This presentation will support educators and other school personnel in learning and implementing a variety of mindfulness practices in their personal lives and start exploring with their students to support them in self-regulation.

In this workshop kids will learn what mindfulness is and how it can be used as their own superpower to help them feel calm and grounded. They will explore a couple of mindfulness techniques and breathing strategies to help them regulate their bodies.

“Mind full or Mindful (now Mindfulness Foundations) was a wonderful course that helped me learn how to use meditation to regulate my mind, body, and focus. I loved all the aspects of learning how to incorporate meditation into my whole life: individual, family, and work. I received so many ideas and practices that can be used in my classroom and I am very excited to begin!”

“This class was one of if not the best class I've taken in high school. I truly think everyone should take this class because it can be so much more impactful than students may realize. This class teaches real life skills that everyone should be more aware of. If it were up to me I would have the school offer more than just one mindfulness class a semester so more students can be exposed to and experience it.”

“What an amazing course for personal and professional growth! This course helped me to understand how to recognize dysregulation and ways to move back into a regulated state. These strategies are not only effective for adults but could be invaluable in calming, focusing and regulating even middle school classes like mine!”

“I'm just really thankful for this class. It helped me so much especially with learning how to deal with my emotions and keep myself calm and relax when I get stressed. I'll definitely continue to practice mindfulness in the future, it's become an important part of my life.”

“I would highly recommend this course for any educator. During this course mindfulness has become such a valuable tool for me personally and has helped me throughout all areas of my life, including in my job. Mindfulness is something that I will definitely continue to practice and share with my students and my family long term.”

“Thank you so much for teaching me all of these tools. I can say in a short amount of time you've changed my life and how I view the world and the people around me.”

“Every educator should be required to take this class! It has changed my life! Christy has taught us ways to get better at relationships and life. I LOVE knowing what I know and it's been a fun exploration. I feel grateful for my new knowledge and I'm enjoying my life more. I love that we are teaching this stuff to kids! It's such a powerful, lifelong tool for kids. Thank you Christy!”

“Even though I didn't sign up for this class, I would never trade it. I wish everyone could experience the connection we all share in this room. It’s like a second family, thank you so much Mrs. Land. You've helped me so much. You’re an amazing teacher. I wish everyone could have you as a mindfulness teacher. Thank you for an amazing semester.”
