For the past five months, Gina and Jodi from Buddah Warrior have been working with our Felicity students. Every Tuesday during P.E., each of the instructors separate the P.E. class into two sections, one section for students who want a high impact workout with Gina. The workouts provided during high impact P.E. include: self-defense techniques and cardio kickboxing. This is a great space for students to try different types of workouts in a P.E. class setting on a more consistent basis.
For the students who are not interested in a high impact P.E. workout, Jodi guides some of the students through practicing mindfulness and meditation exercises. “After mindfulness, the kids have said they feel a sense of calm for about 1-2 hours after the exercises” high school teacher Mr. Watson states. Mindfulness groups with Jodi from Buddah Warriors give students the opportunities to journal about being present in the moment and setting intentions for the day ahead, it encourages students to slow down and take the day one moment at a time to reduce previous patterns of impulsive behavior.
Recently, the Buddah Warriors and some of our Felicity team was featured on a news segment regarding self-defense practices! Please visit this link to check it out: https://wgntv.com/2020/01/22/around-town-learns-cobra-self-defense-with-the-buddha-warrior-girls/
