Budding Tree Yoga for Kids is an educationally based yoga program. Through Budding Tree, children will learn integrity, honesty, compassion, and self-awareness. The class structure brings the children together by age groups and incorporates reading, language, math, and social studies with movement. While the yoga poses are important, they do become secondary, as we don’t expect 3 to 5 year olds to stand in a pose for 2 minutes. They may not even want to stay on their mat that long! What is most important is that the children learn in a fun and creative way.

Budding Tree Yoga for Kids is an educationally based yoga program that teaches integrity, honesty, and compassion while increasing flexibility and strength.  I received my certification from YogaKids in 2012 and have been loving teaching!  My inspiration is my own children. My oldest is a special needs teacher who has has participated in a 9 week study with me on the benefits of yoga on children. My youngest are 3 and 4 years old and have both been practicing since they were in the womb!  Their behavior and attitude towards life is proof to me that the benefits of yoga can agree with any age.  

I also teach adult classes which allows be to bring the joy and ease of yoga to folks older than the age of 5! The adult classes are gentle yet effective, building strength and flexibility.
