Children & Teens
Mindful Child
The New ABC’s—
Attention + Balance = Compassion*
A mindfulness-based yoga and meditation program for kids ages app. 8 to 13, offered for Fall 2010 at the Śānti Yoga studio through the generosity of the Practice for a Cure Foundation.
Each session includes yogic movement, games, storytelling, and guided meditations designed to support children’s ability to attend and focus in the moment, to self-regulate, and to reduce stress. Research on mindfulness-based practices indicates demonstrated efficacy on developing executive functioning, supporting compromised attention, and enhancing resilience to social, academic, and familial stressors, as well as increasing children’s ability to manage stress and to become “happier, kinder, and more compassionate”—towards themselves, as well as towards others.
Classes held Fridays, at 4:15, $10. Click here for more information.
Pre-registration and payment of tuition required at least 48 hours in advance. Call or email Chris for details.
