HEY, teachers, Let's get grounded.
The Embodied Teacher workshop Series
tap into your body wisdom and allow your energy to transform the relationship to your workspace.
view other workshops
Your body can be your anchor.
It's not secret that as teachers we can easily be thrown a curve ball over here, a high-stress situation there. If we aren't practiced in remaining grounded in that moment, we can get sucked into the chaos and rigidity, often making the situation worse.
What it is
Week 1
Monday, October 18
Why embodiment: a deep dive into the science behind the body-mind connection and how embodiment practices can radically change your experience in your workspace
Week 2
Monday, October 25
Application to Leadership: Strategies and practices to become a more embodied leader in your profession
Week 3
Monday, November 1
Application to students: ways to encourage bodyfulness in your students (without it being weird) and reciprocal energy exchange in the classroom.
A 3-week workshop series
Learn to lead with your whole presence and shift the energy of your workspace.
Along with the philosophy of embodiment, you'll learn practical applications, tips, and strategies so that you can live fully into your role as an embodied leader and teacher and watch as your presence shifts the energy of your workspace.
Teacher burn-out is real.
We can't just keep strategizing our way into healthier classroom experiences.
Learn how to set up systems of reciprocity so that your students can learn from your example and contribute to the energetic requirements of the school day!

We use these strategies in our own workspaces
As a high school English teacher and a yoga teacher, I am aware of how my body creates energy in the room. After so many years of practice, I've fine-tuned how to infuse body language and embodiment strategies into my classroom teaching in order to create energetic reciprocity, full engagement, and to keep me from burning out.

It's in your body, baby!
With this workshop series
YOU WILL:
+ teach your students, colleagues, and friends the movement, posture, and embodiment strategies to create healthy, authentic connections beyond words!

Sarah and Jess have a great energy and create a warm and comforting space to explore ideas from the concrete science of breathing to the abstract bodily experience of it. Whether you are stressed out or feeling anxious or you are just looking for another tool for your toolbox, I highly recommend this course to everyone.

Regenerative Education Connection
Embodiment is part of the Regenerative Ed Movement
To be effective, we must first understand and become familiar with the untapped potential of education that goes beyond our thinking brain. To feel empowered and strong is to also be able to stand in our dignity, with the energy that comes from- as is reciprocated by- our bodies.
Once we understand how our bodies mirror and move energy among all living beings, then we can further understand the depth of our relationships, responsibilities, and the deep care that comes with all of it, and when we become healthier, so do our students, colleagues, family, friends, and all of other living beings in our ecosystem.
Get out of your head and into your body.
ATTEND LIVE AND EARN

Embedded in this course are learnings in wellness, emotional intelligence, and leadership, all of which usually fall under the matrix of Continuing Education Units in most districts.
We encourage you to reach out to your district to see if they will accept this as continuing education.
We have found that many schools sponsor their teachers for our trainings. It's worth an ask!
