“ When I breathe, I can feel it in my rib cage”
“I feel really good and calm after we breathe”
“I don’t want this to end”
(School Counselor)- “This work is so important for the kids to learn about their whole bodies. They are learning life long skills to help manage their days better. I can’t thank you enough for sharing this with our students as well as lightening up my load on a social emotional whole school level”
(Vice Principal) “I’m so glad you are working with our students. In some regards, this year is more difficult than last year from an emotional and behavior needs level. These are great, simple tools that our students can use anywhere”
