Looking for ways to create a calmer, more connected PE environment?

In this episode, I talk with Kristen Santos — a certified yoga instructor and Massachusetts Middle School PE Teacher of the Year — about how yoga can help students self-regulate, focus, and feel more included in your program.

 

We explore:

  • The benefits of yoga beyond flexibility
  • How to align yoga with PE standards
  • Ways yoga builds connection and inclusivity
  • Strategies for integrating yoga without losing movement time
  • Whether you’re new to yoga or ready to expand your toolkit, Kristen shares practical ideas you can start using right away!
