As a teacher, I have noticed how students in inner-city schools sometimes lack the ability to cope with frustrations, easily distracted with overstimulation, and are unable to focus. Mindfulness is a practice that my students would greatly benefit from living in a traffic-heavy and busy community. Most of my students tend to live in large apartment complexes or with little opportunities to be in nature. Students need multiple opportunities to just move around and be present.
My 1st grade students would love using yoga mats to practice different stretching techniques and movements to help them focus, cope, and learn calming and soothing strategies!
