    🤕 [05:19] The car accident that changed everything: how physical trauma led him to martial arts, Tai Chi, and Qigong as healing tools.

    ☯️ [10:11] Rob’s approach to reducing classroom stress: Kung fu and Qigong in class for kids, teachers, and even parents - balance is needed for all.

    😮‍💨 [30:56] Teach kids diaphragmatic breathing to self-regulate (e.g., "Inhale for 4, exhale for 8").

    💎 [33:28] Connection makes him tick, and if we connect teachers and students to their bodies, the changes will be amazing.

    Resources Mentioned:

    • Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences.
    • Thomas Merton (contemplative monk bridging Christianity and Zen).
    • ‘ADHD Refocused’ book by David Sitt
