Benefits of Mindfulness for Pupils

Are you really here? Right now?

Mindfulness in schools and colleges is not an academic exercise - it is a way of life. Mindfulness:
  • Teaches tips and tricks to deal with life, just as it is, without wishing it was different or worrying what might be
  • Helps pupils navigate classroom life and playground politics
  • Provides calming methods to prepare for and use in exams 
  • Increases capacity and willingness to learn 
  • Creates a practical tool box to use in unfamiliar or uncomfortable situations
  • Aids recognition and mastery of emotions
  • Teaches children and young people to value themselves for exactly who they are
  • Reinforces a growth mindset

Benefits of Mindfulness for Teachers

Its all about balance

Live a more balanced life with greater definition between work and home.  A mindfulness practice gives you the tools to accomplish the working-day tasks and care for your students - and still have time to live and enjoy your own life with your family and friends. 

At times we can all feel overloaded by the list of tasks and of people who need you.

For teachers, Mindfulness helps you to:
  • Recognise the signs of stress and overwhelm - and what to do 
  • Focus on what is important to you and your students
  • Manage administrative responsibilities, whilst remaining true to your values
  • Cultivate the qualities that lead to engaged and calm classrooms

I have been benefitting from Christine’s mindfulness teachings for a couple of years now, initially as a member of one of her private yoga classes. 
Christine really seems to understand how individuals can bring mindfulness into their own everyday and more importantly help us to apply it. I often find myself employing methods that Chris has taught us to help calm my mind such as breathing techniques and observing the thoughts without acting on them. 
She has great turns of phrase and examples to really help the mindfulness methods stick. I even find myself teaching the rest of my family the techniques!
