DESCRIPTION:
A calm and focused class starts with the teacher. Our 10-hour yoga & mindfulness trainings are appropriate for educators in all roles. Expect a blended format, consisting of 5-hours of live Zoom discussions and 5-hours of homework assignments including pre-recorded videos, self-care, reading, and reflecting to do at your convenience prior to our meetings. Feel the personal benefits from guided relaxation, mindful movement, breath regulation, and mindful meditation, while you are learning how to implement these practices into your classroom or school setting. Receive a teacher's manual aligned to the Illinois SEL & PE standards to guide you through the classroom implementation process. No yoga or mindfulness experience necessary.

1. CAN I GET CONTINUING EDUCATION CREDIT?
Ten professional clock hours will be issued to Illinois certified educators by the Peoria Regional Office of Education upon completion.
2. DOES THIS TRAINING LEAD TO YOGA CERTIFICATION?
This is an introduction to using yoga & mindfulness strategies in your own classroom or client sessions. It does not lead to certification or qualify you as a staff trainer. To become a fully certified yoga instructor for kids and adults, a 200-hour yoga teacher training program, as well as a 95-hour children's specialty certification program is required.
3. WILL MY SCHOOL DISTRICT REIMBURSE ME?
Many of our participants have received reimbursement from their school districts or have received grants to cover the costs of the training. It doesn’t hurt to ask! This training meets the National Professional Learning Standards by sharing resources to increase educator knowledge base and by focusing on sustained implementation of procedures and practices to promote long-term change. As teachers and students feel calmer and more focused and take more time to relax, Illinois SEL standards will improve as a direct result of social and emotional needs being met. Activities are of a type that will engage participants over a sustained period of time allowing for analysis, discovery, and application as they relate to student learning, social emotional achievement, and well-being.
4. WHAT HAPPENS AFTER I REGISTER?
Angie Swearingian will be in touch via e-mail with more information prior to the training.
