MINDFUL MOVEMENT

Mindfulness is when we are self aware in the present moment. Mindlessness is when we are focused on the past or future events and miss what is happening right now. Mindfulness practice activates the prefrontal cortex which is responsible for body regulation, insight, attuned communication with others, empathy, emotional balance, and response flexibility. Research indicates that activating the pre-frontal cortex will improve focus, effort, emotion, memory and montoring one's actions.

Meditation

Scholarly research finds that mindfulness practice decreases stress and anxiety, increases attention, improves interpersonal relationships, strengthens compassion, and confers a host of other benefits. 

Yoga

Yoga can improve focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, and classroom behavior, and can even reduce anxiety and stress in children.

Emerging research studies also suggest that yoga can help children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) by improving the core symptoms of ADHD, including inattentiveness, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. It can also boost school performance in children with ADHD.

Movement

Studies show that children who are more active exhibit better focus, faster cognitive processing, and more successful memory retention than kids who spend the day sitting still. Keeping the body active promotes mental clarity by increasing blood flow to the brain, making activity vital to both learning and physical and neurological health.
