Rainbow Breathing


Breath work is so great for kids as it introduces them to a wide range of physical, mental, and emotional benefits. When kids can connect with their breath it helps them get out of their heads and connect with their bodies. By just taking in and being conscious of your breath, kids can regulate their nervous systems and find calm when they are overwhelmed.
Stress Reduction
Breath work is an excellent mechanism that can help kids regulate stress. Creating a practice where kids are conscious of their breath is calming their nervous system and reduces feelings of anxiety and stress.
Emotional Regulation
Breath work can teach children how to manage their emotions effectively. By focusing on their breathing, kids can learn to pause, reflect, and respond thoughtfully in challenging situations, rather than reacting impulsively.
Improved Focus
Practicing breath work can enhance children’s focus and concentration. By learning to control their breathing, kids can improve their ability to pay attention, stay present, and engage in tasks more effectively.
By creating a fun activity with Rainbow Breathing, we can introduce this mindful exercise to kids in a fun and engaging way.

Taking deep breaths when feelings get overwhelming is a practice that can be invaluable for all of us. When kids are feeling anxious or stressed this practice can help them find calm and regulate their nervous feelings. Using fun modalities like this Rainbow Breathing tool, can be a good way to introduce this practice to young people in a fun way that won’t make the practice seem too intimidating.
In my new book, How are you feeling?, there is a mountain breathing exercise that creates a peaceful moment in the middle of reading the book. Parents this is for you too!
