Description
Children (and educators) across the country have been dealing with a collective trauma as schools shut down and radically changed their lives.
Returning to school has included fears around getting sick, catching up with missed work from the prior year, changes in routine after a prolonged period at home, rapid transitions between in-person and remote schooling, and coping with the ongoing differences in the school experience needed to keep everyone healthy.
Watch Jennifer Cohen Harper, expert in children’s yoga and mindfulness, as she shows you how using movement, breath-work and mindfulness practices proactively with your students (whether in the classroom or virtually) will:
- Generate a sense of internal safety,
- Build personal power and foster attuned connection,
- Help our students access their resilience, and
- Thrive as they move forward with their learning.
Don’t miss out on practices to reduce overwhelm, soothe the nervous system and manage intrusive thoughts!
