마음챙김과 명상 (소규모 그룹 수업, 진행형)

This weekly class teaches students to take good care of their minds and bodies using kid-friendly mindfulness activities. Each class follows a similar structure with a slightly different theme each week.  The sitting meditation is called 'Pebble Meditation' and introduces kids to the basics of sitting meditation like how to sit, using the breath, and practicing concentration. Practicing mindfulness from a young age foundational skills for academics and life! 

Typical class activities include:
- yoga warm up
-pebble meditation (a sitting meditation using 4 pebbles and images from nature)
-mini-lesson and conversation about mindfulness 

"Practice not perfection!" 
Mindfulness is a skill we will build together with practice over time. I also encourage kids to practice what we learn outside of class in their daily life. Ask them what they are learning and consider practicing with them.  

Quiet AND social time each class
During class, we spend some time in silent meditation and some time discussing mindfulness and doing interactive activities. My main goal for this class is to provide age-appropriate, fun, mindfulness practice so students have a positive experience with mindfulness from an early age.
