Bringing Mindfulness & beKIND Into The Classroom
Mindful Teacher Mindful Classroom
As a K-12 school teacher I quickly realized my role was more than just teaching the curriculum... kids were stressed and anxious as young as 7 or 8 years old, many kids in my classroom were labelled ADD or ADHD, unable to focus, concentrate or even sit still, there was bullying, depression, anger issues, insomnia and the list goes on and on. Many of the teachers and parents too were dealing with this. I wanted to do something. I wanted help. So I developed a TIME OUT Mindfulness Training & Kit specifically for teachers, students and parents. The Mindfulness kit includes mindfulness exercises as well as meditation and mindfulness techniques (3-11minutes) for relaxation, stress reduction, self-regulation, memory, concentration, focus and depression. t's simple and easy to do. All you need is you! Almost 2000 teachers across the province have taken this training and I’ve seen this chance many lives.
During this session, I will teach you a variety of mindfulness & meditation techniques for relaxation, mental focus and concentration to integrate in your daily life and in the classroom with your students. You will also get to experience in 30 seconds how you can shift negative thought patterns with a very simple breathing technique. I will conclude this session with a meditation I was taught by a Yoga Master in India which is backed by scientific research showing more blood flow to the frontal lobe...the area responsible for focus, concentration and memory.
So come join us, our beKIND Mindfulness Movement of over 13 000 adults, teens and kids as we begin Day 1 of the beKIND Mindfulness Challenge. Today you could be the next.
