Teachers facing higher testing demands are under pressure
to both educate students and to keep them focused throughout
the learning and testing process. Ask any teacher,
administrator, or parent and they'll tell you that this is no
small task. Enter Yoga ed. ' Tools for Teachers',
professional development workshops. Use these tools and
receive the benefits for yourself as well as the children you
teach. Our health/wellness programs and materials for
teachers, children and parents utilize the physiological,
emotional and educational benefits of yoga poses, breathing
techniques, kinesthetic play and visualizations to improve
concentration, coordination, self-monitoring and the ability
to relax in the classroom. They de-stress the teacher, create a positive learning
environment, increase student performance, and improve class
management.
The program speaks to multiple intelligences by combining
traditional yoga themes and methods with imaginative play, art
activities, reflection, journal writing, and cross curricular
subject integration. In these workshops instruction is
provided in Yoga ed. philosophy and approach.
Constructive feedback and advice is offered on structure, flow
, timing, safety, behavior management and other components of
using the tools successfully. Through lecture, demonstration,
discussion, and hands-on teaching practice, |
create fun and effective
2 to 15 minute yoga segments to integrate in the lesson
plans (when needed)
