Yoga & Mindfulness in Schools

Do you find yourself asking, “As a children’s yoga teacher, how do I bring what I learned through ChildLight into the schools?” Our Yoga & Mindfulness in Schools training has the answers! Let the creators of ChildLight Education Company and Yoga 4 Classrooms teach you everything we know about bringing yoga and mindfulness education into elementary, middle and high schools.

Become empowered to share your gifts in a variety of school contexts including during or after school enrichment programs, PE classes, health fairs, specials, field day, and the classroom setting. You will learn best practices for contacting schools and gaining support for implementation, adapting your teaching and language for the school environment, ensuring inclusivity, supporting mental health, modifying for space constraints, managing large groups, lesson planning, business tips and tools, practice teaching and much more.

"The Trauma-Informed Yoga and Mindfulness professional development workshop was extremely informative and engaging. The instructor did a wonderful job of balancing sharing content knowledge, discussion, and physical practice. The tools and trauma informed practices presented will be simple to bring back to my classroom and beneficial for the scholars. The workshop provides both specific strategies and a trauma-informed lens to view your current practices through. I highly recommend attending!
