Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I am requesting a Yoga & Mindfulness Curriculum to expand my toolbox of ways to support the whole child. Yoga has always interested me because it offers not just physical benefits, but, also mental and emotional growth. I hope to continue learning different ways to support our students, especially those who may be navigating through complex emotional landscapes.

Yoga just seems like a magical mix of stretching, deep breathing, and good vibes.

As a social worker, I'm all about finding ways to help students deal with their emotions and connect with each other. Learning about yoga and sharing it with them feels like hitting the jackpot of cool teaching strategies. Imagine if they could bust out a downward dog when they're stressed or chat about their feelings over a calming yoga session. It's not just about getting bendy; it's about giving them tools to handle whatever life throws their way.

Teaching yoga to students sounds like the ultimate win-win. Not only do I get to introduce them to something awesome, but they also get to learn how to chill out, recognize what they're feeling, and maybe even see things from someone else's perspective. It's all about helping them grow into awesome, balanced humans who can handle whatever curveballs come their way. And also provide an alternate lunch time activity.
