A one day workshop focusing on 2 important initiatives:

1. Educators Health and Wellbeing

In a job that can be very stressful as well as physically challenging, Educators often burn out quickly and/or become physically injured. The first part of this training leads Educators through a gentle adult yoga class and short meditation. They are given tools to manage their stress and anxiety levels, as well as their physical health and wellbeing.

2. Learn to weave aspects of kids yoga, breathing, meditation and mindfulness into the classroom on a daily basis

Daily bursts of yoga enhances the children's yoga experience by extending yoga beyond just the weekly classes. Educators are given short yoga sequences, and gain an understanding of how different breathing techniques can be used effectively to manage various forms of child stress, as well as challenging classroom situations.

The training equips educators with ideas for keeping children engaged, calm, interested and focused, and a resource kit, packed with ideas, that can be used at various times across a day.
