As with all my classes, this class is a safe place to learn about meditation, breath work and mindfulness. There are no judgments and no experience is needed. Mindfulness and meditation is a personal journey and I am here to help you on that journey. Each session we would do breathing activities, gratitude practice, guided relaxations/meditations. We will begin each week with a short discussion and set an intention for our practice. Intentions are powerful statements that help us our manifestation power, mental clarity, and focus. They help with our overall state of mind and perspective. I encourage my learners to carry this intention into the rest of their day and week. We will progress into a pranayama session which means breath control or breathing exercise. These a simple breathing techniques that your learner can use to help them in their daily lives to help to bring their bodies into a state of calm and relaxation. We will then do a practice of gratitude. When we are grateful we bring abundance into our lives. So each week we will do a practice of gratitude to help your learner to appreciate and be thankful for themselves and their lives. Each week we will add notes of gratitude to a gratitude jar. So please have: * a pen/pencil * small note papers or a large sheet that you can cut up. * jar, tin or box (something to store your gratitude notes). Finishing up with a guided meditation to help them to train their mind to stay focused in the present moment. Meditation is not about stopping our thoughts but rather focusing our thoughts on the present, such as our breath. There are many benefits to breathing, mindfulness, meditation including but not limited to helping students replace stressful thoughts and anxiety with something positive and in turn, bring about a calm mind. This is class will set your tween/teen on a journey of being mindful, self-aware, and self-compassionate. Each of these will help your tween/teen to find who they truly should be.
