Treehouse Meditation & Pilates
for Schools
Replace school discipline or detention with a more progressive and effective technique, one where children learn to meditate. Punishing children with the hope they will spontaneously reevaluate their own behaviour, is not always the solution. Teaching them to be more mindful, focus on their breath in a calm environment will have more of a long term positive affect.
Children of all ages can benefit from Meditation, Mindfulness and calming exercise. Meditating even only a few minutes a day has proven to reduce stress, boost immunity, aid memory and concentration, decrease depression and anxiety, and even make you more compassionate.
Infusing the Treehouse Meditation and Pilates program into the school day, may help children to think before they act and avoid the things that get them into trouble in the first place.

Benefits of Meditation for Children
1. EnhanceD Focus
Children are distracted by gadgets, technology and social media, emotionally and mentally their brains are juggling many different thoughts. We want our children to focus,and solve problems, whether it be in lessons, after school with homework, or eating with the family. Meditation changes brain patterns and heightens mental focus that may improve cognitive performance.
2. Develops Self-Esteem And Self-Love
Growing up can be tough, especially during puberty, which can knock our children’s confidence and self esteem, making them feel like they are not good enough. Insecurities from situations can imprint negativity. Treehouse Meditation and Pilates can help children feel secure and transform self doubt, as children learn to relax, feel happy and experience inner peace and self love.
3. Relieves Stress For Peak Performance
Children can experience stress from school work, peer pressure, home life, which can affect their health and well being, physically and mentally. A calm mind, leads to a calm body, reducing tension and helping us to perform at our peak. Treehouse Meditation helps children to refocus, which can positively impact their school work and social performance. More schools are incorporating meditation in their learning programs, and it’s only a matter of time that meditation becomes a norm for education programs.
4.Emotional Happiness
Children sometimes have to face, living in unsettled homes with a fear of not being accepted, causing frustration and distress. This can all have long term repercussions. The two main components of meditation are mindfulness and self awareness. Treehouse Meditation and Pilates help with problem solving, patience, acing fears and consequently helping children to overcome any negative emotions.
