I want to start practicing mindfulness with a small group of students. One practice I want to use is yoga. Once a week, during their advisory block, I want to work with 15-20 students on meditation, yoga, breathing strategies, etc in order to help them be able to regulate themselves when the need arises. Many of my students have experienced trauma and this would be a major step forward for them as they start to heal. As the instructor of the class, this will give me different opportunities to create authentic relationships with my students. I truly think this can be life changing for some of them.
