Yoga for Confident Middle Schoolers guides learners through themed yoga classes to help cultivate the learner's sense of inner strength and confidence. Yoga helps kids develop fantastic physical, emotional and mental resources to take on the world! Through breath work, yoga postures and relaxation, they will learn tools to balance stress and thrive through life's changes- all while improving physicality and coordination! Each class us designed to meet a National PE Standard and a Social-Emotional Learning Standard (CASEL). Each week explores a different concept. 1. Week of June 21: Decision Making 2. Week of June 28: Self-Talk 3. Week of July 5: Emotional Regulation 4. Week of July 12: Flexibility Every class includes a time-in breathing exercise, short student-centered discussion relevant to the week's theme, a guided yoga sequence, a yoga game or partner activity, relaxation, and a short written homework assignment to encourage learners to incorporate their discoveries into their daily life. Learners will need to have their cameras on for the first 5-10 minutes of class (time in and discussion). They may choose to turn their cameras off for the rest of class, but please be aware I am unable to offer specific guidance and feedback (including safety) to students I cannot see.

SAFETY DOs & EQUIPMENT
- DO make sure students have an open space to practice yoga, away from furniture and sharp edges/objects.
- DO take class in a quiet environment to allow the learner to focus on safety instructions.
- DO bring a water bottle to class.
- DO wear flexible clothing, that stays in place as you move through all the yoga postures. No jeans/dresses/skirts or overly baggy clothes, please.
- DO come to class barefoot. This means no socks!
- DO practice yoga on a hardwood floor, carpet or non-moving rug.
- DO bring a yoga mat, or a towel to class.
- If you do not have a yoga mat, DO bring 4 small objects of your choosing (books, smooth rocks, stuffed animals, etc) or masking tape to mark the size and shape of a yoga mat (5.5'x2') on the floor.
PLEASE BE AWARE:
- It is possible for students to injure themselves during yoga by extending/pushing too far, or by slipping and falling.
- Students with asthma or migraines may experience symptoms with certain breathing exercises or inversion postures, respectively. For the purposes of this class, breathing exercises are brief, and inversions are brief or infrequent.
- It is my job as the instructor to help students identify their limits, learn about safe movement, and NOT push past those limits to the point of injury. If you know this is challenging for your learner, additional safety guidance from you is appreciated.
- I am happy to discuss any health questions or concerns prior to class.

I am a Certified Children's Yoga Teacher. I teach from a brain-based and trauma-informed perspective to help support my students, across varying backgrounds and life experiences. I teach yoga as a secular mindfulness and movement practice, and not as a spirituality or philosophy- I strive to make all learners feel welcome! You can learn more at my website, BraveOneYoga.com
