My teaching has a heavy emphasis on social emotional well-being, and as a trained and certified wellness champion and 200-hour registered yoga teacher, I am hoping to share some amazing skills with the educators and students within my school site once we return to on-campus learning. These supplies will help allow for more opportunities for students and teachers to explore yoga and mindfulness activities together without the barrier of lacking supplies. Research shows that students perform better when their teachers have a strong sense of well-being. Research also proves that mindfulness and yoga increase academic performance, as well as serve as important community building exercises. Help me bring wellness to the forefront of educational spaces, right where it belongs!
