Teenager's and children's courses
Information and resources for teenagers' and children's courses
In
2005 one-day courses are being held for teenagers and children in Blackheath
and Sydney.
During the courses the students learn Anapana, the awareness of their own natural breath. The aim is to enable them to practise after the course for about ten minutes twice a day. This daily practice has been found to bring many benefits, including:
- helping them to cope with stress, anxiety, worry and nervousness, and
- improving their concentration and memory.
 |
As they learn to calm and concentrate their minds, they also learn to gain mastery over their impulses and actions. Scheduled courses are listed in the course schedule. Courses can also be arranged by parents or teachers at other times for groups of 10 or more - either in school term or in the holidays. For more information please contact us by email. |
