3 Day Workshop

July 25th, 26th & 27th

My name is Kim Hogan and I’ve been teaching kindergarten for 16 years and teaching mindfulness and yoga classes for grades K-5 for 10 years. I’m certified to teach children’s yoga and adult yoga. I’m passionate about incorporating many of the tools I’ve learned through my yoga teacher training and research into my daily classroom routines. I’ve noticed huge changes in myself and my students. Each day we practice breathing strategies, affirmations, and yoga in order to help prepare the students to deal with their emotions. We talk about our feelings and discuss strategies we can use to handle different emotions. I’ve created all sorts of visuals for the students, weekly breathing strategies and affirmations, and a specific
time in our day for yoga. We also have a calm corner where students can go if they need time to take a moment away from the class to regroup, name their feeling, and choose a way to calm down in order to return to the group. I believe in the need for educators to place importance on the social and emotional needs of their students. I want to share my strategies with other
educators or parents who are looking for tools to help make their classroom or home become a more peaceful place. The workshop will focus on learning ways to teach children breathing strategies, affirmations, gratitude, yoga, and mindfulness.
