3 ways that mindfulness boosts our immune system, lowers stress and anxiety, and reduces common illnesses.

In this episode of The Wellbeing in Education Podcast I talk about anxiety, and specifically how we help reduce it with mindful movement at school. We know that we need to reduce anxiety levels and increase the well-being of our pupils and educators, so in this episode, I want to share with you how mindful movement has the potential to do just that!

In this episode of The Wellbeing in Education Podcast I'm talking about what it really means to be mindful - and the true positive impact it can have for us in education.
