Yoga 4 Classrooms Activity Card Deck
Tools for learning. Lessons for life.
Science has shown and educators have experienced first-hand, that when children are anxious, frustrated or stressed, it is nearly impossible for them to learn. It is only from a relaxed, calm and present state of mind and body that our children can be psychologically and physiologically learning-ready. It is difficult to teach young children mindfulness, but one way to help support children in learning this important milestone is through Yoga.
Yoga 4 Classrooms offers professional development workshops for educators, in-service workshops for school staffs, a classroom residency program, and opportunities for educators, school counselors and school teams to train become IMPLEMENT Leaders in their schools and for yoga teacher educators to train to be Y4C Trainers.
