Mindfulness Matters - St James' Primary School, Wetherby

Year 1 began their Friday morning with some mindfulness and yoga.

Being mindful means having your mind on what you are doing. It’s the opposite of rushing or doing too many things at once. To be mindful, you slow down to take your time, which is hard to do in our busy lives.

The children learnt a breathing technique called ‘Balloon Belly Breathing and were able to demonstrate some basic yoga poses.
