If you work with children or teenagers, you'll know that sitting still is not always an option.

This is where Mindful Movement Brain Breaks can help you change the classroom dynamics and:

• support learning ready states ('lighting up the brain')
• foster social emotional learning
• reduce stress and anxiety
• help with transitions
• regulate behaviour
• and much more

*Held at Murdoch School of Education*

Developed by Australian Teachers with feedback from Australian Schools, this Professional Development Workshop, will empower you with mindfulness and movement practices to support your and your students’ physical, mental, emotional, and social health and wellness. One breath at a time.

We'll learn how to use mindfulness and movement to help growing bodies and minds become resilient, strong and confident.

With lots of practice opportunities during this one-day course, you'll leave this workshop confident to bring breathing, movement and relaxation into your classroom the very next day.

Pre-Requisites:

This workshop is suitable for absolute beginners, all bodies, types and shapes. No experience or additional equipment is needed. You only need a passion for Health and Wellbeing.

FURTHER INFORMATION

Hundreds of teachers have successfully implemented Mindfulness and Movement tools in schools in Australia and New Zealand

• Teachers/Admin staff don't need to have any previous yoga experience.
• No special equipment is needed. You 'only' need breathing bodies.
• Mindful Movement is suitable to all abilities (including those with special needs) and can be held anywhere: in the classroom, in the canteen, on the oval. With 5 children or 100 children.

Teachers/staff will leave the workshop confident and empowered to teach short 'Wellbeing/Mindfulness/Yoga' brain breaks in the classroom where they see fit (used as transition, preparation for testing situations, to set up/finish the day, and more) without adding anything to their (already full) curriculum.
