Learning how to design effective goals and assessments is a critical skill for yoga educators. With Canva, we created an interactive quiz to help participants master the concept of SMART objectives: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound.
The quiz engages learners with visually appealing questions, allowing them to assess their understanding of goal-setting principles while exploring how to apply these in yoga and wellness contexts. The interactive design not only reinforces the material but also models how Canva can be used to create dynamic learning materials for yoga classes and workshops.
Step into a truly immersive experience with this virtual reality activity hosted on Nearpod. Here, learners explore the respiratory system in a 3D environment, deepening their understanding of how breath supports a yoga practice.
Key highlights include:
A VR Field Trip to a serene yoga platform overlooking Mt. Fuji, setting the tone for reflection and learning.
A 3D interactive respiratory system model, where participants can rotate and zoom in to explore the lungs and diaphragm while clicking on components to learn about their functions.
Guided breathing exercises, followed by reflective questions that encourage participants to connect their breathwork knowledge to their practice and teaching.
This activity showcases how VR can combine scientific knowledge and experiential learning, making complex topics like anatomy accessible and memorable.
Games bring energy and focus to professional learning. The Yoga Tech Expert activity, hosted on the GimKit platform, uses gamification to teach yoga teachers and wellness professionals about essential technology tools and design principles.
Participants engage with real-world scenarios, such as choosing the best digital tools for scheduling, designing workshop materials, or enhancing client engagement. The competitive or cooperative gameplay motivates learners to apply their knowledge while collaborating or competing with peers.
This gamified approach fosters problem-solving and critical thinking, ensuring participants not only understand the concepts but also feel confident using them in their work.
