Presentation Description:  

Sno Yoga introduces the effective work of Mindfulness, Art and Yoga; otherwise known as M.A.Y. Students receive a fun and non-judgmental way of teaching surrounded by a positive and safe environment. These methods concentrate on the cultivation of young individual’s creativity, train of thought process and successful experiences.

Participants will learn how:

• Mindfulness changes the way students’ brain functions, provides tools to reflect instead of react and lessen test-taking anxiety
• Art can encourage students to become risk-takers, calm their minds and cultivate their creativity
• Yoga increases a student’s self esteem, supports collaboration, teaches compassion and acceptance

The workshop will have interactive experiences where teachers will participate in shorten versions of M.A.Y. classes in conjunction with information and discussions. Teachers and administrators will have a toolbox of activities they can easily implement in their classroom or school.
