The class begins with a fun introduction to mindfulness, followed by hands-on activities like breathing exercises and mindful movement. We’ll wrap up with a reflection and a calming visualization to help students relax.

How will you teach?
I’ll guide the students through each activity using simple explanations, hands-on practice, and short discussions. We’ll do fun exercises together, like breathing games and listening activities, to help them understand mindfulness.

What's your teaching style?
My teaching style is interactive, playful, and supportive. I aim to create a welcoming space where students feel comfortable exploring mindfulness through activities that are easy to follow and fun to practice.

Other Details

Learning Needs
This workshop supports diverse learners by using visual, verbal, and hands-on activities. Mindfulness techniques can be adapted to fit individual needs, helping all kids manage emotions, stay focused, and feel confident in their abilities.
Parental Guidance
There is light movement/stretches in this class. It's not a workout, it's only to bring awareness to the body. Students will need an open space, but if space is limited, movement can be done in a seat. There will be no rigorous movement, so footwear isn't required, students might like to have a water bottle handy, but it's not necessary. No stretching is needed before hand, the movement will be light stretching in nature. If students are overly flexible, there is the chance of a strained muscle if they go too far. Parents might want to be present to make sure their child doesn't over stretch.
Pre-Requisites

Soft background music for the mindful listening activity (optional)
