Yoga and Mindfulness Training
Donation protected
In this hyper-connected, on-line all-the-time culture, it has never been more important to disengage and slow down. Adults have been doing it for years — through yoga and the increasingly popular practice of mindfulness, which is generally described as the state of being attentive to the present moment. A litany of studies has credited yoga and mindfulness with reducing stress, calming nerves and anxiety, increasing focus and even improving efficiency and concentration at work.
You don’t have to be an adult, however, to reap the benefits of mindfulness. Research suggests that teaching children to disconnect though mindfulness meditation, breathing exercises and yoga can help them in the same way it benefits adults. Studies also show that mindfulness can alleviate teen depression and anxiety.
With your help, I would like to embark on a joyful journey with Yoga Child lead teacher, Maureen Heil, and anatomy instructor, Heather Marie Miller. During my four days retreat, I will acquire an in-depth understanding of yoga and mindfulness as related to children, as well as an appreciation of the developmental and behavioral needs of pre-school and elementary children. Upon completion of my Level I training, I will be able to skillfully create and teach thematic yoga and mindfulness classes that are safe, fun, and developmentally tailored for specific age groups within the range of ages three to ten. I would bring these skills back to my school and foster a grounded community.
Since becoming a Lululemon Influencer, I have become more rooted in my yoga practice with the help of the Fishtown Philadelphia community. I want to give my stressed out students the same. With your help, I know it will be possible.
