Cathartic Breathing
Cathartic Breathing (Breathwork), is a powerful deep-breathing process which enables you to relieve stress by releasing stored emotions. It helps relieve both physical and emotional issues. The process involves the breather lying down with their eyes closed and breathing in a particular rhythmic pattern. During this time you are awake, yet in a state of consciousness that enables you to recognize old images and feelings. You then process these images and feelings following the breathing process. Cathartic Breathing is ideal for both children and adults. Once you try it, you'll wonder how you ever got along without it.

Learn: Teaching Academics Kinesthetically
In this highly interactive workshop, we will show you how easy it is to incorporate movement into your current curriculum. Why is this so important? Research, theory, and classroom studies support sustaining or increasing the role of movement in learning. Movement has strong positive cognitive, emotional, social, collaborative, and neurological effects on children. School is far too sedentary. Every classroom subject from language arts to math can and should have movement included in the curriculum. Simply put, kids learn and retain more information when movement is incorporated into their academic day. We will demonstrate several kinesthetic games that are fun for students, simple, and inexpensive to make.
This is typically a 4-5 hour presentation.
All attendees in our 5 hour presentation will have the opportunity to experience more games, and make at least one game that they can use with their students.
