to cultivate focus and calm. First we will define meditation, then we will practice meditating. Week 1: Focus on the breath and an intention. Week 2: Focus on feeling steady and sturdy. Week 3: Focus on calm and spreading calm. Week 4: Focus on creating calm in the body and mind. Each class will offer 2 different meditation techniques and include descriptions of the techniques, explanations of the benefits of each type of meditation, time to meditate and time to ask questions and discuss learner’s experiences of the meditations. This is a creative process of directing attention to produce specific outcomes. Learners will be encouraged to approach the practice of meditation with an open mind and zero expectations. Everyone will be supported in a non-judgmental way. No experience or familiarity with meditation is required as this is a course for beginners.
Learning Goals
Students will learn 8 different meditation techniques, when to use them and why.Other Details
Parental Guidance
During each class we will practice a meditation (focus our attention on one object for a period of time).
No experience with meditation is necessary as what we will cover will be appropriate for beginners and taught in a secular manner.
Supply List
What Learners Will Need: - Somewhere to Explore and Experiment (a quiet space). - Something to Sit On (a meditation cushion, block or chair). - Something to Lie Down On (a yoga mat, blanket or rug). - Something to Drink (water, tea, juice or drink of choice). - Something to Eat (a small snack will be required for Week 3).

Teacher expertise and credentials
I am a certified Yoga Instructor with 17 years of experience, and have taught meditation for 7 years. The meditations offered in this course will be simple, easy to follow and in line with the course topic.
When teaching, I encourage the development of self-awareness with questions. Each learner will be encouraged to curiously explore what is going on for them and then use this insight to tailor their meditation practice.Parents also liked
