Classes for Children and Teenagers
Meditation Classes
@ Buddha Land KMC, Keighley
9.30am – 10.30am Saturdays
The teachings of Buddha and learning to meditate are ideal for children and teens to help them let go of their daily worries and concerns and to have a peaceful and relaxed mind and develop a positive outlook.
Many children and young people have busy and distracted minds, and they struggle with anxiety, worries and lack of confidence.
By trying simple, guided meditations, they can learn how to stay calm and happy, no matter how difficult things seem to be.
“with such busy lives, meditation is so important for everyone these days, including children” – One of the parents of the children who attend the children’s class.
We offer the following:
Children’s Classes
Suitable for ages 5-11
Includes simple meditations and a short explanation of how to meditate.
Teen Class
Suitable for age 12 upwards
Includes simple meditations, short teaching and an opportunity to discuss some of the ideas from the teaching and how these might help solve current worries and concerns.
If you are not sure which class your child might benefit from due to their age, please drop us an email to discuss.
Parents are asked to attend the class with their child.
