Discover how the gentle art of trauma-informed yoga can impact our approach to mental health and education. Join me and my inspiring guest, Kim Louria, from Roots, Nature and Leadership Academy, as we unpack the profound effects this practice can have on alleviating the impact of trauma on learning. You'll hear heartfelt stories and gain expert insights into how incorporating yoga into school curricula can foster a nurturing environment for personal growth, improved focus, and a re-engaged thinking brain essential for academic success.
The journey through yoga's transformative power doesn't end with the students—it's a voyage that equally touches the lives of educators and parents. I open up about the challenges and triumphs of personal growth, sharing my own yoga hurdles and how they've shaped my philosophy on teaching and persistence. Learn how tailored yoga sessions can create spaces of patience and reflection, helping children to develop and embrace a growth mindset—a gift that lasts far beyond the classroom walls.
Wrapping up our conversation, we explore the practical application of techniques like flower breath and storytelling in yoga, designed to engage students and teach them invaluable emotional regulation skills. These methods aren't just about mastering poses; they're about nurturing a regulated nervous system that can have a profound ripple effect on a child's academic journey. As we share strategies and stories, consider how the integration of trauma-informed yoga could transform the well-being of students in your local schools and within your family life.
