A training offering from Blair Abbass and Jenny Kierstead:
In the wake of the challenging year we have endured, these two training's, with a focus on trauma-sensitive practices, are the perfect remedy to help our students release fear and manage stress.
Below is info about this excellent PD opportunity. The Canadian Yoga in Schools 'Mindfulness for Mental Health' Conference and optional YTT 200hr training is happening this July in Halifax. There is no other training like this in North America as all the programs have been piloted in the Public-School system. Both courses can be taken in person or online and are recorded so they can be viewed anytime of day. Could you please share with staff/anyone who could benefit from these events. Thank you; Jenny Kierstead and Blair Abbass
