Hello! My name is Ms. Jamie and I will be the Yoga Instructor for Spring Semester 2025. I am the creator of Mindful Play Yoga and am known for my insight, patience and ability to connect with each child by engaging them mindfully through play and yoga.
Each yoga class has an affirmation (theme): Kindness Begins With Me, Peace Begins With Me, I Am So Strong, I Am So Brave, I Can Slow Down and I Am So Awesome. Playing with affirmations help keep kids focused as they learn yoga poses, yoga games and breathing techniques in class. My passion is to share yoga with kids by offering them the tools to feel grounded, balanced, strong, flexible and learn body awareness to self-regulate emotions on/off the yoga mat.
For this class your child will need: a yoga mat, ideally bare feet and comfortable clothes.
