Information and resources for teenagers' and children's courses

One day introductory courses are held for both teenagers (12-16 years, high school) and children (8-12 years, primary school ) during the year.

During the courses the students learn Anapana meditation, the awareness of their own natural breath. The aim is to enable them to practise after the course for about ten minutes twice a day. This daily practice has been found to bring many benefits, including:

• helping them to cope with stress, worry, anxiety and nervousness, and
• improving their concentration and memory.

As they learn to calm and concentrate their minds, they also learn to gain mastery over their impulses and actions.

Scheduled courses are shown below, or in the regular course schedule. Courses can also be arranged by parents or teachers at other times for groups of 10 or more – either in school term or in the holidays. For more information please email info@aloka.dhamma.org.
