Relaxation and Breathing Techniques for Teachers

Breathing is the most important thing you do in your life and improving the way you breath impacts your physical as well as emotional well being. As educators, the stress of being in the classroom can be greatly reduced when teachers learn how to incorporate deep breathing techniques into their day. Monica Levy’s one hour workshop demonstrates simple methods that help to reduce anxiety, lower blood pressure and provide a sense of well being. Topics covered include-

• How to use the squeeze and breath technique to relax, calm and energize 
• How to use progressive relaxation to release areas of tension 
• How breathing can help relax your voice in the classroom

Teachers can pick and choose the method that works for them and even help their students to learn these valuable skills.
