“Look inside yourself; everything that you want, you already are.” – Rumi

The foundation for this workshop is the firm belief that yoga is mostly about self-discovery and self-acceptance. Our goal is to give parents, teachers, and educators the tools they need to make the practice for their students a joyful bundle of breath work and mindful movements, and to guide the young people to eventually seek the quietness within that the meditation instills in them.

The term “spirited” is defined as lively, vivacious, vibrant, and full of life. In this workshop, we will explore and delve deep into that inner spirit as a driving force on which the uniqueness of each person is built upon. Understanding how to listen to our inner guidance, we will learn to breathe life into the poses by carrying the spirit they represent.

That is how the yoga transforms us to be strong, yet humble as a Warrior, grounded as a Tree, mighty as an Eagle, happy as a Baby, and graciously beautiful as a Bird of Paradise.

Tapping into the enormous creative reservoir and imagination that kids have, we will learn powerful techniques to guide the children to be in control of their feelings, thoughts, and emotions: how to turn anger, sadness, or sense of being misunderstood and inadequate into self-acceptance, confidence, and loving kindness.
