This book was well written, informative and easy to read. Lots of helpful tips and mindfulness exercises.

Very interesting in depth look at Mindfulness from the perspective of wanting to teach rather than how being a self help guide to start practising it.

An ideal book for teaching mindfulness which i will be putting to good use with the children that i teach . Great tips

I am not a mindulness teacher, only a practitioner. I used this book to analyze the effectiveness of my teacher and then I discussed the book content with her. I think it is a good book, where the mastery of the subject is evident. Many books are published nowadays on mindfulness and meditation, but precious few on how to teach meditation. This alone makes this text worth a careful read.

Evaluation posted with several other books:
Mindfulness – being fully in the present moment – is a topic which also stretches across the fields of business and education. THE MINDFULNESS TEACHING GUIDE by Rob Brandsma (from New Harbinger) is intended to help teach mindfulness and offers a series of practical examples and suggestions. Brandsma writes at length about mindfulness teaching as more a way of being versus a way of doing, referring to the important question: "What does this specific learning moment ask from me?" Like Learning to Breathe, Brandsma's work could potentially be adapted to fit with exercises for advisory (homeroom) groups or Kinetic Wellness classes. I have posted on this important and complex topic before and am looking forward to learning more prior to sharing thoughts on mindfulness based stress reduction and resources like these in November at the American Association of School Librarians (AASL) annual conference.

A very detailed, and competent guide on how to teach mindfulness. I would suggest that any life coach, lifestyle blogger, Reiki teacher, or anyone interested in sharing the power of mindfulness and meditation with others, should read this book.
The examples on how to apply the concept of this book are comprehensive and thorough, with dialogue examples, which I really enjoyed. Whether you are new to teaching others or are a veteran teacher, there is plenty to learn from this book.
