Mindful Monday

Everyday, at the end of PE class for elementary and at the beginning of class for middle school, student's lay in savasana. It gives student's an opportunity to relax, reflect, and re-focus for class. It also helps them cool down and calm down. What a difference it has made in creating peaceful energy in our student's. With our lives moving so quickly, it gives student's a chance to pause for one minute of their day. Laying in savasanna is similar to "re-booting" a computer. It gives us a chance to rest and re-program our mind and body to take on new challenges we face throughout the day. According to a program called Mindful Schools, it has lead to zero detentions and higher attendance ratings at some schools. Click on the link to learn more: Mindfulness in School
