VIRTUAL COZY CORNER

 Calm mind brings inner strength and self-confidence, so that's very important for good health. - Dalai Lama

Sometimes life can be overwhelming and it can be hard to work through difficult times. This Virtual Cozy Corner was designed to assist in identifying different strategies for managing emotions. Students and families can use these sites to help them fall asleep, use when they are doing school work, or when they are feeling overwhelmed. We hope these tools will provide helpful outlets and practices for when life gets tough.



We will add to the sections a different exercise or activity in each Virtual Cozy Corner edition. You have different sections to choose from....



  • Visual Relaxation

  • Sounds and Music

  • Guided Practice Breathing

  • Yoga

  • Virtual Field Trips
