The Importance of Mindfulness in Public Schools

The Wendy De Rosa Sessions

About Amy Thomton: Amy has been an academic educator in the public school system for the past 24 years. This year marks her 21st working for Denver Public Schools. She currently holds the position at West High School as their Student Support Coordinator, and specifically, their Social Emotional Learning Lead. Amy brings Yoga and Mindfulness into the classroom to support their social and emotional learning. She also completed her 200 YTT with Breath for Change and her Children's YTT with the amazing women of Kids Yoga Guide, Yogiful, and Yoga Hive. Sharing Mindfulness and Yoga practices with those that may not traditionally have had these opportunities is her passion!

In this episode, Amy talks about teaching mindfulness to high school students in her public school to support their social and emotional learning. She shares what set her on the path of pivoting from an academic educator to supporting students with their social and emotional health in combination with their academic learning. Amy talks about the impact of the pandemic on students and the differences she’s noticed by giving them a safe place to express themselves. She learned that 80% of her students practice the tools she has taught them on their own in their personal life. Amy also provides a demonstration for us on 2 mindfulness practices that you can do for yourself or with your children. Give a listen to this powerful episode!
