“Thank you so much for your presentation and all the resources you shared. I really enjoyed your session; both the content of your presentation and the way you speak so enthusiastically about your topic!”
“I am calmer and more present than I ever was before. This has greatly impacted my teaching practices. I now find it much easier to keep my stress levels low because I am able to take a breath and really look at a situation before doing anything…I am not letting old stressors trigger me because I am able to take a moment after the stimulus to think clearly before my response rather than just reacting”
“I now practice deep breathing, yoga and mindful listening each day after recess and just before math. I was shocked the first time I tried it as I couldn’t believe that a simple ringing of a singing bowl and breathing three breaths could have such an affect. My learners (half of whom are VERY high energy) were calm and alert for 10 minutes. I know that this method is effective as I am seeing it in action!”
