Hope you are all getting off to a great summer break! I'm offering two great trainings this summer (and fall) for anyone wishing to share yoga with children.
I've posted before about Yoga 4 Classrooms and the 1 day professional development workshop for teachers wishing to incorporate yoga movement breaks, breathing exercises and mindfulness activities into the regular classroom day. This is a great workshop for teachers, classroom aids and paraprofessionals, school therapists, and any other school staff person who might have the opportunity to share yoga in 30 second to 10 or 20-minute increments in a day. There's no moving desks, removing shoes, or yoga class period required to reap the benefits of yoga and mindfulness for your students.
If you do have the opportunity to share yoga in longer blocks of time or away from a tables-and-chairs setting, the full weekend ChildLight Yoga Teacher Training might be right for you. If you teach after school programming, summer camps, or physical education, definitely check out the full weekend workshop. The basic ChildLight training includes quite a bit of the Yoga 4 Classrooms material and a lot more - games, activities, songs, etc. Also, if you teach preschool or preK and have the opportunity to do movement breaks on a reading rug, that workshop is more matched to your teaching environment and will provide ideas for incorporating yoga INTO your lessons.
If you have any questions about the best training for you, please get in touch. I'm happy to chat.

Scheduling fall Yoga 4 Classroom workshops now!
Both of my currently scheduled workshops are on a Friday because the feedback I was given from quite a few teachers is that they'd rather take a day off than loose a weekend day. Drop me a note if you want me to tell you when I schedule a Saturday or Sunday workshop. I'm settling other dates and times for fall now and know that the workshop in Frederick, MD (about an hour away) will be on a Sunday, for example.
I can also offer Yoga 4 Classrooms as an onsite professional development day for your entire school staff (and only your school) and have one of those scheduled on Capitol Hill this August. Happy to talk further about that possibility.
Other nearby ChildLight Yoga Teacher Trainings
If my weekend in July training doesn't work for you, there another one in Philadelphia just the week before and will be an October one in Harrisonburg. The next DC metro training will likely be January/February. Let me know if you want to be notified when that is scheduled.
Definitely feel free to get in touch about any of this at any time. Have a great summer!
