About Yoga & Mindfulness
Yoga and Mindfulness summer camp is a week-long specialized program to teach children and youth about mindfulness and why it can be beneficial to practice. Participants will learn ways to help them be aware and focus on the present through breathing exercises, guided visualizations and interactive activities. For many children and youth with learning disabilities and Attention Deficit (Hyperactivity) Disorder, focusing and being present in the moment can present an ongoing struggle. Mindfulness training has shown to improve attention, focus, memory, self-understanding and self-acceptance. In addition, mindfulness helps to alleviate anxiety by focusing on the present rather than worrying about the future (Hooker & Fodor, 2008).
