Helping Kids Self-Regulate Through Yoga with James Woods Yogaland Podcast
-
- Health & Fitness
My guest on this episode of Yogaland is therapist and yoga teacher, James Woods. About 10 years ago, in his work a therapist in the juvenile justice system, foster care system, and mental health system, James felt like he was not able to make an impact the way he'd hoped.
When he discovered yoga, he felt like he found himself and his purpose -- and he decided to bring it to the kids and teachers in his community.
On this episode, we talk about how yoga was the perfect adjunct to James' training as a therapist, the importance of teaching kids self-regulation, and how essential it is to feel a sense of belonging.
James also shares a very wise(and crucial!) approach to take if you'd like to teach yoga in schools.
