Take a Yoga Break

Children love to move – Integrate simple movement and breathing exercises into your daily classroom schedule

Yoga in Your School presents a series of short Yoga breaks designed for teachers to easily insert into their daily classroom schedule. Each posture or breathing technique may be practiced in less than three minutes, so that they may be used regularly or as needed, when attention or energy begins to wane. These short exercise segments may also be combined to create longer sequences for physical education classes, playgrounds, athletics, recreation centers, camps, and dance schools.

This website is designed to:

• Present the book, Yoga in Your School , written by Teressa Asencia and published by Princeton Book Company in June 2006

• Offer teachers additional resources and materials to deepen their knowledge of Yoga to enable them to enhance their own energy as they create a more enjoyable and effective learning process

• Offer training and workshops that teach teachers simple Yoga based stretches and breathing techniques and enhance teachers ability and confidence to teach Yoga in their classroom

New

• A PowerPoint presentation with images and voice designed to make it easy for teachers to begin inserting Yoga breaks into their daily classroom schedule
