    6 Days of school left calls for LOTS of deep breathing for teachers! #DojoChat
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:02 PM EDT
    Let’s start by centering ourselves and taking a deep breath. Inhale through the nose, hold, then exhale through the mouth. #dojochat

    A2: Time, testing, data tracking, IEP meetings, the list goes on #dojochat
  • CaitEileen_W May 17 @ 7:13 PM EDT
    A2 Time, isn't it always time!? Never enough time in the day! #dojochat
  • tolleya May 17 @ 7:13 PM EDT
    A2: Time constraints. #DojoChat
  • smithstrws - Moderator May 17 @ 7:13 PM EDT
    A2 Time. We are expected to focus on standards 99.9% of the time. So, fitting it in is sometimes difficult. #DojoChat
  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:13 PM EDT
    A2: Pressure from admin to drill and kill for the test... #dojochat

    Enjoying catching up with the #dojochat tonight! Always a big supporter of @yogafoster along with #mindfulness in the classroom!
  • Reagan_Meyer May 17 @ 7:15 PM EDT
    I agree! Sometimes I think we need to give the students time to relax and move around the room to reduce stress levels. #dojochat

    I agree! It's so difficult to manage time when there are so many standards to cover everyday! #dojochat

    A2: One learning from a teacher in TX: "Put aside two minutes / day, just to get started." Great idea, right?! #dojochat
  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:17 PM EDT
    Ss struggle seeing a benefit and think it's a joke sometimes too. But there are those few that get it. #dojochat
  • JamieSparksCSH May 17 @ 7:17 PM EDT
    A2 The wrong mindset is the biggest barrier. Students need movement throughout their day to have the most success in school! #dojochat

    Whew! Thinking about stress in the classroom makes me stressed. Going to take a moment to breathe before Q3...#dojochat
  • I_teach_Pandas May 17 @ 7:19 PM EDT
    #dojochat This was an issue for me too, The laughter can sometimes reset their bodies. We take #dadjoke breaks for this exact reason.

    Absolutely. #dojochat

    Yoga can help students' physically, mentally and emotionally – from test scores to self-confidence and strength. So for Q3... πŸ‘‡πŸΎ #dojochat
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:21 PM EDT
    Q3: Which benefits are you most looking forward to seeing in your students from this practice? #dojochat
  • bdougyy May 17 @ 7:22 PM EDT
    A3 I want to minimize conflict in my classroom and I think giving them time to settle down and relax really helps younger students #dojochat
  • smithstrws - Moderator May 17 @ 7:22 PM EDT
    A3 I have a few Ss whose "beast" comes out daily. I'd love to see them adopt this practice & be more mindful of their "beast." #DojoChat

    Q3 #dojochat... thoughts?

  • I_teach_Pandas May 17 @ 7:23 PM EDT
    A3: I am excited for Sts to gain awareness of how their bodies react to stress and how the yoga gives them skills to curb that #dojochat
  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:23 PM EDT
    A3: Seeing them start to get worked up about something and then pausing, breathing, and waiting to respond, not react. #dojochat
  • CaitEileen_W May 17 @ 7:23 PM EDT
    A3 I'd love to see students self regulate and recognize when The Beast is emerging and problem solve what to do about it #dojochat
  • bdougyy May 17 @ 7:24 PM EDT
    I agree! When students practice relaxing techniques they will begin to use them on their own to calm themselves down! #dojochat

    In reply to @tolleya
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:28 PM EDT
    A3: We hear you. Stress, emotional awareness, and pausing before responding are all amazing benefits of this practice. #dojochat
  • Profe_RamonRG May 17 @ 7:28 PM EDT
    A3. I love watching how students learn to control and master their emotions. Very important for their present & future. #dojochat

    • TanyaRFreeman May 17 @ 7:24 PM EDT
      Deep breathing when they are feeling anxious, scared, and worried about EOG testing as well as refocusing and finding their happy place
      In reply to @yogafoster
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:29 PM EDT
    A3: Luckily, even a small practice consistently and over time will make those changes happen – but it won't be overnight! #dojochat
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:30 PM EDT
    So a consistent practice fosters the best results. Leading to Q4: How do you think we can we build a mindful classroom? #dojochat

  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:31 PM EDT
    A4: We have to schedule it into our day. At least at first. Even if it's a 2 minute breathing break. Set an alarm if need be. #dojochat
  • I_teach_Pandas May 17 @ 7:32 PM EDT
    A4: Make it part of the schedule, make time to do it every day no matter how behind you are or how busy your day is, make the time #dojochat
  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:32 PM EDT
    A4b: I've been using alarms that display on my screen in the classroom for EVERYTHING! So far, so good. Even the sub loved it. #dojochat
  • tolleya May 17 @ 7:32 PM EDT
    I have an alarm for everything! #DojoChat

