We know that mindfulness, meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises give kids the skills they need to calm their minds, connect to their bodies, promote positive thinking, and build resiliency! But each of these are a practice and one that needs to be cultivated around consistency. My hope is to normalize a space where kids can begin to crave reflective time with themselves; a space where they can give themselves permission to dream, and to inspire self love.
