The Joy Zone! Ways to Recharge and Find Your Zen

Workshop Description:
Teaching is exhausting! We care for and love our students so much that we sometimes forget to care for ourselves. Join Shelly Sanchez Terrell for this hands-on, interactive workshop as she shares practical strategies for fitting wellness routines into your busy schedule, such as mindfulness practices, movement exercises, and time management techniques that prioritize self-care. Participants will also walk away with a toolkit of activities that can help them recharge, including resources for mental, physical, and emotional well-being. Additionally, participants will be able to apply these strategies to their own teaching contexts and leave the workshop feeling motivated and empowered to prioritize their own self-care and well-being.
