Sensory Awareness: Body-based Mindfulness Practices (1.5 CTLEs)

If CTLEs are desired, please check the appropriate box at registration and provide the additional information requested on the registration form.

In this class participants will learn specific mindfulness practices for youth to increase body awareness: using the five senses, internal sensations of the body and progressive relaxation.

We will explore how sensations can both trigger the stress response and be a portal for practice. Experiential activities will reinforce personal practice as a means for authentic teaching.

Prerequisite: The Mindful Classroom: An Introduction to Mindfulness for Educators
