SOFTLY SHAPING THE WORLD

AN EDUCATOR TRAINING 

Educator Yoga + Mindfulness Program —

Practical, meaningful, and genuinely life-changing — for you and every child in your care.

A 9-Week Program for Early Learning Centres (ELCs)

Purpose - the why?

Each participating centre sends one or more educators to be trained as their in-house Yoga + Mindfulness Program Lead. That educator then designs, delivers, and sustains a mindfulness/yoga program at their own centre.

Framework

  1. Personal practice — the educator's own yoga/mindfulness practice and regulation

  2. Program design — writing a program that maps to the EYLF outcomes

  3. Practice teaching — delivering and refining the program live, in their own centre, with feedback

Key Learnings

  1. Sustain a personal yoga and mindfulness practice that supports your own regulation and models it for children.

  2. Explain how mindfulness and yoga practices connect to EYLF Learning Outcomes and Principles, and articulate this to colleagues and families.

  3. Write a structured program document for your centre using our method which will track progression, resources, and assessment/observation notes.

  4. Deliver sessions with young children, using and refining a feedback loop from real practice teaching.

  5. Champion and sustain the program at their centre beyond the training.
