Valerie DeWitt, a certified YogaKids® Teacher, has over 15 years of experience bringing mindfulness and movement practices to children and adults throughout Miami-Dade County. Since 2014, Valerie has brought her passion and skills to Mindful Kids Miami and has led the 12-week experiential Mindful Teachers' Training Program, which provides adults with the resources to bring age-appropriate mindfulness practices, activities and games to the children they serve.
Teens will learn mindfulness through games, group activities and focus awareness practices.
Research has found that mindfulness training for children and teens increases attention and social emotional awareness.
Benefits for teens include:
- Dealing with stress in positive ways
- Tune in instead of tune out
- Improved connection with body and mind
Practices include mindful movement, games and exercises, mindful relaxation and kindness practices.
