Creative Movement at the smiley: March session
Do you have a preschooler who loves to move?
Bring them to dance class!
This is a ballet-based creative movement class that is tailored toward the developing child. Dancers will explore body awareness and musicality through creative movement sequences that involve song, play, and imagination. This is a low-commitment recreational class for the dancer that doesn't want to commit to a full semester at a studio. There is no recital for this class.
4 week session is $80.
Saturdays 11:00 am
Downstairs studio RM #15 at the Smiley bldg.

YOGA FOR EDUCATORS
As an Early Childhood Educator for over ten years, I found my journey to yoga as a way to ease the early onset of burnout. Long days of high empathy output and overstimulation in the classroom left me feeling overwhelmed and lacking in the joy that being an educator initially gave me. I needed something to help settle my nervous system so that I could better care for my students. When I was 25 years old, I began incorporating yoga into my weekly exercise regimen and immediately felt the benefits of the nervous system regulation that Yoga offers. In 2023, over 5 years after that initial choice, I found a teacher training to help me help other teachers seeking reprieve.
Now it is part of my life's work to teach educators how to access the same type of relief. In this mobile offering, I visit classrooms and schools to give teachers the reset they need in their bodies and mind. Using my training in Prana Vinyasa and breath work techniques, I guide educators through physical and spiritual practices that are geared toward a regulated nervous system. This class will leave teachers feeling refreshed and equipped to handle anything that comes their way at school and in life.
