Thoughts and Feelings: Mindfulness Practices to Focus the Mind
While cognition and emotions may make us uniquely human, we often don’t realize how these mental activities can add to the experience of stress.
In this class we will learn mindfulness practices for youth to focus the mind, attend to thoughts and feelings, increase attention and build self-regulation.
Experiential activities will reinforce personal practice as a means for authentic teaching.
Prerequisite: The Mindful Classroom: An Introduction to Mindfulness for Educators
