Mindful Me -

Mindfulness is a concept is growing more and more into the community and the school system. The current use of technology gives us a a great amount of benefits and at the same time takes time away from relating personally to others and socializing appropriately.  A developing child now needs to understand the importance of relationships, starting with ourselves. Through different sensory exercises and breath work, we will practice being mindful of whats happening with our body and mind, things we see and feel, helping us to handle stress and big emotions. Learning to be mindful will help children with self regulation coping skills, feeling calmer, focused, grounded and making better decisions. Mindful breathing work improves self control and helps grow the thoughtful pre frontal cortex part of our brain.
In this class we will use our body and mind to move with our breath through different brain balancing exercises and practice of presence. We will also talk about concepts such as kindness, focus and gratitude. Help children learn empathy, recognize and manage emotions through fun, games, activities and meditation.

No experience is required to learn mindfulness and students might get the challenge to practice something learned in our session for the following week and get a chance to share their experience in the next session.
