Amy has a unique approach to connecting with children. She believes the key to being successful when introducing YOGA to children is in the presentation. The energy is fun, creative, spontaneous and stimulating to the child's imagination. Her class threads the beautiful animal and nature based poses together through MUSIC and Art. The connection in the brain is most effective to children when the association of movement and rhythm and the visual aspects merge.

Amy also references the holistic and humanitarian nature of YOGA, which nurtures the body, mind and spirit of the child. Relaxation methods, global awareness and simple life lessons are incorporated in each session.

Conscious Child Yoga allows children to tap into their own natural abilities to gain strength, coordination and heighten their mental accuracy. As each child becomes connected to their own bodies and mind they organically become more connected and CONSCIOUS of the world around them.

This is the beauty of YOGA.
