The Training
Session 1: Living Your Purpose. Get out of "counting down the days" mindset and rekindle your passion and purpose for teaching. Yes, there are X number of days until vacation and X number of years until you retire, but what are you going to do with those days and years? Can you be your best, most treasured self each and every moment? Bring your expertise into the world fully and completely with yoga, writing and relaxation exercises because your voice matters.
Session 2: The Wisdom of a "Beginner's Mind." Have you ever marveled at the wisdom that appears to come from nowhere from one of your students? Sometimes they surprise us with new ways of thinking, connecting, and learning. Adopted from this yogic concept: discover the joy and insight that comes from being a "beginner" instead of an expert.
Session 3: No More Stress! Learn the Writing Yoga® way to remove your emotions from stressful situations. Includes yoga poses, writing prompts, and a guided visualization for calming the body and mind that you can use when needed during your day.
Session 4: The Educator as Compassionate Warrior. Of course you are a warrior. You would advocate for any child in your class. It can be a challenge to feel both fierce and nurturing, but we need both aspects to excel as a teacher and in life. This special warrior sequence of yoga poses, writing prompts and meditation will empower you to honor the warrior within.
Session 5: Absent-minded Professor No More! A lack of focus can prevent even the most brilliant educator from achieving her goals. Learn the Writing Yoga® way to improve your focus. Includes yoga poses, writing prompts, and a guided meditation that will help you to calm your mind and center the body so you can focus on any important project or task.
Session 6: The Power of Happiness. The scientific evidence in support of the importance of happiness to a healthy and productive life is so impressive that universities including Yale university are teaching it too. Learn the Writing Yoga® way to happiness with journal writing, yoga and meditative practices. Make this the most joyful school year yet!
