Mindfulness Based Sessions

Allison Ulan guides mindfulness sessions within the classroom set up.  The program is set up for a 6 or 10 week period to work the schools curriculum.  In morning or afternoon session, she visits 3 – 5 classes for 15 minutes at a time.  The sessions build the principles of mindfulness through short concentration exercises, mindful movement experiments,  booklet games and insight sharings. Eventually the students will guide mindfulness exercises for each other to embodiy the depth of mindfulness.  In 4 EMSB schools, the program successfully develops self awareness, emotional intelligence and engaged compassion.

Fee: The fee for these sessions depend on the amount of time and classes are guided per morning. A typical fee scale is from $50 to $130. Contact Allison Ulan at allisonulan@gmail.com to book these sessions for your students.

Mindful Yoga Sessions

Yoga for Kids is all about how concentration, relaxation and awareness are fun.  The more we experience the positive benefits o these practices, they more we want to do them.

Through 30 or 50 minute routines, children are guided through yoga postures, breath games, concentration puzzles and group yoga games to access calm and develop their awareness.  These classes help children reconnect to playing and moving without the negative aspects of competition. Educators are invited into the class so they can learn and then use the techniques in other classroom settings. Kids love these classes because their creativity in movement is expressed. By the end of each class, everyone leaves happy and relaxed.

Fees for different classes:

30 minute classes with mats and materials provided is $50 plus GST and PST per session.

50 minute classes with mats and materials provided is $75 plus GST and PST per session.
