Breathing is simple, but the outcomes are huge.

Mindfulness is a growing field of study resulting in clearer minds, increased emotional awareness and improved focus.

Investing only 6% of the school day in mindful breathing programs is associated with an increase of approximately 16% relative to peers in mental health and academic performance.

Testimonials

  • "Breath Circle's teacher training gave me confidence to implement mindful breathing tools in a school context. I now utilise the tools regularly in my classroom to assist young people in self-regulation. I have observed huge shifts towards positive mental well-being as a result."

    — Ali Yamin, High School Teacher

  • "On arrival I felt really tight and compressed, almost like my insides were squeezed up in tension. Afterwards I felt so much more space and softness in my body, and a sense of peace in my mind, like I wasn't thinking at all during relaxation, and that hardly ever happens for me. I realised I really needed the breath work."

    — Student N, McKinnon Secondary (Melbourne)

    Described the shift after Breath Circle sessions; has since requested ongoing sessions.

  • "I learnt so much in Breath Circle's Teacher Training on the science behind the breath and how to use tools of mindful breathing with students. I now have a better understanding and more confidence in delivering a mindful breathing session."

    — Teacher, Fitzroy Primary School (Melbourne)

  • "Breath Circle has taught our students strategies to self-regulate their feelings. Students are able to calm their bodies and clear their minds using breathing techniques which have benefitted both students and teachers in the classroom."

    — Principal, Myrrhee Primary School (Regional Victoria, King Valley)

  • "Beata's effervescent personality allows genuine engagement with youth and her offerings will have long-lasting effects. This program should form part of every school's physical education lessons, it simply is non-negotiable!"

    — Andrea Couper, Primary School Teacher

  • "In Week 1, H committed to practice deep belly breathing twice daily on walks to and from school, and used it to help him fall and stay asleep. He reported being less reactive in difficult family situations, choosing to take time out rather than engage from a fight-or-flight state."

    — Student H, Year 12 student (Case note summary)

  • "The Breath Circle practice helped me understand and feel the benefits of deep breathing as a positive mental health strategy. My students were engaged in the sessions, and they said how relaxed the sessions made them feel."

    — Physical Education Co-ordinator, Hampton Park Primary School (Melbourne)

  • "The teacher training increased my understanding of how I will incorporate breath training into my work with teachers and students. I am committed to making Breath Circle an important part of my day and routine."

    — Principal, The Outdoor School
