My Project
By becoming a certified yoga instructor through Breathe for Change, I will significantly enhance my professional skills in integrating mindfulness and movement into my teaching practice. This certification will equip me with advanced techniques in yoga and SEL that I can apply daily in the classroom, fostering a more holistic learning environment.
I will use what I've learned to create wellness classes that support students' mental and physical well-being.
Incorporating yoga and mindfulness practices will help my students develop better focus, emotional regulation, and resilience, which are particularly beneficial for my special needs students. These techniques will provide them with tools to manage stress, enhance their concentration, and improve overall classroom behavior.
My new skills will enable me to support my colleagues by sharing effective SEL strategies and leading wellness initiatives within our school. This professional growth will not only enhance my teaching but also contribute to a more supportive and inclusive school community, ultimately benefiting all students.
