Trauma-Informed Chair Yoga for You & Your Students
Day 1 | Register to Receive the On-Demand Recording!
More than two-thirds of our students will experience at least one traumatic event by age 16, and as educators, we are highly likely to be impacted by burnout, compassion fatigue, and secondary trauma. In this interactive workshop, Breathe For Change’s Founder & CEO, Dr. Ilana Nankin, and Head Trainer, Michelle Cordero, will explore:
✓ What is trauma and why it matters
✓ How to recognize the symptoms of trauma, including the different physical and psychological reactions that children, teens, and adults experience
✓ What is trauma-informed chair yoga, and how it is a valuable tool to support you and your students
✓ How trauma-informed yoga and mindful practices can enhance well-being
✓ LIVE Q&A with Ilana and Michelle to answer all of your questions about sharing trauma-informed chair yoga practices
From this workshop, you will leave equipped to integrate accessible, trauma-informed mindfulness and yoga practices into your daily life and teaching in a safe, supported way… using just the power of your chair!
Backed by Science: The Power of Wellness and SEL in Education
Day 2 | Register to Receive the On-Demand Recording!
Dive into the science of wellness and SEL in education. In this workshop, Dr. Ilana Nankin and Michael Fenchel, Breathe For Change founders, will explore the evidence-based benefits of integrating mind-body wellness and social-emotional learning practices into schools, including its impacts on:
+ Neuroscience – The Brain and Nervous System
+ Children’s development
+ Positive psychology
+ Trauma, including polyvagal theory
Together, we will discuss the latest research behind time-honored practices on today’s student and educator, including its effects on stress, burnout, and mental health.
You will complete this workshop with an understanding of the science and research behind yoga, mindfulness, wellness, and social-emotional learning for educators, students, and school communities.
