Who is this training for?

Teachers, staff, administrators, CEA's, everyone! We invite those at all levels and abilities. If you have a restriction, or injury, or just that you have always felt, "I can't do yoga" for some reason...you are in! We welcome all who are interested. The diversity adds to the ability to ultimately support those who you may need to facilitate in the future.

As we say, 'You cannot take someone somewhere you haven't been".

Why take this training?

We need you! It is tough out there, as those involved in education can affirm. First and foremost, you need the best tool kit for self-care. You need to show up to serve those students as best you can. Secondly, we need to pass along those tools to the students. To be able to understand their state of being, and respond in a present, mindful manner, and advise them as to best practices for optimal performance, and physical and mental wellness. All things you will embody!
