Yoga TeachersA Message from Gloria O'Shea to Our Yoga Teacher Candidates
Today, when we search for yoga teachers to work in the schools for the Sean O’Shea Foundation we look at their character and how they respond to the children…they must have the same characteristics that Sean had…they must be compassionate, patient, kind, and non-judging! The teachers I choose are the ones who have found peace in their lives! We want our Yoga Teachers to share their optimistic personal experiences and we ask our yoga teacher to share their expertise in yoga practices that are founded on the importance of turning obstacles into opportunities, problems into solutions, challenge into courage, and conflict into harmony. “When we find the gift to live each day with calm and peaceful purpose, than and only then can we share that peace with a young life as our gift to the world”. So when Sean would share to us how he was wittinessing a positive change in his young students…that was Sean’s gift to the world. YOGA TEACHERS If you love working with kids and would be interested in volunteering or being a contracted yoga teacher, contact Gloria O’Shea at (760) 966-0987 or Namaste@seanosheafoundation.org

Recent Research on the SOSF Mindful Programs
In a recent research study on the Sean O'Shea Foundation they found there was an increase on restoration of confidence, emotional stability, lowered anxiety levels, and an increase on peaceful attitude.
In addition, our surveys from school psychologists, administrators, probation officers and after school directors shared the same thing that researchers are saying about mindful practices in schools: The kids GPA’s are improving, school attendance is improving, tardiness is decreasing, and referral notices were dramatically decreasing. We found that mindful practices were redirecting attention, improving concentration, increasing self-control, combating dropout and incarceration rates as well as post traumatic stress disorders and numerous other societal problems that cost the US economy trillions of dollars a year!
