Shift from teaching in classrooms to teaching online was extremely challenging for some teachers, as the results of our online surveys and polls have shown. For this reason, this teacher training course has been created upon noticing the huge amount of stress teachers are dealing with on daily basis.

Apply Mindfulness & Relax in the Nature

We are taking our classes outdoor, by the sea, next to the river, in the nature. We practice Mindfulness & Yoga, support each other and explain why one might be feeling the way they are feeling. You will learn how to lead a happier, more fulfilled life as well as to release the tension and stress to focus on beauty you already have in your life. In other words, let’s focus on the way we think, we feel, we behave, how life affects us and how we cope with it.
