My Project

With the ever-changing motion of our world, social-emotional learning and yoga/meditation practices are becoming more important for a well-rounded education. Studies have shown that students participating in school curriculum that focuses on emotional intelligence have lower delinquency rates, lower arrests, and lower uses of health and mental health services. These same studies show that academic skills, while still very important for future success, have less of an impact on crime and delinquency rates. Bringing wellness and yoga into the school community will give our students a well-rounded education and sense of self.

Learning wellness tools like mindfulness and yoga empower students to love, take care of, and advocate for themselves.

These tools help our students cope with the trauma that accompanies growing up in poverty.

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.
