In The Breath of Tai Chi, children practice a mindful movement exercise that helps them focus on body alignment and breath. Standing with feet hip-width apart, hips forward, knees soft, spine straight, shoulders relaxed, and hands resting on thighs, they concentrate on feeling the weight of their body on the soles of their feet. As they tune into their breathing, children learn to synchronise their breath with slow, flowing movements. This activity fosters balance, body awareness, and coordination, promoting a sense of calm and focus while also encouraging mindfulness and relaxation.

The download includes easy-to-follow guidance, tips, and variations to make the activity engaging and effective, supporting children’s emotional well-being, relaxation, and development of body awareness and coordination.
