Jana is trained as a Mindfulness Educator through the Mindful Schools program and would love to bring Mindfulness Classes to your school or program.

Why Mindfulness?

Today’s educators and students carry so much on their shoulders. Meeting academic and social expectations, and simply growing up and developing a sense of self and belonging, can be challenging. Yet the pressures in today’s educational environment reach far beyond these basics. Our world is moving and changing faster than ever.

We need a response that addresses the overall health and sustainability of learning environments and supports the well-being of every educator, student, and member of the school community.

An increasing number of today’s students face challenges that affect their ability to focus attention, regulate difficult emotions, build inner resilience, and form healthy and supportive relationships.

We need to learn effective ways to calm our students’ anxious nervous systems while providing them with supportive relationships, nurturing experiences, and positive learning environments.

How Mindfulness Helps

Research finds that mindfulness practices can help decrease stress and anxiety, and strengthen resilient and emotional regulation, for both adults and children.

Because the roots of stress lie deep in the nervous system, we need tools that go beyond the conceptual mind to directly target the system. To transform our habitual responses and build resilience, we need to create space to regularly practice our skills when we are not in “fight-flight-freeze” mode.

Research shows that mindfulness practice can increase attention, improve interpersonal relationships, and strengthen compassion.
