Like if you still use CDs! I send my albums out all over the world weekly. If you want to grab your own set of my 5 CDs (or get them for someone you know), send an email to hellohello@nancykopman.com! Link in my bio👆🏼 1 0
Like the stillness in between our breaths, silence is something to "stop and appreciate". Thank you for the inspiration to live in the stillness, @davidnewtonwellness and @bordencommunications #getfutureproofed 22 1
Choose kindness in your own actions and it will absorb into your children/students naturally. Working with children provides us with such a unique opportunity to make a difference in "the norm" of how people treat each other. Let's make that opportunity count! Teach kids how good it feels to make others happy. 38 1
I carry my guitar everywhere, and often have to play it at awkward angles. I have sustained many injuries in my arms, shoulders, neck and back from turning or holding it in uncomfortable positions. As I get older, getting up and down from the floor with my guitar is not as effortless as it was when I was in my 20s. I work hard to keep myself strong and keep my muscles conditioned, though, so I can continue working without injury or pain. Future Proofing, led by @davidnewtonwellness equips me with valuable knowledge, awareness and discipline that I follow and practise on a daily basis, which helps keep me balanced, focussed and strong! Thank you, David and @bordencommunications for this essential program. It's the investment that keeps paying off! 💪🏻🙌 2nd photo: The beautiful salad I devoured after class. I love @bioraw salads--beautiful salads made with beautiful ingredients by a beautiful company. ❤️❤️ 19 2
Teach children to deep breathe with "Breathe In, Breathe Out", from "Shadow". This song can be used as a tool to help with an "emotional reset" during anxious moments. Deep breathing is an important and healthy practise that helps our bodies and minds--so this song isn't just for kids--teachers can also try singing this with the whole class as a group relaxation activity. 17 1
Join me for music and movement tomorrow at Breakout Babies! Every Thursday from 11-12:30 we serve Starbuck's coffee, Bagel House bagels, cream cheese, juice and welcome our parents and caregivers into our bright, beautiful space at Breakout Studios for conversation, connection, refreshment and musical stimulation. Always a very special experience. I love this program as much as the parents do! Come and experience it for yourself.❤️🙂🎶 $20 to drop in. 21 1
