Sutherland Academy establishes a meditation program at school for the teachers!

Posted : March 04, 2025 Hit : 176

More and more studies confirm that meditation has beneficial effects on mental and physical health and improves learning abilities following even a short meditation.

It is in this context that the Sutherland Academy has developed a conscious active meditation program to be first implemented for its institutes' managers and teachers. This is Phase 1 of the program that we plan to offer our students from September 2014.''We are fortunate to have in our staff of experts a teacher of conscious breathing, Benoit Tremblay, who is a respiratory therapist and trained in massage therapy. He developed his own actualized approachc to bridge the gap between scientific and traditional knowledge in terms of breathing and meditation. He teaches in Canada, France and Switzerland as much in the medical community, alternative and complementary (MAC) medicines, as well as in the artistic or athletic fields. He is therefore highly qualified to guide our teachers who, in turn,
will help our students to maintain or achieve better health and also reduce the stress of the everyday life'' ads Daniel Turcotte, President institutes .

''This strategy is used in several colleges and high schools on the U.S. west coast and in schools scattered around the San Francisco Bay, twice a day, the classroom becomes a place of outer and especially inner peace. As an institute we have the responsibility of providing our teachers, students, graduates and staff with applied knowledge to allow them to be happier. This program responds to this need essential to every human being'' says Turcotte.



''Studies confirm that young college students having meditated on a daily basis during classes have recorded the highest levels of happiness in San Francisco. In addition, many students experience less stress and depression and greater self-esteem than non-participants in this program! School results are also significantly increased compared to those who do not meditate. We will be able to validate this information during 2015, because the Canadian Centre for Research on touch ( CCRT ) will study this approach'', concludes Daniel Turcotte.
