Training for Schools in Classroom Yoga and Mindfulness
“It was easy to see how the yoga poses could be carried out in the classroom. Using breathing as a way to help children calm has long been something I have used and it was good to have some additional theory and perspective on why it works.
”
I have developed a two hour training for schools, explaining the science behind Yoga to help teachers understand why and how Yoga works and introducing simple Yoga poses, Mindfulness and breathing practices that teachers can easily use in the classroom, at the desks.
These practices will also be helpful for teachers to reduce their own stress. Recent research has shown that stress levels among teachers could contribute to student stress. It has also been shown that when teachers are stressed, students show lower levels of academic performance and social adjustment.
There is an abundance of research into the positive effects of Yoga on school children as shown below. More can be found under the heading ‘Scientific Evidence’.
The cost for the 2 hour training session is £160 and includes a follow up after 2 or 3 months.
