| Over the past 10 years I have taught MANY kids classes and I almost always cry on my way home! Watching those wild and active bodies come in from a full day at school and beg me to take them to their "secret garden". The kids that I teach have taught ME so many things that I have incorporated into my classes. They are natural born yogi's and what a gift it is for me to be in their presence and to work with them on this level. |
| Watching children roll on the ground is more fun than watching them sit at a desk. Childhood obesity and sedentary rates are sky high. Having a hand in changing those statistics is fulfilling to me. I am blessed with an active child who practices yoga avidly. Instilling these habits in her daily routine is my job as a parent. Instilling these habits in the routine of my students is my satisfaction as a teacher. |
