Psalms & Stretches is an invaluable approach to enabling students to learn about and practice mindfulness and spiritual growth through active movement. Having practiced this approach myself through both online and face to face sessions, I can testify to the noticeable emotional and physical benefits. The approach is accessible to all levels and ages. Psalms & Stretches is particularly valuable to schools with an active Christian faith focus. Students of all ages are able to incorporate their Christian journey with a contemplative activity that will give them a sense of peace, improve their focus skills and increase a sense of wellness. This initiative has a wide range of useful applications for student and staff wellbeing. It is a useful tool for sound mental health for all members of a school community.
