Trying to get over the mid-week hump? Reset and reconnect with yourself, other teacher candidates, and educators during Wellness Wednesdays. Find relief from the busy-ness and burn-out of teaching and learning.
During this short, weekly session, experience a 20-25-minute guided iRest® Yoga Nidra Meditation, along with chair Yoga or mindfulness techniques. There will be some time afterwards, if you would like to share or debrief about your experience.
Also, don't worry if you can't make it to a session. The sessions are recorded and additional resources will be shared, so you may feel supported as you continue the practices and integrate the teachings in everyday life.
[*Participants are asked: to dress comfortably, to settle onto supportive surfaces or a stable chair, to prepare any other supports (e.g. cushions, blankets, essential oils, or an eye pillow), and to maintain a safe setting for all by arriving punctually and staying until the meditation is complete.]
