 School teachers! Learn how to insert Yoga breaks into your daily classroom schedule.

Yoga teachers! Learn how to teach Yoga in schools and to children in the community.

This certified training  is designed to teach Yoga teachers how to teach Yoga in Schools and in the community and to teach School  teachers how to integrate simple movement and breathing exercises into their daily classroom schedule to:

Strengthen physical and mental well-being
Enhance energy and concentration
Enjoy a calm, content, centred classroom
Create a more enjoyable efficient learning process

Teaching is one of the most essential professions and also one of the most demanding. This training is designed to give teachers movement and breathing techniques to enhance their own energy as they inspire their students to tap into their inner potential and create a harmonious classroom.  

Children love to move. When they sit still too long, they feel tense and it is more difficult for them to learn. By taking time for a few poses and breathing exercises daily, teachers may easily release this tension and create a more effective learning process.

Yoga in Your School presents a series of short “Yoga Breaks” designed for teachers to easily insert into their daily classroom schedule.

Each posture or breathing technique may be practiced in less than three minutes, so that they may be used regularly or as needed, when attention or energy begins to wane.

These short exercise segments may also be combined to create longer sequences for physical education classes, playgrounds and athletics.

This training is designed to inspire teachers to integrate movement and breathing exercises their daily schedule with no additional training.
