Practical Application for Movement and SEL in the classroom
In this one day workshop, we’ll introduce our core methodologies of mind and body mapping. Team members enjoy a fun and relaxing experience moving, reflecting and getting to know each other, while also taking time for self-care and personal wellness. We can run this workshop in succession in small groups throughout the day to accommodate Covid in-person restrictions.
Sample Schedule: 1-Day Intensive |

Warm up — At the start of each session, we take time to clear our mind and prepare our bodies for movement. Techniques include yoga, tui-na, and meditation |

Body Mapping Games, followed by written reflection — In this section, we explore communication and collaboration through movement games. These exercises challenge participants to explore the role their bodies play in the growth of these skills (what skills?). Written reflections help to encode this learning. |

Choreographic Challenge — Participants create their own movement and teach it to their team members. Movements are then used to create a larger dance. |
