Wellbeing for School Staff: Mindfulness & Practical Yoga
This course has a focus on the educators, to keep them in a strong state to continue being able to teach and positively influence their students. This is the time to take a break and recharge, to focus on one’s own health. We cannot give from an empty glass, so we need to make sure we are constantly filling up. Strategies indicated to implement in the classroom as well.
