FREE Mindful Yoga Breaks® webinars help teachers, librarians, social workers, therapists, parents, and anyone working with children to bring focus, self-regulation, and fun to the classroom, home, or office while fostering social-emotional learning. In each month’s webinar, you will learn “lifesaver tools” such as breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, yoga poses, yoga & mindfulness games, and relaxation techniques. Participants will leave with 6 new ideas to add to the teaching toolbox that can be used in little breaks (one, five, 10, or 15 minutes) throughout the day. Parents will learn strategies for transitions, calming the escalation of tantrums and letting kids find what works for them to self-regulate.

MYB® Tools to Calm Students

Breathing Exercises

These help students self-regulate when they are feeling their big emotions (anger, stress, fear, anxiety, etc.). They also increase focus and send a signal to the Bulldog Brain to calm down.

Mindfulness

This is the practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgement.

Poses

Build strength and flexibility as well as help to reduce stress, increase compassion, and enhance learning.
