The mindful breath practice Loving Kindness that supports February’s theme of love, is an invitation to give and receive love on many levels. Loving Kindness allows you to feel the breath in relation to your body, and actively notice the benefits of self-compassion as well as what happens when you generate feelings of compassion for a wide constellation of people around you. Many educators come to the profession because of the love they have for children and the educational process. Dedicating intentional time towards noticing feelings of love, compassion, and kindness can help to build and sustain a healthy and happy climate and culture for all members of a school community.

The accompanying yoga practice Sunshine Breathes is a simple but powerful practice to notice the connection of movement to the breath. Practicing Sunshine Breath allows you to share your warmth and love with those around you.
