Professional Development
Yoga and mindfulness workshops for educators, clinicians, therapists and anyone who works with kids. Develop tangible skills to help students reduce stress and increase their energy and awareness.
Teacher stress and burnout are on the rise.
Research shows us that yoga and mindfulness can help cultivate a positive, productive, and supportive classroom climate.
We offer yoga and mindfulness workshops for your staff, virtually, on-site during school hours, after school, and during summer break. Each of our workshops will provide your staff with effective teaching tools for integrating yoga, mindfulness and social-emotional learning into daily classroom life.
Workshops come with a beautifully illustrated handouts including yoga pose cards, instructions, good times, and tips for each activity.
We have been doing professional development workshops in public and private school settings since 2014. Our content has improved and deepened, and our commitment to supporting educators supporting students has remained paramount.
