Teacher Training | Professional Development

“I hear and I forget. I see and I remember. I do and I understand” (Confucius)

At YOGAZEIT the core of our trainings and Professional Development is based on evidence-informed Curricular supported by our experience in and feedback from Australian Schools and Communities.

Professional Development | Tools for Teachers

This 1, 2, 4 or 6 HOUR Professional Development workshop empowers participants to effectively utilise 3-15 minute 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.

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.

Our chair yoga workshop is perfect for:

  • Classroom teachers who would like to learn easy-to-use brain breaks with their students
  • Counsellors introducing stress reduction and self-regulation techniques
  • Parents seeking simple mindfulness techniques to share with their kids

No experience necessary. Based on Social Emotional Learning Standards.

As a yoga instructor coming to expand my knowledge in teaching children’s yoga, I was very pleased with the quality of the training. The Yoga Ed.

I would highly recommend the training to school teachers, yoga teachers or anyone with a passion for supporting holistic child development!

Sophie, Teacher

"I have committed to engaging my students in mindfulness and yoga at the start of every lesson, since participating at your Workshop at Murdoch Uni.Not only does it  provide a space for focus and awareness for my students, but it provides me with the space to explore who I am as a teacher.I have been teaching for about 24 years, so I feel like I know when I have found a good thing!  Offering a calm and meditative space for young people to be through the very difficult time of Covid-19 has felt very important. In the last few stressful days of last term, six year 7 students attended my class, four of whom said they hadn’t slept the night before. I led them through a visualisation based on yours where they go through a door. I think you call in “A special Place”. Two of them stayed asleep and one said, “Miss, can we do that every lesson?”. They then drew their happy place."
