As school districts make plans to reopen their schools in Phases of Safety, they face uncertainty, pressure, and policies based on protecting their staff, teachers, and students so we can get back to the task of teaching and learning.   
Our School Yoga coaches are making plans too -- in order to guide and support school decision makers, with the same goals in mind, but with the understanding of our own 3 "internal" Phases that need to be in place as well.

In this episode we look at the body's 3 Brains -- and why it is a HUGE mistake to ignore them when trying to implement a complex structure such as a School Reopen Plan.

Check out Part 2 next week to get some simple and practical steps that Teachers and Administrators can take to lead each of our three brains to true recovery!

When trauma occurs we know that learning is affected too.
As a classroom teacher or as a School Yoga Coach, you are dedicated to helping kids recover from trauma -- especially our current COVID-19 trauma -- but we also want them to keep learning.

Let's take a look at the Learning Process -- maybe in a brand new way -- so we have a better understanding of WHAT Learning actually is, and how WE can support the Learning process, especially when our students are struggling with a whole new system of learning. 

This is so much ore important than grades and test scores -- this is about RESILIENCE, which is the ultimate outcome of ALL Learning!

Is your school ready to handle the post-traumatic effects of COVID-19?  Or school violence? Or a tornado?

School leaders can do a lot to either help their school organization recover and thrive, or (as often happens) they can unintentionally inhibit post-traumatic recovery. 

School Yoga Coaches are trained to help teachers, students, and school leaders integrate Trauma-Informed practices with Academic and Organizational systems. 

Integrating these systems is essential in order to learn from the experience and make decisions for growth.

Let's talk about the different perspectives we have as classroom teachers and yoga teachers.

How can we integrate the body and the brain to help our students learn with their optimal "thinking" brain?

A School Yoga Coach can offer some quick and simple -- and POWERFUL -- yoga strategies that will help teachers teach and students learn. 

I'll give you a 4 Step strategy you can try today with your own students, kids, or even for yourself.

I'm sure you will agree -- Every School Needs a Yoga Teacher!   Find one for your school here: www.schoolyogacoach.com 

As we face the uncertainty and fear of the global pandemic, Covid 19,  we have an opportunity to create an individual story that will lead to transformation, and to play a part in the collective story of our human family. 

Even more important, we can model for our kids the arc of story so that they, too, can write their own story. 

Who will you become in this new story?
