Breathe for Change provides a 200-hour yoga certification program for educators. Their core belief is that educational transformation starts with teacher wellness. When teachers are happy, students are happy. When teachers are stressed, students are stressed. There has never been a more stressful time to teach; therefore, by investing in my personal wellness, I will be equipped to handle the unique challenges of this environment. It is clear that students benefit when adults are trained to create trauma-sensitive, inclusive classrooms, which address their social-emotional needs. Research shows that yoga and mindfulness instruction leads to more learning and less disruption. I am excited about the personal benefits I will gain from this program, and I intend to be transformed as an educator. As a result of this program, I will be equipped to be a leader of social-emotional learning in my classroom and my school community.
