Professional Development Workshops
Tools for Teachers help our keiki thrive
The Mali'o Foundation is proud to sponsor Professional Development Workshops designed by Yoga Ed., tailored for educators, health professionals, and parents. These workshops provide participants with the tools and techniques to integrate yoga into academic and therapeutic environments, enhancing both teaching and learning experiences.
Empowering our Teachers
These workshops, led by trained educator Julia Murica, are designed to empower educators to lead effective five to fifteen-minute classroom yoga sessions, known as “yoga breaks.” These breaks are invaluable for increasing self-awareness and self-regulation for both students and teachers. By participating in these workshops, our educators learn how to seamlessly incorporate yoga into the classroom, leading to broad physical, cognitive, social, and emotional benefits.
