Yoga 4 Schools Staff & Students

“Education is not the amassing of information and its purpose is not mere career hunting. It is a means of developing a fully integrated personality and enabling one to grow effectively into the likeness of the ideal that one has set before oneself. Education is a drawing out from within of the highest and best qualities inherent in the individual. It is training in the art of living.” —Swami Satyananda Saraswati It is my hope to see more students on the Sunshine Coast experiencing the benefits of Yoga. Successful learning requires students to be energized, yet relaxed. Yoga can be a great tool to achieve this balance. Its practice creates a positive learning environment for students and teachers, increases student performance, and improves classroom management. Yoga offers  new  learning  possibilities to a wider group of students than  traditional sports or fitness curriculum, making it a valuable addition to any educational program. Additionally,adding yoga to a school's curriculum will help provide a quality physical education program as a modification of traditional physical education My  yoga, health and wellness programs can empower teachers and enable students to improve their concentration, coordination, and self-monitoring.  Below is a list of some classes I can offer:     Yoga for Children for integration into PE or Health Education      Yoga and Mediation for stress, anixiety and behaviour management   Yoga for improving acaedemic performance;gain concentration and focus skills.    Meditation for enhanced concentration        Yoga Workshops for Teachers    Yoga for Staff Wellness  I am a qualified Childrens and Adults Yoga Teacher, a Qualified School teacher with current  QCT registration, holder of a current Blue Card and Senior First Aid certificate.

I believe that it's so important for teaching staff to take care of themselves. Our  yoga and meditation instructors offer programs for teaching staff that can significantly reduce stress, enhance motivation and inspiration and help overall wellness. A regular yoga and meditation practice can provide  the tools to drive your life and career to a destination other than burn-out. Ask me about our 6, 8 and 10 week programs specifically designed for teaching staff.  "Yoga for Kids was an excellent component of Tuesday afternoon Infant Sports introduced at Sunshine Coast Grammar School in Term 3 of 2013. Fifty-three students in Years 1-3 participated in the program over 10 weeks for an hour in the afternoons. It was a great way for students to get a taste of yoga appropriately aimed at their age level. The room was filled with lots of love, laughter and learning and the children would often come up to me and discuss what they might be doing the following week. As well as teaching the children skills in yoga poses, breathing techniques and meditation I could see the benefits in hand-eye coordination, gross motor skills, balance and perceptual motor skills. I would highly recommend Natasha’s Yoga program to other schools or children." Josh Christie Year 1 Teacher Sunshine Coast Grammar School
