Mindfulness and Yoga in education and communities
I invite you to take a deeper breath in. Breathe out with an open mouth, maybe it sounds like the ocean on the shore. Practice this three more times. How do you feel?
Beyond merely a unconscious movement, our breath is a tool that we can use to observe and become mindful in this moment. It can bring self awareness, help us to deal with feelings as they ebb and flow. It is one of the most valuable life skills we can own.
Kids Yoga
At the end of the school yoga classes, I often ask the students to tell me one thing they are grateful for. This is what I often hear.
“I am grateful for Yoga”
Teen Yoga
Can you remember the soundtrack to your teenage years? For me these tunes conjure a time of big emotions, navigating social relationships, questioning, who am I, why, how do I fit into this life?
Yoga provides a safe space to be, learn, to listen to the voice of intuition, to build a positive relationship with the body… to develop self compassion, and bring that empathy into the world.
Teen Focused YOGA - can be offered in schools - in the classroom, (as regular compliment to the SEL and Physical Education programsor brought in as an afterschool activity or “workshop”)Consider in person or virtual learning options to suit the needs of your group. If you are looking for individual support, private sessions can also be arranged.
All sessions are delivered with a trauma informed approach, and inclusivity for all bodies. Participants will learn tools to bring into their daily life to ease anxiety, and negative/stress feedback loop, to build physical strenth and balance and begin to understand the power of their breath, and reclaim/harness their inner resource of ease and balance.
