Would you like to show up in your life with greater calm, clarity, and connection? Would you like to be able to leave more of your work stress at work and more of your personal stress at home? Would you like to be able to take yourself down a notch before and after a stressful class, meeting, or phone call? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, you likely could benefit from integrating mindfulness practices into your day. As part of NYSUT’s commitment to our members overall well-being, we are happy to offer this valuable opportunity.

The RISE Kripalu Program teaches practitioners how to achieve greater clarity and resilience, improved situational awareness and better decision-making and work/life balance through mindfulness techniques. RISE is an evidence-based professional development program anchored in the science and practice of mindfulness, yoga, and positive psychology. The RISE program brings together more than a decade of research in mindfulness, resilience, brain science, and social and emotional intelligence. RISE is not a yoga class. There are no barriers to entry, RISE is designed to offer tools that can be used any time, any place, in your personal and your professional lives. These tools can be shared with your students, your colleagues, and your families. To learn more about the RISE program, visit https://kripalu.org/rise-resources
