Teacher Tip Tuesday

As promised, each Tuesday in June will have a tip for you to hopefully make your teaching life or personal life a little easier (#teachertipTuesday). As I write this, we are still in the midst of some pretty hard times. There are protests in the streets of every state in our nation and violence has taken over. Watching the TV news is frightening, we are still expected to stay at home as much as possible, and the threat of coronavirus still looms pretty large.

Of course we should notice what is going on, listen to the feelings of our citizens who have been disenfranchised for far too long, and take action wherever we can to work for a better world. We also need to take care of ourselves. You can't pour from an empty vessel. A car can't run on an empty tank. You get the picture.

Please make sure to carve out some time for yourself each day. As a beginning point, try adding in a little yoga practice first thing in the morning. Do it before breakfast, before turning on the news, before working on plans or lessons or meetings for school. Make it your time for quiet, stretching of body and mind, and gathering strength for the day ahead.

Many yoga studios are currently offering free sessions on YouTube. Easy to search for. Most are free and ask for voluntary donations.

You can also find lots of easy to use yoga support at Rainbow City Learning. Follow this link to check them out.
