Yelling 2 Yoga

By James Woods

K-12 schools are being asked to do more than educate. District leaders and school teams must also respond to student stress, behavioral challenges, staff burnout, attendance concerns, and the growing need for social-emotional support.

Yelling 2 Yoga provides a practical, seven-step framework for helping schools move from stress and reactivity toward regulation, connection, and campus wellness. Written by mental health therapist, trainer, and certified yoga instructor James Woods-known as "Dat Yoga Dude"-this book shows educators how to integrate yoga, mindfulness, movement, and social-emotional learning into real school environments without adding another complicated initiative to an already full schedule.

Built for classrooms, counseling spaces, staff meetings, after-school programs, and schoolwide wellness efforts, these strategies can be used in just a few minutes to help students and adults pause, reset, and return ready to learn, lead, and connect.

Inside, readers will discover: Two- to five-minute practices for arrivals, transitions, testing, conflict recovery, and other high-stress momentsSimple breathwork, mindful movement, and meditation routines that can be adapted across K-12 grade levelsReady-to-use scripts and prompts that require no previous yoga experienceTrauma-sensitive and inclusive approaches that support regulation, belonging, focus, and positive behaviorPractical strategies for reducing educator burnout and strengthening calm, grounded leadershipTools that can support classroom instruction, student services, school climate initiatives, and districtwide SEL goals

Yelling 2 Yoga is designed for teachers, counselors, administrators, district leaders, student-services teams, school psychologists, paraprofessionals, coaches, after-school professionals, parents, and others who support children and teens.

Readers also receive access to the free Yelling 2 Yoga Companion Guide, featuring ready-to-print routines, visuals, and implementation tools at www.datyogadude.com/Y2Ybook, also accessible through the QR code inside the book.
