Yoga is the Art and Science of Creating a Healthy Body and Mind
About Us
Mockingbird Yoga is a new business in Loudoun County built to provide Yoga instruction to Loudoun’s youth. As the founder of Mockingbird Yoga I bring more than 10 years of personal practice and involvement with yoga to my company. As the mother of a three year old, and through my experience with YogaKids International, I know how yoga translates to a child’s world.
YogaKids has been educating and empowering children for more than 15 years and has been feature in multiple national and international media outlets, including the NBC Nightly News and PBS. Mockingbird Yoga, and YogaKids, bring the mission of educating and empowering the whole child to the communities of Loudoun County.
Stress, stimulus and schedules rule kids lives today. Mockingbird Yoga is about learning how to cope with the stress, tone down the stimulus and make time to connect to ourselves and each other.
Children need time to play. Mockingbird Yoga provides a world of play through movement, imagination, game and storytelling.
Yoga is also a powerful tool for teaching children how to connect with their emotions and how to express and handle those emotions in a healthy manner. With so much outside stimulus facing children today, they can have a difficult time connecting with their feelings. Outbursts, withdrawal, difficulty forming friendships, falling behind in school and health problems can all be caused by children not understanding how they feel, or not being able to express those emotions clearly and in a healthy manner. Through relaxation, meditation, personal awareness and connection with others, Mockingbird Yoga can help children understand and express their emotions.
Giving children and teens a space to find themselves, be themselves and better themselves is the goal of Mockingbird Yoga. I hope to be able to give to the children of our community tools that will help them live strong, positive and peaceful lives in an ever changing, ever chaotic global community.
