Whole School Professional Development

Bring the benefits of the Karma Classroom program to your whole school or early learning centre. 

 

Whole school professional development

Our NESA, TQI and South Australia Accredited program is a transformational professional development opportunity.

Research shows that when schools and early learning centres take on a ‘whole school’ approach to the Karma Classrooms program, the benefits extend beyond individual classrooms and into the broader school / early learning community.

Training all educators gives everyone the same tools and language to weave Yoga, Breath and Mindfulness into every day. This supports a common approach where teachers collaborate with each other and affect a health and wellbeing change, both within their own classroom and the school as a whole.

Become a school or childcare centre that supports the development of the whole child, nourishes your teachers, creates positive classroom climates and builds a thriving health and wellbeing culture.

I have just completed the Karma Class Course via zoom with Beth! I love how interactive the course is and the Karma Class cards are brilliant prompts that I will use both at home with my own children and at Preschool. Beth shared with us her knowledge within the area of yoga and wellness and it is evident that she is so passionate about helping children and teachers begin and continue their mindfulness journey. I cant wait to implement some of the practices within my teaching.
What an excellent session, some brilliant ideas of how to use breathing and yoga poses in classrooms of all ages to enhance student wellbeing.
This was an amazing practical and scientifically supported approach to implementing mindful practice into our daily practice. I would highly recommended for all educational settings early childhood through to primary school.
Absolutely amazing experience!! Can’t wait to share what I’ve learnt with colleagues and students!

Karma.class was inspiring and informative, providing mindful tools to distress. we all recieved a box of cards to guide us as educators to help build kind, caring brave young people. thankyou.
just attended a session of the Karma Class, is very relaxing after the stretches. It is very useful to teach kids to calm their selves when they are overexcited. Good techniques and skills
A wonderful, calming and hands on workshop which outlined practical ways to incorporate yoga and mindfulness into the classroom. Beth covered the practical ways that the Karma cards can be used with children on a daily basis. I am looking forward to implementing the cards with my preschool children. I thoroughly enjoyed this workshop and felt more calmer afterwards!
I firmly believe that all Educators should get involved in this type of training with "the karma class" understanding the importance of uniting body, breath and mind for a more effective practice creating more meaningful learning environments for today's children. Thanks so much for step by step tips Beth. also the the resources are lovely.
Ahhh big breaths… what an amazing course! If this sparks your attention, just do it. The amount of knowledge I just received and this community I am now apart of is invaluable. I cannot wait to incorporate everything I have learnt and will be learning for my families, my own family and for our children to create healthy habits to carry them through life. I hope every educator will take the time to learn these life skills too.
What a fabulous workshop. Beth is a wonderful facilitator teaching the importance of mindfulness for adults and children. Highly recommended for all those that work with young children.
so much valuable information and not only for children but as educators!!! thank you
Useful to support children in early childhood and school and all areas of your life.
Loved this work shop and I think it is going to make a big difference to the kids I teach
What a wonderfully accessible and thought-out way of working with wellbeing in any classroom! The course presented exercises that are adaptable to different developmental stages. It was great for resetting the classroom culture and caring for teacher wellbeing. I highly recommend it.
Beth was amazing. The Karma Class training provided some great practical tools we can use for our own well-being as educators and to support the children’s emotional well-being and success for life. I would highly recommend this training to all teachers and educators.
