FOCUS! STILLNESS! SILENCE …..a teachers dream but what if I can make it a reality?
Imagine if you could get your class to focus like this…
Well, you can.
🌟Everyone’s brain gets distracted - that’s normal.
🌟But what if you used the body to rest the brain?
🌟Here we’re working on a simple balance…
Except it’s not so simple…
Because in every class there’s always someone who wants to muck about.
A balance becomes a signal to wobble, fall over- make a friend laugh, be the class joker.
Not if I’m teaching….no shouting; no threats …… just fun and brain/body connection.
🌟A balance becomes an exercise in willpower, strength and focus.
🌟A moment of self-control, introspection, and calm.
Through clear instructions and subtle movement, we connect the kinetic chain of the body - establishing shoulder/hip connection, igniting the core, and grounding attention.
So much is happening here:
1️⃣ A release in the psoas - calming the nervous system.
2️⃣ Core activation - boosting focus and concentration (think wobble cushions or balance boards).
3️⃣ Vestibular system engagement - helping the brain orient, balance, and reset.
Used as small energy resets throughout the day, these moments can transform your classroom’s energy, focus, and behaviour, while helping children understand how their body works.
