[Ryan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great resource for educators who want to implement a mindfulness practice for themselves and in their classroom. A bit focused toward younger children for my tastes and a bit basic, but that’s needed to get people started.

This is a great companion to the online training Rechtschaffen offers as it gives the full lesson outline for each activity.
