Mindful Movement and Calming Strategies for Health and Wellbeing in Schools

This course is designed for individuals who want to learn how to teach yoga and mindfulness breaks to children in the school environment. Throughout this 5-day course teachers will gain the confidence to identify challenging times during your in-person or virtual school day and to learn how to teach yoga, breathing, postures, brain breaks, and relaxation exercises to build connection, engage your students, and shift them into a more learning-ready state of mind. Together, we will explore how to safely and effectively adapt yoga poses to stretch and strengthen the body. Over 5 days you will have ample opportunities to embody and practice teaching mindful practices and yoga tools to improve your and your children’s physical, mental, emotional, and social wellness. The tools shared in this course support learning at home, in classroom environments, and in therapeutic settings. Upon completion of our course, you will be fully equipped with the knowledge and skills to help children improve focus, reduce stress, and regulate behaviour through yoga and mindfulness practices, as well as gaining practical tools for your own wellbeing. No prior yoga experience required. The duration of this course is 20 hours & qualifies for 3 EPV days. This is a face to face course.
