I started with teaching yoga as a gym unit (and still do) but there is so much more potential for yoga and mindfulness for students and teachers beyond the gymnasium.

Movement and learning are intrinsically linked, it makes learning fun to do and most importantly we learn better. Fascinated by this potential I got a little crazy with dreaming up ways you could teach kids their curriculum with yoga and sharing these tools with teachers.

However, teachers have so much on their plates that to add in another too, no matter how great the tool is often just too much. Reality is many teachers and parents are operating from a state of overwhelm. Balancing so many needs and looking after every one else leaves us depleted.

The key then is to nourish and support the teachers.
