Class Experience

In this class, students will be introduced to and get practice participating in a meditation involving visualization. Meditation is a great way to promote relaxation and mindfulness! 

We will learn a basic approach to deep breathing, and we will learn how to appreciate a scene in nature with different details. 

Class Structure:  In the first few minutes of class, we will introduce ourselves and discuss the meditation and breathing processes for the day

The meditation will last 10-15 minutes. During the meditation session, I will:

- place all students on mute 
- lead them through meditating on a scripted description of a scene in nature
- unmute students and ask them to share their thoughts and questions on the meditation. 

Here are some notes about the class that parents have found helpful:

- Learners can sit, stand, lie down, or even dance and act out the story if they want to during the meditation! The goal is for learners to feel relaxed, whatever way is best for them.  
- Closing your eyes during the meditation may be recommended but is not required.
- It is completely okay for learners to fall asleep during class! 
- I generally keep all learners on mute during class out of respect for the group and their meditation time. If any learner needs to get up and leave for a bit during the meditation for any reason, they can do so without asking me.  

The following notes are related to Outschool policies. Thank you and I look forward to having your learner in class!

Enrollment Note: Siblings, friends, and other groups of learners in the recommended age range are welcome to join the class and use one device, but each learner must be individually enrolled per Outschool's policy on multiple learners: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/2186663-enrolling-multiple-learners-in-the-same-class

Additionally, if a learner who falls between the ages of 3-18 wishes to enroll in the class but does not fall between the recommended age range of 5-10 (for example, if the learner is 4 years old) it is up to the discretion of the instructor to decide if the learner will be allowed to stay enrolled depending on the ages of the rest of the learners in the section. Learners between ages 3-18 who have not fallen in the recommended age of 5-10 have taken the class and were able to participate well.  

While families are welcome to observe their learners taking the class, Outschool requests that parents supervising their children stay off-camera as much as possible. No adult may enroll to take the class themselves. In case you need to be on camera to support your child, please message me so I am aware of the situation before class. Please see the item under the Parents FAQ, “Can adults take your classes?” https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/17205-parent-faq

Outschool welcomes learners of all backgrounds, abilities, etc.  Please see our Classroom Content Policy: https://support.outschool.com/en/articles/753895-class-content-policy

Teacher expertise and credentials
Master's Degree from Brown University
I have practiced meditation for 23 years; since I was a kid myself. I have practiced both in group settings and on my own. When I have taught students in afterschool programs, I found that giving students time to meditate for ten minutes before our lessons really helped them to focus and be engaged with their learning. For this reason, I want to introduce students to meditation as a strategy they can use to both allow them to relax and clear their minds to then be able to tackle whatever task they want to accomplish in the day.
