This fun and informative workshop will relax and inspire you while preparing you to share the program with your students. Self-regulation is a critical life skill, essential to success at home, in school and throughout life, can be learned when taught in a developmentally appropriate, engaging way. Sharing yoga and mindfulness techniques, specifically designed for the time and space crunched classroom, is a convenient, engaging, and effective way to promote these skills while cultivating a positive, peaceful productive classroom climate.
Participants will learn to:

• Understand the neuroscience of stress, the symptoms and how it affects learning and behavior.

• Integrate 67 simple, classroom-friendly yoga and mindfulness techniques into your class day to support self- awareness, self-regulation, social and emotional learning and resilience.

• Facilitate learning readiness which can improve student achievement

• Improve classroom management while supporting students' individual needs, cultivating a positive, peaceful, productive classroom climate

• Become a more effective educator as you lead and practice these tools with your students.

Absolutely no yoga experience is required. 

Participants are encouraged to wear regular, comfortable clothing and flat-soled shoes to the workshop as we'll be simulating a classroom experience.