  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:33 PM EDT
    A4: Definitely. Also, add it to consistent activities. Breathing in line. One pose before bathroom break. Mindful morning meeting. #dojochat

    I'm just imagining my scary sounding alarm going off to remind me to relax/breathe lol! Hopefully your alarms have a better sound #dojochat
    In reply to @gandalfwho
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:34 PM EDT
    A4: Make the time. Fun fact: Ts GAIN TIME when they pause to practice. Why? Settled Ss = less distraction = more things done. #dojochat
    • I_teach_Pandas May 17 @ 7:32 PM EDT

  • bdougyy May 17 @ 7:34 PM EDT
    A4 I think using relaxing brain breaks is a great way for children to relax between lessons! #dojochat
  • smithstrws - Moderator May 17 @ 7:34 PM EDT
    A4 Like anything else in life, you have to make a conscious effort to do it. And do it consistently. #DojoChat
  • I_teach_Pandas May 17 @ 7:34 PM EDT
    When I was a sub, one teacher I worked with used yoga poses for procedures, tree pose for standing in line, etc. great stuff #dojochat
    • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:33 PM EDT
      A4: Definitely. Also, add it to consistent activities. Breathing in line. One pose before bathroom break. Mindful morning meeting. #dojochat

  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:35 PM EDT
    A4: Yes! (for non YF-ers, yoga breaks are short yoga flows for classroom. No mats needed!) #dojochat
    • TanyaRFreeman May 17 @ 7:32 PM EDT
      Doing those yoga burst and always making suggestion about how to deal with emotions. Taking breaks to physically get up and do yoga poses
      In reply to @yogafoster
  • Reagan_Meyer May 17 @ 7:35 PM EDT
    A4: Make sure to plan for it every day- no matter how long or short! You could have relaxing or upbeat breaks in between lessons! #dojochat
  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:35 PM EDT
    It used to be a Sonic Screwdriver. Works for big transitions, not good for calmer/subtler ones. Windows alarm sounds work well. #dojochat
    In reply to @CaitEileen_W
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:35 PM EDT
    A4: Great point. Yoga, in philosophy, should be practiced consistently, over time and with enthusiasm! #dojochat
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:36 PM EDT
    A4: Tree pose in line makes for a GREAT mindful forest. Listen to the sounds in the forest. How do we contribute to its growth? #dojochat

    A4: Another suggestion? Calming music can completely change the energy level of the classroom. https://t.co/CdM7g850cE #dojochat
  • smithstrws - Moderator May 17 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    I love to play classical music while my students work. Helps them focus! #DojoChat
  • CaitEileen_W May 17 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    I 100% believe in this!!!! HUGE practice in my classroom.#dojochat
  • I_teach_Pandas May 17 @ 7:38 PM EDT
    I use this often, one of my faves is @TimJanis on youtube, he comes out with a new calming 2-3 hr video every other day #dojochat
    In reply to @yogafoster, @TimJanis
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:39 PM EDT
    A4: Also consider creating a chill zone – a space where Ss can pause to breathe, reflect, recollect during the day. #dojochat
  • gandalfwho May 17 @ 7:39 PM EDT
    I've tried music, but Ss always want to choose. White noise - running waterfall/stormy weather has been great though. #dojochat

    THIS calms students, amazing #dojochat https://t.co/1N1nKJ5D65

    It's clear that we all GET why yoga helps in schools, but... Q5: How do you help parents embrace this practice? #dojochat
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:42 PM EDT
    A4: Chill zone in a library area is perfect. Consider adding some yoga flashcards, a yoga burst, and some mindful literature! #dojochat

  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:44 PM EDT
    A5: Exactly, @CaitEllen_W. Yoga is unfamiliar for many Ps (and Ss, and Ts). It's critical to ensure support from Ps from day ZERO. #dojochat

  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:48 PM EDT
    A5: Y'all it's so cool that @ClassDojo has made this easy to share w/ Ps. Be sure to engage them from the outset. #dojochat
  • CaitEileen_W May 17 @ 7:48 PM EDT
    Ugh... @yogafoster how do you deal with this? #dojochat
    In reply to @I_teach_Pandas, @yogafoster
  • yogafoster May 17 @ 7:49 PM EDT
    This happens too. It's a great opportunity to share more info – but always have an opp for Ss to opt-out in situations like these. #dojochat

    A5.3: I changed it to quiet time. I would put on quiet music and the kids could read,rest, breath. The parent was fine after that. #dojochat

    A5: We recommend against changing the name from yoga to "something else" – and instead, stay strong in why the practice helps. #dojochat

    I know, but it did make me consider how to include all my students, even if their parents are not so enthusiastic. #dojochat
