upcoming classes
There are no group classes scheduled at this time.
Private classes can be scheduled by emailing angela@meditot.com.
academy approach
Meditot offers an academy approach to teaching children meditation and mindfulness, which introduces foundational skills in the first class and builds on those skills in subsequent classes. Each class provides instruction in conscious breathing techniques, mindfulness activities or mindful movement (basic yoga), and guided meditation, and classes wrap up with a discussion or craft activity as an opportunity for students to share what they learned.
To help children build the emotional intelligence skills, or "superpowers", that reinforce the meditation and mindfulness practice, each class focuses on an emotional intelligence-related theme, such as kindness. The first series of classes, making up the Level 1 curriculum, focuses on simple themes, as listed below. A certificate of achievement to "Junior Meditator" status is awarded once Level 1 classes are completed. Level 2 themes are more complex and build on the concepts from Level 1. Once Level 2 is completed, a "Mindful Meditator" certificate of achievement is awarded. Level 3 concepts build on both Level 1 and Level 2, and upon completion, a "Master Meditator" certificate is awarded.
