I didn’t learn this from Pinterest…
I learned it teaching yoga and mindfulness full-time in an elementary school during the pandemic.
K–8. Every day.
Different needs. Different energy. Real challenges.
At first, I felt overwhelmed.
But I started testing everything…
and quickly learned what actually worked.
Now after 5,000+ classes, a degree in child psychology, and years of teaching movement…
These resources are built from real experience, not guesswork.
✔ 5,000+ Classes
✔ Formerly Licensed Teacher
✔ Child Psychology Degree
✔ Trauma-Informed CertifiedTeacher Favorites
