Six Debaters ~ Two Saturdays ~ One Bloody Good Fight
“He that always gives way to others will end in having no principles of his own.” Aesop
Plotting Mindful Negotiators and Passionate Leaders
As children enter their teen years, their focus is very much on identity. The more they know what they stand for, why they stand for it – or to just become aware of how they stand in the face of adversity – the more informed, self-aware and wiser their decision-making will be.
We don’t tell kids what to think, do or be. We give them the tools to research and make their own decisions.
At YogaPlot we teach context; how to be critical, objective, social, cultural and media consumers. By introducing children to the idea of dialectic discussion – the tools for practical wisdom and conflict-resolution – they begin to form emotional intelligence. How do we accomplish this? Simple yoga & meditation, cookie baking and a good hearty argument.

There is no homework at YogaPlot.Debate
It is about finding your learning/arguing style. Some people research, some ‘wing it’. No style is good nor bad. There is, however, useful and not useful!
