Amid these challenges, how can we as educators and families ensure engagement, connection and quality learning within the students under our care?

We’re here to share what we’ve learned with you. In this month’s toolkit, you will:

Understand the imbalances in the mind-body that may happen during distance learning,

Identify when you and your students may be experiencing overstimulation of mental/cognitive domain and under-stimulation of physical, emotional and social domains, and

Learn 8 accessible yoga and mindfulness tools to feel connected and engaged during distance learning.
