Students are happiest when they are inspiring & learning from one another 🤸 🤸 🤸

As we move into the final weeks of summer, I am so excited to see what new breakthroughs kids make
☀️ ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ ☀️ ☀️

Teachers are vital to fostering the learning environment and they care SO deeply about each students growth
💗 💗 💗 💗 💗 💗

Sharing insights helps us all create a powerful, holistic learning atmosphere for which I am so grateful to be a part of
🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏 🙏

We encourage every child to begin as curious students & become responsible leaders & are seeing the fruition of this effort - My heart is so happy!

Enjoy learning &
Give yourself grace

Every week we practice fun skills, yoga poses & breathing techniques in class, but we are learning so much more

It is the way we guide students through a frustrating moment that matters most

Challenges are a part of life

When we are challenged, we have the opportunity to grow

In that frustrating moment, we have the opportunity to pause and notice what lesson is being presented

I have noticed kids really embracing this lesson in class

They are viewing challenges in a positive way that empowers them & their friends towards growth 🙌🧡👏🤩

Being present in the moment

Tapping can be a simple way kids can calm their busy mind

🏹 Start at the top of head
🏹 move to the eyebrows / temples / cheeks / chin
🏹 then to collarbone / heart

Encouraging kids to notice what works best for them

So many calming techniques
& so many ways to apply them

So many different kids
with different individual styles
and needs and preferences

Encouraging these kiddos to get and stay curious about their needs now so it just becomes natural as they grow!

Kids are naturally kind, empathetic and helpful
🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍
We just need to give them opportunities to connect

No matter what kind of day we might be having, allowing our minds settle, even for a moment, gifts us the ability to reset

The practice of Cultivating Awareness involves checking in with ourselves, recognizing how we are feeling and choosing an activity that honors what our mind and body needs in the moment.

This is one of the most important skills to practice as it is the basis for self-care & so empowering.

When we provide various opportunities, kids are empowered to make choices that best serve them. We might direct our energy in ways that are physically demanding like a handstand or something relaxing and restorative like grabbing a meditation bottle and resting our legs up the wall.

🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

We all have different needs and our moods shift so the goal is for each child to come to know themselves and honor their unique nature through this practice.

It’s amazing what these kiddos remember & how proud they are when they make that connection!
