Session chair: Wendy Gorton. Educational consultant (UNITED STATES)

This activity will be held at the rooftop terrace of the Conference Center (Third Floor) from 8:00 to 9:00 AM.

Most of us travelled to be on this beautiful island, and the pressures of presenting and making sure you get to all the sessions you want to can be heavy. Kick off the conference on the right foot by joining Wendy outside on the deck, breathing in the Mediterranean air, for a wellness session? Wendy has practiced yoga for 22 years, and studied teaching yoga to K-12 students in Los Angeles as well as studied in India at Sri Sivananda yoga.

We'll ground ourselves first in breathing (pranayama), set some goals for ourselves at the conference. Then we will go through a series of quintessential asanas or poses that are accessible to most people in the style of ancient hatha yoga that is practiced in a relaxed manner. We'll end with a quiet guided meditation and wrap it all up with connecting back to our research and teaching practice - how does this social-emotional learning philosophy fit into your work? What does the current research say? Participants should come in comfortable clothing - yoga mats will be provided, and each participant will walk away with a yoga card and a copy of their asanas they did in class.
