Learning ‘with the body’
A practical way to build a firm foundation for learning, by connecting to one’s self through the inner path as the individual grows, from infant school to university. Mind and body are one. Young people need to be taught exercises, which train the mind to relate with the body through awareness of the five senses.
Weekend 2: Micheline Flak (March)
Emotions in the Classroom
A means to calm down tensions and conflicts in the group or the classroom. In a relaxed atmosphere, motivation and work are enhanced. We balance the emotions so as not to disturb the cognitive processes like attentiveness, understanding and memory. We will experiment with the essential role of breathing as a tool to manage emotions.
Weekend 3: Nicole Gerat (April)

Preparation for Exams
A way to control stress, during exam time. Being aware, concentrated and self-confident: three essential conditions to deal with tests, exams, competitions, interviews – at all levels. Thanks to the practice of positive thinking, young people understand and accept that effort and self-discipline lead to success.
Weekend 4: Veronique Mainguy (May)

She is also a Satyananda yoga teacher and met Micheline Flak 10 years ago after seeing an article about RYE. She trains teachers in history and geography and when she can she includes yoga.
Yoga and Children with Special Needs
Some means to help children develop their strengths. Difficult experiences and repeated failures give children an inferiority complex. Allowing them to understand and overcome them is a way to restore self-confidence and encourage them to express their feelings, improve their relationships and make good progress in school.
