Yoga for children

I’m a certified children’s yoga teacher with Childlight Yoga and have additional training in trauma-sensitive yoga for children. I currently teach yoga and mindfulness in various schools in the community, and travel to preschools and libraries to offer classes for children and families. I can also host a yoga and art birthday party for your child.
