"I absolutely loved this course and am using it with the older children too. I love to see their engagement and I find it thrilling that Y6 children choose to come to do this every Wednesday – this demonstrates a genuine enjoyment and a sense of placing importance on their own wellbeing. It is equipping them with vital skills that they can continue to use as they progress into Secondary education."

Breath Star of The Week: Year 6 pupil Teaching Breathwork to Her Class
Ruth Ashworth, a dedicated primary school teacher, has now certified as a School Breathe Breath Coach and has been integrating breathwork into her Year 6 classroom for over a year. Throughout our Breath Coach Training for Children, participants like Ruth gain access to full scripts, guided exercises, and classroom resources, making it easy to introduce breathwork into daily school life.
While teaching in schools, we discovered that children love taking on the role of the breath coach—guiding their peers in breathing exercises with confidence and enthusiasm. This inspired us to create ‘Breath Star of the Week’—a programme where one child leads the class in a breath exercise, building self-confidence, leadership skills, and a deeper understanding of breathwork.
Here, we see a Year 6 pupil proudly leading their class through examples of three of School Breathe’s techniques; Box Breathe, Bee Breathe and Paced Breathing, demonstrating the power of peer-led learning in creating a calmer, more focused classroom environment.
