Course Overview

Self awareness and breath awareness lay the foundation for mindfulness and meditation. The act of tuning into your breath not only grounds you in the present moment, but nurtures a sense of calm and peace. As you cultivate self-awareness, you unlock an awareness of your environment, thoughts, and emotions. Through the learning of both breath awareness and self awareness, you are able to slowly hone the skill of being present and mindful. This allows you to become conscious of your surroundings, your mind, and your emotions. In this course, your child will learn how to connect to their breath, how to move their awareness within, and initiate thoughtful reflections in the present moment.
