In this 8-week course, students will learn about the ability to be smart about feelings, our own and other people's so, we can understand and act on thoughts in an effective way. They will also learn mindful breathing techniques, how to raise focus, curiosity and compassion. This class is for everyone who wants to experience the benefits of mindfulness and meditation. They are excellent tools that can help kids/teens to cope better, be more focused, train their brain and support their heart to feel more joy. Practicing mindfulness/meditation daily is like gaining a superpower that help us overcome situations we could face every day.
