HOW IT WORKS
Why The Empowered Teacher™ Program?
Our 30-hour training helps educators take back their power through yoga-based practices that support nervous system and energy regulation.
Understand the science of stress and burnout
Educators learn how stress affects the nervous system, focus, and energy.
We introduce simple yoga-based practices and coping skills to develop resilience in demanding work environments.
Build practical tools for daily use
Teachers experience short breathing, movement, and mindfulness practices taught by a master yoga teacher and former educator. Use what you learn between classes, during planning periods, and before or after the school day.
Create habits that support long-term resilience
Participants leave feeling empowered, with tools they can continue using to maintain calm, focused, and steady throughout the school year.
Earn 30 Continuing Professional Development Units (CPDU), credits approved by the Illinois State Board of Education.
