SEL Weekly Shout-out Mrs. Stafford’s class doing Yoga during Wednesday SEL time. Deep breathing & yoga is great tool for self-regulation. Yoga helps calm the fight or flight response, and induce the relaxation response, thus helping children calm themselves down and be less reactive in difficult situations.
