YOGA FOR STUDENTS | TOOLS FOR TEACHERS | YOGA FOR TEACHERS Yoga for Teachers Some of our partner schools choose to offer on-site yoga classes to their teachers and school staff members before or after regular school hours. This program engages educators in yoga and mindfulness, while also teaching them how to bring these activities into their classrooms. Some schools offer these classes in six- to eight-week sessions; other schools offer them on an ongoing basis. "Practicing (yoga) weekly has changed my outlook on the beginning of the week-I don't dread Mondays as much. I think school staff benefit greatly from having the time to decompress each week. I also enjoy the time we have as a small group with the teacher, Erica, and each other. Sometimes we forget about ourselves because we are dealing with kids, and it's exhausting and unhealthy. I truly appreciate that we have this opportunity to have yoga in such a convenient location." - Teacher, Florence Crittenton "I simply enjoy being able to slow down and breathe and focus on my body and breath and to do this with co-workers creates a different sense of teamwork. It is fabulous that we get to join together to de-stress because the rest of the week is very stressful! And the fact that I don't have to drive anywhere to get to a yoga class on time makes it even less stressful. I love doing yoga where I work!" - Art Therapist, Florence Crittenton
Cost: The cost of on-site yoga classes for classroom teachers and school staff is $60 per class. This fee can be paid by the school or by the participating teachers. |
