Description
In recent years, our world has been engulfed by stress, anxiety, and worry. Educators are seeking ways to address this reality in our classrooms and studios, striving to improve our students’ learning experiences across their time with us. This workshop, sharing new insights gleaned from additional research and study, offers practices we can share with our students that will bring us together through movement and breath, positively impacting our minds and spirits. We will begin by engaging with embodied meditation through Qigong, one of the main branches of Traditional Chinese Medicine, which will be the core of this presentation. Just a few minutes of daily Qigong practice can increase energy and focus, help body alignment, and allow us the opportunity to consciously move with our breath. We will also briefly consider how even a few minutes of still meditation can enhance our students’ self-awareness and emotional control. Working with Qigong and other meditative practices, we can aid our students by giving them tools that will help them to lessen their anxiety and stress (particularly stress related to stage fright) and increase their access to the benefits of mindfulness and well-being. With regular practices such as these, we can make a difference in our well-being and emotional outlook.
