I realize that its been almost 2 months since i’ve blogged. I also realize that to make this an important part of my business and website, I have to keep current. This is going to be my next goal. I’m sorry for neglecting you!! So onto something more interesting… I gave my first teacher training last month. Rosey and I had 4 eager students who were anxious to be taught the ins and outs of children’s yoga. The weekend turned out better then I could have ever imagined. We just had a really great time and it felt wonderful to share all that I have learned in these years of teaching.

Let the 3 year old run!
I have been teaching in some capacity for at least 13 years now. I have taught everything from preschool up through 6th grade.

Giving Yourself a Hug
This is my first official blog post for Full of Joy Yoga. I am feeling very excited these days at the new turns my business has been taking. I will be doing my first ever teacher training in July with my friend Rosey. We are both so excited to spread our love for yoga with children to others. It is the best job ever and I am so very lucky to be able to spend my day making kids laugh, learn and grow. There is the other side though of running my own business, I have spent the last 3 years doing it alone.
