Curriculum is developed based on the ages/grade levels of students, using knowledge of child development with relation to social-emotional needs, physical development, and academic expectations (based on MA state standards).
Curriculum includes core yoga components, including breath work, yoga poses, and relaxation. Also included are games, connections to relevant curriculum tailored to what your students are learning, and opportunities for discussion and reflection.
All curriculum is planned through a lens and understanding of trauma. While not all students have experienced trauma, all students benefit from trauma informed language, cues, and considerations. What does this look like? Students are offered a safe space to determine what feels right for their own bodies and to make guided adjustments to their practice as necessary. Students are given opportunities to seek consent through partner poses and group games and to make choices about their participation in these activities. Language used to teach classes is chosen intentionally so as to make all students feel comfortable, welcome, safe, and empowered.
