- Helen Needham, Radio 4 Producer, visiting School Breathe member, Westdale Infant School, Nottingham.

"We have been using School Breathe techniques after lunch at least 1 or 2 afternoons a week during well-being time. We can then talk to individual children when they are anxious, angry or upset about the techniques they've used. As we all know them, this works really well."

- Head Teacher Bellfield School, Birmingham

"If I'm very angry at my younger or older sibling, I can calm my mind and breath down, by breathing 3 quick breaths in and 1 powerful breath out."

- Ted, aged 7, St Stephens School

"The children LOVED these classes. We have implemented a 5 minute daily practice after registration."

- Miss Wilson, Lauriston School, London

"The breathing techniques are so relaxing, and help me empty my mind and feel refreshed."

- Kean, age 9, Sebright School

"We use Monday assembly times to deliver School Breathe for the week, share the printable breath techniques with parents in our weekly newsletter and every class is using it in their own way. There are children who are already helping other children or grown ups to breathe when they recognise they are stressed or sad."

- James Green, Headmaster, Sebright School
