- Weekend of transformational, interactive, and interdisciplinary activities with your friends, colleagues, and Yogiños Leaders;
- Yoga and mindfulness tools and techniques especially suited for schools that support teachers and education-based professionals with behavior management and their own stress-related challenges, as well as students with focus, stress and anxiety management, problem-solving and decision making, social interactions, and self-esteem

- Modify lessons for various academic disciplines, age groups and school contexts
- Learn, practice and weave multiple languages and intelligences, and other learning strategies and styles, into your yoga for kids class
- Use evidence-based mindfulness and yoga in schools as a means to teach strategies and techniques to empower audiences to disrupt habitual, socially-constructed responses and neural pathways toward responding with clear presence and awareness
