Mindfulness in Schools .b trained

As a trained .b Teacher, I am qualified to work with schools/sports clubs/scouts and educational centres to teach children and young people Mindfulness in their learning environment. Working together with teachers and their students:

• This course is delivered as weekly sessions over a period of 10 weeks.
• Can also be taught in a block of 5 or more days for example at holiday camps or for project week.
• Each lesson is between 40-60 minutes.
• Students are invited to do some daily practice and resources will be given for each lesson.

What is the .b?

The .b curricula is evidenced based and has been designed as a classroom introduction to Mindfulness. It aims to be an awareness raising exercise that gives students a taste of what mindfulness is through various practises and activities. Students can thus return to it in later life, when they need to.

What .b isn’t

is not therapy

is not Buddhism

is not yoga

is not visualisation

is not relaxation

Some benefits of .b for Students according to MiSP are:

• To experience overall well-being
• To fulfil their potential and pursue their own goals
• To improve their concentration and focus
• To work with difficult mental states such as anxious thoughts and low moods
• To cope with the everyday stresses and strains of adolescent life such as exams, relationships, sleep problems, family issues
