Professional Development 

We offer a number of Professional Learning opportunities for School Teachers and Staff which meet AITSL Standards and are aligned with the Australian School Wellbeing Framework.

YOGA ed. TOOLS for TEACHERS 

Yoga Ed. Tools for Teachers/Brain Breaks in the Classroom is designed for educators, health professionals, and parents.

These fun and interactive workshops empower participants to effectively utilise three to fifteen minute classroom chair yoga sessions, or “yoga breaks,” to increase self-awareness and self-regulation for students and teachers alike.

Participants will also learn the broad physical, cognitive, social, and emotional benefits of integrating breathing exercises, yoga poses, and relaxation into the classroom.

Tailored to the academic environment, all yoga tool activities require no previous yoga experience, extra equipment, or space.

Each Tools for Teachers workshop is customised to meet the unique school culture and specific needs of participants. To facilitate the optimal learning experience given a school’s unique goals, we offer many options for workshop length and pricing.

We’re running this Workshop regularly at Murdoch School of Education – but also offer this Professional Development ONSITE at schools for a more targeted approach to cultivate a Wellbeing practice across all Educators and staff.

• One hour, two hour or four hour workshops available.

All prices include the instruction of one Yoga Ed. Trainer and one digital manual for each participant.
