How does it work?
- Schools (Classroom Teachers / School Administration) are invited to apply for a free Mindfulness Incursion as part of Mental Health Week 2020. The application form is an easy-to-complete form which includes all your details helping us to source a suitable Facilitator for your class.
- Mindfulness Incursions are the length of your teaching period, e.g. 45-60minutes – but can be held shorter if that suits your schedule better.
- A panel at Yogazeit Ltd. will be reviewing the applications. With thanks to funding support from Neami National and Yogazeit Ltd., seven schools will be able to receive a FREE Mindfulness incursion in Term 4. No costs or commitments to the school apply.
- Yogazeit Instructors hold a valid Working with Children Card, Insurance, Public Liability, First Aid Training, COVID-19 Safety Training and – of course – are trained in providing safe Mindfulness classes for schools.
- Schools will be notified by 21 of September 2020 if they’ve been successful.
- We don’t use any religious connotations and maintain secularism in our programs. Our Guiding Principles can be found here.
- All our programs are suitable for children and teenagers with all abilities.
