If mindfulness is now being prescribed by GPs for depression, why are we not teaching it in schools? Do watch this amazing TED talk by Richard Burnett - he has a wonderful way of talking about it.

I teach yoga and mindfulness classes in South London, UK (http://www.youruniverseyoga.co.uk). You can find my blog at http://outerinneruniverse.blogspot.co.uk. In my previous life I was a scientist doing research in astronomy.
Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to move this to the 'mindful living section'.
I'm definitely going to check out the book by Thich Nhat Hahn. I have two very small boys, and I would be failing as a parent if I didn't try to nurture mindfulness in my children - that's how I see it anyway.

Sorry, I didn't realise about the Mindful Living section. I now see plenty of previous posts about mindfulness for kids - should've just posted a reply!
