Physical Health IMPACT of STRESS on the body

Andy Tyas is an experienced educator and long-time meditation practitioner who is passionate about helping young people build confidence and experience an emotional balance. During 23 years of teaching in Pickering, Andy has worked closely with students of all ages and backgrounds, supporting them through both their academic journeys and the everyday challenges that come with growing up. His approach has always combined patience, care, and understanding how important mental well-being is for learning and personal growth. Andy began practicing and sharing guided meditation in 1997, leading hundreds of sessions over the years for anyone who has the desire to participate. His sessions focus on helping people experience peace, through a sense of self esteem and belief that they can tackle the challenges that lie before them. He believes meditation is a simple, accessible tool that can help anyone navigate their thoughts and emotions in a positive way. Outside the classroom and meditation sessions, Andy enjoys music, sports, and staying active in his community. Whether he is coaching, teaching, or guiding a short meditation, his goal is always the same: to help others feel supported, grounded, and empowered to be their best selves.
