What teachers are saying about Yoga 4 Kids innovative workshops
|
‘I wanted to tell you how much of a difference your course has made with my teaching. The kids actually listen and really benefit now!! My kids also LOVE all the songs.’
‘I am using some of your yoga techniques from the Yoga 4 Kids course and it is being received with an unbelievable response. Kids and teachers/parents are coming alive and radiating positive energy.’ ‘I will definitely be using things I learned today in my literacy work and as a faculty of Early Childhood Education’. ‘I didn’t realize how much this workshop would apply to my music classes as well as my Physical Education classes.’ ‘Lots of ideas for how to keep children active, healthy and disciplined.’ |
‘Practical ideas for our staff and students across several areas of the curriculum.’
‘Great use of imagination, just what kids need and love.’ ‘Incredible activities. Lots of inspiration.’ ‘The workshop was rich in creative ideas. Your respect and love for children come through. You are an exceptional teacher.’ ‘This workshop exceeded all my expectations.’ ‘I just wanted to thank you for a fantastic weekend of learning and re-consideration. I run a yoga group at school twice a week & yesterday was my first class following the training. I had such a successful class integrating my learning within our group. The children were so responsive to a little more structured program…..When the expectations for children are set high they will rise to meet it (that’s been my experience anyway).’ |
