Mindfit Cornwall's Helen Gaskin will guide you through a range of strategies and techniques to calm your nervous system, self-regulate and bring awareness to your whole wellbeing to use in your personal, school life and your classrooms. You will learn how to use your breath well to support your nervous system, relieve anxiety and stress. The session will guide you through the importance of good emotional health that provides you with the ability to calm down and understand your feelings, thoughts and behaviours. Learning how to regulate and breathe well provides this wonderful tool to calm your nervous system. You will learn how to bring your mind and body into a parasympathetic state, connecting the mind and the body in this rest and digest state brings improved wellness; when you breathe well and calm down  the vagus nerve is activated and you feel more relaxed. 
 
 
Helen will guide you to manage stress and  by bringing a variety of techniques into your daily routine that will improve your whole wellbeing along with identifying your triggers to  create a bank of regulation tools to support you and your class.
 
 
The tools and strategies Helen will teach you could be used in staff training, with all the children and incorporated into the wellness policy.
