MIND x MOVE. Super exciting project with @mind.thewaves brining movement and mental wellbeing to local schools in Hong Kong. Last session the kids learnt the foundations of boxing and a few breathwork techniques to help calm the body and mind.
Boxing has countless benefits; improving athleticism, cognitive function and mental wellbeing. During the session students used boxing to increase their heart rate and stress in the body, pushing themselves to their limits. The physical sensation is similar to that of anxiety/panic attacks. We then used breathing techniques to calm the body (heart rate) and mind back to baseline achieving a calm, meditative state. As someone who experienced lots of anxiety and panic attacks at school in Hong Kong, this is an important skill I wish I had growing up. Hong Kong work culture is tough and many students suffer because of it. Giving young people the tools to cope is great but ultimately the culture itself needs to change. 🙏🏼
