What to Expect.

Kids sessions are informal in that I do not expect kids to be quiet or hold still. I will start the kids off with an interactive meditation designed to bring their attention to their breathing a fun an accessible way. After that we will talk a bit about how everyone is feeling. We may use colors, cartoon faces, or even body movements to express how we are each feeling at the start of the session. Then, using those feelings as a prompt, we will start doing some breathing exercises designed to address specific feelings. This not only gives kids an opportunity to get to know their feelings better but encourages them to share their feelings and gives them tools to manage their feelings. After each breathing session, just like in adult sessions, we will have a chance to share how the breathing made us feel in our bodies. We will discuss if it has changed how we are feeling and also allow the kids time to describe what worked or didn’t work for them during the session. I will make every Inspired Breathworks session a safe space to share for children and adults alike. I also strongly encourage each childs adult to participate in the session. As parents we need all the deep breaths we can get too.

This is Jacky on the right. I know it is not exactly the most creative name. She is our family adventure mascot and an exceptionally good breathwork mascot as well!
