Perth, Western Australia
Addressing children’s wellbeing through Movement, Mindfulness and Meditation. We come to your school and run an ‘8 Week Movement, Mindfulness & Meditation Programme’ which is a creative way to support the overall wellbeing of children. Children can experience and develop a skill set to manage underlying thought processes and empower them when facing personal challenges.
Clare hold’s Calming Minds ‘Children’s Movement, Mindfulness & Meditation Classes’ which run for one hour a week, for 8-weeks held before, after or during school hours. Each session has a concept which aligns to the Australian Health and Physical Education Curriculum strands.
Using current evidence based research, students can experience the benefits of quietening and calming their minds while regulating their own emotions in a fun way. To improve their ability to retain and recall information, improve concentration and learn to redirect mind chatter from a negative to a positive mindset to support good mental health.
