How Yoga Ed. Benefits Education Degree Candidates
We equip university students with tools to support the health, wellness, and success of their future students. Our interdisciplinary, evidence-based Institutes will provide your students with an experiential foundation in yoga education. Your students will learn comprehensive and practical tools to enhance their teaching, as well as to improve the outcomes of the children and teens they’ll teach.
As Education students learn to integrate yoga into the classroom, they will also learn to embody the emotional intelligence, resilience, and self-regulation skills that will help make them leaders in education as they enter the job market.
