 Yoga Ed. also offers Tools for Teachers, a Professional Development Program that trains classroom teachers and health professionals to use simple yoga-based mind-body integration strategies for effective stress and behavior and classroom management. Specifically designed to use no extra space or equipment, Yoga Ed. Tools for Teachers consist of 5-15 minute breath and movement sequences, games and visualizations that anyone can do to immediately feel more attentive, energized and relaxed.
