S8 Episode 10: Breathe for Change with Dr. Ilana Nankin

Episode Notes

Today’s podcast will have you breathing deeper and maybe moving on with your day a little bit more grounded.

3Ps hosts Donnie and Danielle welcome Dr. Ilana Nankin, founder and CEO of Breathe for Change, to share her insights on how to care for self, which allows us to better care for others.

Nankin has started a movement of bringing yoga, mindfulness, and social-emotional learning to educators and families across the country. She began this work when she saw how yoga and mindfulness were transforming the wellness of the teachers she worked with.

Nankin shares about the significant ways teachers’ wellbeing translates to their students and classroom and how being aware of students’ social and emotional learning only elevates their ability to learn. She also takes Donnie, Danielle, and listeners through some short breathing and reflection activities and gives tips about how to use those with students.
