Be a teacher who values the health and wellbeing of your students (and yourself)
Created by teachers for teachers, A Karma Classroom has been designed to empower and support teachers in their multiple roles of educator, mediator and mentor.
Research shows that weaving just minutes of Yoga (mindful movement), Breath and Mindfulness into every school day helps our children establish a health and wellbeing foundation - Tools for Life. Each day they gather resources to help navigate their way through our fast-changing and unpredictable world, and to support them living positive, content and thriving lives.
We believe early intervention is key.
We seek to inspire and support fundamental changes in the health and wellbeing practices within early childhood and primary classrooms.
Training and supporting Principals, Early Childhood Managers and their staff is pivotal to our work.
Learn how yoga and mindfulness supports the myriad of mental health challenges faced by teachers and students.
Public Workshops for Teachers
A Karma Classroom is a 5-hour workshop (delivered Live online or face-to-face) for early childhood and primary school teachers, counselors, therapists and other professionals working with children.
The workshop teaches you how to easily weave short bursts of movement, breathing and mindfulness into the classroom each day to nurture creative, conscious and compassionate citizens of the classroom
Custom Programs for Schools
A ‘whole school’ approach where the entire staff (including Admin) in your school or centre complete A Karma Classroom course.
Once completed, there is an option to continue to work with us. We design an individualized program to meet your school’s specific needs and work closely with the school/childcare centre and a selected group of ‘champion teachers’ to ensure the on-going success of the program.
