This is our wonderful yoga instructor, Lynn Kiel. She is a dynamic mom, friend, and member of the community. I’ve gotten to know her in her capacity as a yoga instructor for the children in my program. She offers several 6 week sessions throughout the school year, and we participate as often as we can!
Miss Lynn, as we call her, is energetic and skilled at focusing young children. She comes prepared with a notecard of songs and activities chosen for class, adjusting to the needs of the group. She makes sure each child feels included, and she invites adults to join if they would like.
One thing that the children really enjoy is the way she incorporates stories into our practice. We aren’t just being a tree, but we are a seed planted, and she creates a story that has the children becoming the tree. We are warmed by the sun, and watered while reaching our “roots” deep into the soil.
And if your child has an opportunity to be in her class, go for it! She is such a lovely instructor!
