After experiencing the life-changing benefits of an established meditation practice, Jane Hutchins became passionate about sharing the practice of meditation with others. She is a graduate of the Meditation Teacher Academy and the Mindfulness@Work Trainer certification at the McLean Meditation Institute in Sedona, Arizona. Jane has also trained with author and meditation teacher, Sarah Wood Vallely, to become a certified child meditation facilitator and mindfulness instructor.
As a conscientious observer of our educational system over the past years, Jane has seen that more and more of our kids (and their teachers) are under great stress. Pressures from school and learning, high expectations in competitive sports, and family challenges have affected the learning process and the overall “happiness” level of our kids. Teachers are burdened with more responsibilities while being paid less money. Our kids and our teachers are burning out. Jane sees teaching meditation to both groups as a positive way to alleviate stress and transcend the stress found in the classroom. She believes that grounded teachers create a positive environment for our students to excel. Calm, centered kids are happier and learn at a higher level. Both affect the future of our world as they transform our culture and the stresses societal norms have created within it.
Jane Hutchins has been a multimedia graphic designer for 30 years, a mom for 20 years, an organizer of spiritual enrichment classes for 14 years, a school volunteer for 15 years, and a perpetual student all her life. Jane is passionate about sharing her knowledge with children, athletes, teachers, businesses and anyone who is wanting to live a happier more fulfilling life. She teaches mindfulness and meditation at Summit Schools in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and works with sports teams to add mindfulness, meditation, positivity, and yoga to their routines.
