Mindful Transitions for Calm Classrooms

Do your students struggle with transitions, self regulation or challenging emotions? Join Jennie Abbot, Founder and Director of Harmony Kids Yoga in this interactive course on how to use Mindful transitions to support students of all ages and create your own calm   classroom. This dynamic course is designed to offer Educators the knowledge, skills and tools to support their students and to create a calm classroom using mindfulness for kids. Learn a variety of transition techniques to support children throughout the day in a variety of ways such as in the lineup, coming inside after outdoor activities or during an excessively high energy or emotional time. Children’s Mindfulness helps to develop essential tools such as self-awareness, improved confidence, self-regulation skills, and self-advocacy. These tools are gifts that can transform the lives of the children that receive them.
