If you don’t have stress in your life… please skip it.

Great video! I have trying to teach some mindfulness with my Year One class and also trying to lead by example. We’ve been doing “Belly Breathing”, which is much like Gillian’s long, slow breath out, then a slow breath in. Seems to be working for some of the children! We also have movement breaks, usually involving an action song, dance or both!

  Hi Anne. What a powerful statement: I try to lead by example. Plus, the movement breaks are so important as they help oxygenate the brain and help students stay focused, positive and feeling great. Plus, they are great for us as teachers too! Thanks Anne.

Some great tips that are both simple, realistic an practical for teachers in their busy day, thankyou Gillian and William. Mindfulness is a big part of any teacher wellbeing initiative…. the key is mindful moments, even if it 30 seconds at a time.
