As a teacher who maintains long term relationships throughout children's education, I feel an urgent need to learn effective strategies that will help my students learn how to be the best they can be. Learning wellness tools like mindfulness and yoga empower students to take care of and advocate for themselves. These tools will help our students cope with the current trauma that has been so devastating as we have moved to virtual-online learning. This project will help cover the cost of the Breathe For Change training program which will help me build on what I know about mindfulness. This program will also enable me to share the positive change I've experienced with future students, as well as my district as a whole. Breathe for Change is a wellness training program conceived by educators for educators. Upon graduation from Breathe for Change, I will become certified to lead wellness and social-emotional learning programs at my school (both for students and for other educators). Additionally, I will earn a nationally recognized RYT-200 yoga teacher certification. This program enhances the well-being of educators, students, and greater school communities by training educators in meaningful areas of meditation, philosophy, anatomy, social-emotional strategy, and yoga practice.
