Birthday Yoga!

This week was my birthday and I had to teach a bit so I figured I may as well have fun with it. I made the classes about my birthday which made me happy, was super sweet and the kids really liked it. I did this with my 20 min and 30 min Pre-k and Kindergarten classes.  1) Sun Warmup: We start the class using our suns to warm up our bodies. It is fun to explain to the kids about how the Earth circles the sun every 365 days which is a full year until it is your birthday again! It’s such a cool concept to teach and the kids really enjoy learning that. 2) Butterfly Pose: Next it’s time to make a birthday cake. We bring our toes to kiss to make our bowl.

Together We Are One

This is the theme and mantra of this collaboration between Team Next Generation Yoga and Africa Yoga Project. I spent the last year fundraising and raised over $8000 to make this trip happen. This week has been inspiring, emotional, exhausting, enriching and joyful. I worked hard to get here, but also feel so lucky that I get to do this. This work is beyond amazing.

Our goal was to come here to teach 80 Africa Yoga Project teachers how to bring yoga to the children they already teach.

Lead The Change

Next June I will be traveling to Nairobi, Kenya with a group of yogis to do work that is very dear to my heart. This group I am now involved with is spearheaded by Jodi Komitor of Next Generation Yoga. Jodi trained me 9 years ago to teach yoga to children and has continued to be my friend and mentor. When she said she was taking a team to Kenya to share yoga with children, I immediately knew this was something I had to be a part of. Team Next Generation Yoga is committed to working with an organization called the Africa Yoga Project. The mission of the Africa Yoga Project is to “use the transformative power of yoga to empower communities and change lives.” Presently, they have over 50 teachers, between the ages of 16-30, who have studied with and been trained by the well-regarded master yoga teacher: Baron Baptiste.
