For 24 years I have loved teaching and learning with young children from Kindergarten through Grade 3. After taking the Yoga Calm Wellness Intensive I, II, III in 2016 with 1,000 Petals owner, Kathy Flaminio, I recognized early on that Yoga Calm would be a transformative practice in helping me reach my personal goal of ensuring each child see him or herself as gifted and worthy. Putting the emotional needs of my students first has reignited new passion for my work as a primary teacher. Yoga Calm provides tools for so many things, including self-regulation, but also, importantly, self-discovery. I believe when we give children tools to access Stillness, Listening, Grounding, Strength and Community, they are on a path to self-discovery and a life of inner wisdom and strength. Yoga Calm has sparked me to attain certification as a Registered Yoga Instructor.
