YOGA AND MEDITATION FOR TEACHERS FOCUSED ON KIDS AND TEENS IN FLORENCE (ITALY): CONNECTING WITH OURSELVES.
This is a 6-day Erasmus training course. This is a practical course to initiate students into the world of yoga and meditation. The sessions will be presented as a game with which they can have fun, get to know their body, and control their breathing consciously. Also, it will serve them to connect with their inner self so they will be able to manage them much better.
Description
- Children and teenagers are constantly developing and the changes they experience affect their bodies, minds, and relationships with others. Yoga and meditation help them to grow healthily inside and outside. Practicing yoga and meditation helps us to understand much better who we are, to stay in our center, to seek balance and not to go to extremes. By understanding and feeling good about us we become aware of nature and the environment.
- Children are yogis by nature. They come into the world with a baggage full of particular talents and gifts: agile movement, good posture, presence, curiosity, openness and great capacity to learn and discover new things. Practicing yoga and meditation teach us how to be in the center and how to find balance within ourselves and within our human and environmental community. In this way we get the ecosystem to function properly.
- It is necessary to find a moment in the day when children and teenager can disconnect from their daily tasks, stop for a while
Learning objectives
- We will manage to connect play, relaxation, concentration, and balance as well as allowing them to know themselves and communicate with their environment. We will teach children and teenagers to be more aware of the environment and to be more respectful of it.
- We will also see how it favors their creativity. It has been demonstrated that yoga strengthens body awareness, increases concentration and helps to manage emotion. Furthermore, it promotes a strong, flexible and healthy body; improves body posture; promotes coordination and balance; increases motor skills; and it makes you enjoy it! Great discovery, which helps everyone with the lack of attention, stress and relaxation.
- Through yoga, children will exercise their breathing and they will learn how to relax in order to cope with stress, conflict situations and lack of concentration, problems so evident in today’s society. Yoga will help them on their long journey towards physical and psychological mastery.
