Gaia Mindful Moments for Kids

With Billie (Jugat Joti Kaur) of Gaia Wellness Retreat

12:00-1:00

During this workshop children (and adults) will practice meditation and yoga while incorporating interactive games, stories and activities. Through meditation we will be learning breathing techniques and visualization to manage strong emotions, self-regulate, cope with transitions and build resiliency. Using Yoga as a moving meditation, children will leave the feeling grounded and refreshed.

The simple and fun techniques we use can easily be incorporated into a daily routine and will be developmentally appropriate for each child’s unique interests, needs and abilities. Together the children will create a safe and beautiful place to connect with their true selves, building their sense of self love and worth.

Kids of all ages (and their parents) can enjoy fun, engaging activities that teach them the basics of mindfulness. They’ll practice breathing exercises, visualizations and even try some focus-based meditation.

*This workshop will be held on the floor.  You are welcome to bring a yoga mat, small blanket or small seating cushion to improve comfort.
