Yoga - Taking Your Practice Off the Mat and Using It in Practical Situations

Yoga is a practice that is well known for its physical and mental health benefits. It can help students develop SEL skills. Asana (yoga poses) is just one of the eight limbs of yoga. Let's explore all eight! Learn how to harness the power of the breath (pranayama) to calm anxiety in any situation! Dive into the yamas and niyamas to explore and broaden your perspectives -- and experience mindfulness and mindful meditation! In this session we will practice asana, try mindful meditation, and transfer what you learn to situations that take place in everyday life. Whether you are a seasoned yogi or curious beginner, this session will give you the tools and confidence to integrate yoga into PE classes for all ages (K-12). Help your students take everything you do on your mat -- and off your mat -- and use yoga in practical, everyday situations.
