When children learn techniques for self health, relaxation and inner fulfillment, they can navigate life’s challenges with a little more ease.
She decided to enhance her experience with kids yoga by becoming a certified kids yoga teacher through the Grounded Kids Yoga Program in Atlanta, Georgia. She has also completed her RYT-200 yoga teacher certification at Sacred Thread Yoga in Atlanta.
