Breathe & Learn is a curriculum-based yoga and mindfulness program for elementary and middle-school children. Our mission is to create a positive and safe environment where students can be self reflective and use yoga and mindfulness as tools to strengthen their emotional intelligence.
The curriculum was designed through the lens of emotional intelligence and yoga, and focuses on four main skills: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness and relationship management. All weekly topics support the development of these four core skills. The first half of the curriculum focuses on the personal competency skills, while the second half addresses the social competency skills.
From the Founder, Joanie Plake...
I started Breathe & Learn to support students social-emotional journeys at school and home. As an elementary school teacher, I observed so many children carrying burdens and stress throughout the day which impacted their ability to learn and fully engage in academic work. While I did my best to incorporate mindfulness practices during the day to help ease some of these feelings, I yearned to have the time and space to offer more.After deepening my own yoga practice through a 200 hour teacher training, I was inspired to create a workshop for kids that offered a full yoga experience paired with thoughtful discussions and self-reflection. Children love moving their bodies into silly poses and are intrigued by breathing exercises and visualizations that help them relax and feel a sense of calmness.
All Breathe & Learn teachers are certified 200 hour yoga teachers and/or elementary school teachers. They've completed the online B&L Facilitator Training and continue professional development to help support their teaching and alignment with the B&L philosophy and values.
