Kelly Wood: Calm Breathing Calm Hearts, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Blurb

Yoga mindfulness methods, different from what is commonly assumed, transform classroom learning by developing the well-being of teachers, as well as the positive attitudes of students.

If students are unable to pay attention, how can they achieve academic success? Even if students manage to focus, is that enough for optimal learning, or is a particular feeling state needed? Do they know that managing emotions proactively instead of reactively helps them in school and life? Are they aware they have the power to feel, think, and learn better?

These challenges are not unique to students. Kelly Wood asserts that learning can be improved at any age with tools that foster emotional balance, focus, and greater empathetic awareness. These tools are the cornerstone of Wood's innovative yoga mindfulness program, specifically designed for public schools. Wood's unique perspective challenges us to rethink our perception of yoga. She clarifies that her approach is not about mastering complex poses, but rather about nurturing and refreshing an inclusive, peaceful mindset.

This book inspires educators to rejuvenate and reinforce peaceful habits within themselves through SCHOOL Yoga & Mindfulness methods and share these practices with their students. By doing so, they can significantly influence classroom learning and culture. Furthermore, Calm Breathing Calm Hearts details why and how to develop social and emotional learning skills for prosocial changes in our schools, homes, and world. Wood's extensive experience underscores the fact that young people are looking to us, the adults, to equip them with the tools needed for more compassionate communities.
