Mindful Moves, Empowered Minds: SEL & Yoga for Student Well-Being

I need funding to enroll in Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training program that will equip me with tools to support student mental health, build community, and promote wellness through movement, breathing, and emotional regulation.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Parks's classroom raised $1,229

My Project

As a passionate educator committed to student wellness, I am seeking support to complete the Breathe For Change Mindfulness, SEL, and Yoga Teacher Training. I am sure that this 200-hour program will equip me with research-based strategies to help students manage stress, build confidence, and develop emotional awareness through breathing, movement, and mindfulness. I plan to embed these practices into daily routines, classroom transitions, and small group supports. By modeling self-care and resilience, I aim to transform our learning environment into one that nurtures the whole child: mind, body, and spirit.
