Mindfulness

Mindfulness is being aware and paying attention to what is happening in the present moment. Mindfulness can help us notice our thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and actions. At Portola we teach mindfulness lessons from the book: Teaching Transformative Life Skills for Students, A Comprehensive Dynamic Mindfulness Curriculum. The curriculum is evidence based, trauma informed, field tested, and highly regarded in the field of Social Emotional Learning. Below, please find videos from Niroga.org with movements to try at home.
