Episode Synopsis
Join Giselle Shardlow, founder of Kids Yoga Stories, and JaTorra Commodore, of Commodore Coaching, as they talk about an interesting topic: "How do we create a successful after-school mindfulness club?" JaTorra shares her story of how she created an after-school mindfulness club after leaving her position as an elementary school teacher after 20 years. With her Wellness Warriors program, she creates a safe place for children to find their calm, connect with themselves and each other, and build a caring community--all through the lens of mindfulness activities. Listen to the interview to hear about their Wellness Toolkits that the children make and take home to bridge that gap between school and home!
