In an effort to support my school’s trauma responsive initiative, I am using my experience and certification as a yoga teacher to cultivate opportunities to lead students and staff through mindful activities such as yoga and mediation. I truly believe, as research shows, that this will help children and adults to cope with the stressors in their lives, making them better students, teachers, and citizens. In order to teach yoga to our students and staff, we will need yoga mats and equipment. Mindfulness has been shown to help individuals mentally recover from effects of trauma (a fight or flight mode) and can increase: the ability to empathize, creativity, and most importantly learning. The mats are crucial in facilitating the yoga related mindful activities. I plan to expand my services as a yoga teacher to other regional schools and community centers.
