​Yoga For The Whole Child
Wake Up! Relax and Pay Attention


Science shows that a relaxed state of awareness is optimal for receptivity, learning, and problem solving. When children, and adults, attain this state of awareness, they can use it to deal with issues like self-confidence, social skills, emotions, peer pressure, personal growth, and academic success. In this course teachers, parents and other adults will learn easy-to-use strategies to enhance the self-management skills of children in their care. These techniques have been proven to reduce disruptive behavior and even improve test scores. Constructed to help children work independently, the program doesn't require any special clothing, equipment or room set-ups!  Over the last 15 years, these techniques have been field-tested with over 4,000 children in after school and summer programs.
 
The workshop will explore the application of Whole Child Yoga techniques and practices for elementary school children and for the parents, teachers, support staff and after school program providers who work and care for them.  The model of Whole Child Yoga encourages adults to look at children holistically and to meet their needs at any given moment in a variety of situations. No prior yoga experience necessary.
 
The learning objectives are to introduce specific techniques, practices and resources that can help children realize the benefits of self-awareness, self-management, stress reduction, and learning enhancement. This program is designed to:


  • Demonstrate easy to use yoga techniques based on the latest research
  • Teach specific practices to enhance creativity, learning, self-awareness, focus and cooperation
  • Show children and adults in their care how to integrate these into everyday activities
  • Demonstrate ways to use these elements at home, in classrooms and after school programs
  • Encourage children to make conscious choices to improve well-being and confidence
 
At the end of the program, you will:
  • Receive a list of helpful resources 
  • Be able to apply a minimum of 3 techniques with children in a variety of environments.
  • Be able to use the techniques for your own self-care
