I’m thinking of all my schoolteacher friends today, back at it. Maybe it’s your second week of school, maybe your second day—wherever you are, I'm guessing that simple, quick tools to help your children calm and focus themselves are important to you. (This goes for at home as well as in the classroom, of course!)
So I’d like to give you a gift today—my Mindful Moments for Kids album. It’s a collection of 30 one-minute mindfulness exercises for children that can be done seated or standing, any time of day. Perfect for classroom or home (and great in the car). These super-simple exercises are designed to help children harness their energy, release anxiety, and develop self-awareness. Each track consists of my simple voiceover instructions set to a musical backdrop of my songs. (It also includes two bonus songs at the end: a new recording of the ever-popular “Dance for the Sun,” and a mantra-like lullaby, “Just Be,” perfect for rest time or savasana.)
For me, the bittersweet end of summer means back to working in schools, and these simple, effective tools are my go-to when I train teachers and work with students. (I’ll also be getting the music, movement & mindfulness message to tons of kids with Rockin’ Yoga assemblies!)
Please let me know how you’re using the Mindful Moments (grab the whole bunch of ‘em here) and get in touch if you’d like me to come visit your school!
