Mayuri Gonzalez Presents 'Everyday Strategies for More Joy and Less Struggle, Stress and Anxiety'

From Pelham School District: Pelham Parents are invited to the Middle School library to attend the upcoming SEPTA meeting at 7 pm on Feb. 9 where Mayuri Gonzalez, director of the School Yoga Project for Little Flower Yoga, will share Mindfulness tools that parents can use to help their children.

The workshop, called “Everyday Strategies for More Joy and Less Struggle, Stress and Anxiety,” is designed to provide parents simple strategies for sharing mindfulness and yoga with their children.

“We live in a challenging and intensely stimulating world,” Gonzalez said. “Whether your child is dealing with anxiety, having a hard time sleeping, struggling to maintain focus, overwhelmed by schoolwork, or just could use some self-care and improved overall wellness, these tools can help.”

Gonzalez will help parents gain a greater understanding of how their child’s nervous system, brain and body work together to manage challenges, and help them learn to harness their inner resources so they can thrive.

Thanks to a grant from the Pelham Education Foundation, mindfulness strategies and yoga techniques are now being practiced in special education classes as well as in first and third grade general education classes in all four elementary schools.
