Learners' Own Words

"I feel like I can start implementing some of these techniques right away. I appreciate being able to have an immediate 'take away' to help me with my work."

"This was an amazing training! I learned the purpose behind every move and have so many things that I can try in my classroom tomorrow!"

"Actually going through the relaxation methods was super helpful!"

Your Training Description

Because youth experience a lot of stress, it is imperative that you introduce techniques that build resiliency and help them navigate difficult times. Learn practical interventions to assist youth with self-regulation, focus, de-escalation, community connection and overall well-being. Understanding neuroscience and the impact of stress will help you recognize signs of trauma and intervene effectively with mind-body practices. You will practice regulating movement, breath work, relaxation techniques and social emotional activities to help youth build connection and a sense of safety in their body.

Your Learning Objectives

  • Identify the impact of trauma/stress on the nervous system and how to intervene using mind-body practices
  • Understand the role of yoga-based movement, breath work and relaxation techniques in regaining a sense of safety and stability in the body
  • Be able to recognize signs of trauma and how to intervene effectively using a mind-body approach
  • Gain an understanding of how mindfulness and yoga-based activities and techniques impact youth emotionally, physically, and mentally
