Why Use Mindful Breathing Exercises?
Mindful breathing is a great routine families and educators can implement in their homes and classrooms. It hardly takes much time, is a quiet activity, can work wonders with transitions, and helps to shift chaos energy into peaceful energy.
When we pay attention to our breathing, and “breathe on purpose,” the oxygen that we take in literally sends a message to the brain that everything is okay. In other words, mindful breathing helps us to move out of a reactive state into a receptive state. This means we are more ready to be present, learn, collaborate, and make better decisions in whatever context we find ourselves in.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING
My students are really engaged with these! I’m probably not competent in using the format. I had to physically move each piece back. I wish there was a way to reset the pages quickly. (There probably is…I just don’t know how.)

These breathing exercises are amazing! They were very engaging for in-person and virtual students from K-5. I use them in classroom lessons, small groups counseling, and individual counseling. My students are learning great mindfulness and self-regulation skills from practicing these. I especially love the slide that categorizes each activity, telling you whether it is breathing, crossing the midline, deep pressure, movement, etc. so that I can identify the best strategies for specific students and/or situations. (Each exercise falls into multiple categories.) My students also love the calming music!

During school closure, I was stuck on how to engage my students in our mindfulness practice as we always did something hands on and engaging when we were in-person. These slides are amazing! They are so well illustrated and engaging – even through a virtual session. Many families asked where to buy this resource so they could use them when their students became dysregulated at home.
