Breathwork and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL)
complement each other beautifully. Breathwork helps children regulate their emotions and focus their attention, while SEL builds skills like self-awareness, empathy, and responsible decision-making. Integrating them can make SEL more experiential and embodied, helping kids feel what self-regulation and calm awareness are like in their bodies.
How Breathwork Supports SEL Competencies
Self-Awareness - Encourages noticing sensations, thoughts, and emotions.
Self-Management - Builds impulse control and stress regulation.
Social Awareness - Promotes empathy by centering before engaging.
Relationship Skills - Encourages listening and co-regulation with peers.
Responsible Decision-Making - Creates pause between feeling and reacting.
Integrating Breathwork in Schools
can profoundly support emotional regulation, focus, and resilience among both students and staff. Let's meet to design, customize, and implement breathwork in your school and build a transformational atmosphere for learning.
