Maria is a passionate kids yoga teacher who embodies health and wellness of mind, body and spirit. As an educator for over 12 years, she has incorporated mindfulness, yoga and alternative engaging and creative methods into her teaching practice to meet the diverse needs of her students. She believes our young people have the absolute right to learn tools to develop healthy lifelong habits and to understand the importance and nourishing power of self-care. She has collaborated with TGA to build a yoga program for our educators and children; their little bodies and big hearts are at the perfect age to build and grow these habits now. The new mindfulness program will help your children to not only build strength and flexibility but regulate their emotions and learn breathing techniques. “The intention of Prana Kids Yoga birthed from following my passion to teach our next generation a positive and healthy mindset through creative and imaginative poses, fun and interactive yoga games and learning through play”.

Benefits to Yoga

Kids Yoga is a wonderful and enriching activity which can be practiced individually, in partners or with many family and friends. There are a variety of benefits including physical, emotional and social and I have seen first-hand the positive impact that yoga has on the children who experience a one-off class or attend a regular prorgam. Classes are always fun for the children and they get to experience games and mindful activities that help create the yoga pose, sequence or adventure.
