The way Danielle skillfully inserted somatic practices into practice was extremely helpful. It was so good to see exactly how you can put them into practice while teaching without it being weird.
The program is thoughtfully designed and encourages self awareness of ones thoughts and feelings as we traverse the stressfulness of COVID while teaching students. My biggest takeaway is the belief that the district is actually concerned about teacher welfare; physical and mental.
I enjoyed every component of the program; the pacing, recordings (very beneficial when I couldn’t attend live sessions, the wealth of information, the organization of the website and how things were easy to find, and the opportunity to build community with other colleagues.
Meditation takes practice, and it is about being aware of the moment, not trying to make your mind blank.
