Breathing Techniques Workshops for Teachers and Students at the Technical School in Bor
In a rapidly changing world, mental health and emotional balance have become key topics for students and teachers. For this reason, the Technical School in Bor initiated a collaboration with the Tiki Yoga Studio and instructor Željka Zdravković. Željka is a renowned yoga instructor and therapist, with extensive experience working with diverse groups, from children to professionals.
Why Breathing Techniques?
Breathing techniques are not just relaxation practices; they are a powerful tool for improving concentration, reducing stress, and increasing emotional resilience. Today, students and teachers face significant pressures—from deadlines to expectations in school and their personal lives. These workshops aimed to provide them with concrete methods for better managing these challenges.
What Did They Learn?
During the workshops, participants went through several different breathing techniques, from basic exercises that help calm the mind to advanced methods designed to boost energy and focus. Željka Zdravković emphasized the importance of proper breathing as a foundation for physical and mental health, as well as emotional stability. The exercises were designed to be accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical fitness.
Participants’ Experience
Teachers were particularly excited about the techniques they could apply not only for their personal well-being but also as part of their everyday classroom activities. “The workshop opened my eyes to how little attention we pay to our breathing and how much it can change our daily lives,” noted one of the teachers. On the other hand, students saw the breathing techniques as a fantastic tool for combating stress before tests and improving concentration in class.
This workshop is just the first step toward introducing similar techniques into the daily lives of students and teachers at the Technical School in Bor. With the support of instructor Željka Zdravković, the school plans to regularly organize such workshops to further enhance the mental and physical health of its students and staff.
Željka Zdravković, with her experience and warm approach, has brought a new dimension to the educational process at the Technical School in Bor. The breathing techniques workshops have proven to be an exceptionally useful tool for improving daily life and creating a healthier school atmosphere. We expect that such initiatives will become a regular part of the school program and continue to bring positive changes for both teachers and students.
