ructors & Founder with 200hr Cert. that strongly believe in continuing education to provide their community with the best of practices. Owner & Founder is currently enrolled in Social-Emotional Learning Specialization Course, and Trauma-Informed Yoga Certification Class. Grounded (adjective)
ground·ed: mentally and emotionally stable : admirably sensible and realistic : to establish a firm foundation from which to grow. "As the saying goes, children need two things from us: ROOTS and wings. Children need a protective, loving, and secure environment to grow into healthy adulthood. Only when they have put down ROOTS and become GROUNDED in the earth can they develop wings that will carry them freely through life." -Danielle Bersma
Yoga/Mindful Movement has the potential to help children (& adults!) in so many ways! It can:
-improve overall physical and emotional wellbeing
-give tools for emotional regulation/recognition
-help reduce stress and anxiety
-improve body/spatial awareness
-improve focus and self-esteem
-learn balance, endurance, and flexibility
***Our programs do NOT teach on any spirituality. We focus on teaching tools for mindfulness, calming, and self-awareness through mindful movement.***
Mission: Grounded ROOTS Yoga aims to build a strong foundation for children & adults by increasing self awareness and self-confidence through breathing, movement, and social-emotional learning. GRY helps whole families; students to not only nurture their body, mind, and spirit, but to also live a full yogic lifestyle through providing authentic yoga experiences by consciously shaping our attitudes, habits, and general ways of bettering ourselves, our community, and our lives. We integrate social-emotional learning discussions, lessons and activities for children. GRY also creates adult yoga classes to provide connection & build community. The social-emotional learning that takes place during our classes are either written by us, from a SEL certified curriculum, and/or a combo of both. may include book readings, hands on activities, role playing, games, discussions, etc. are. more. than. yoga. We are an Enrichment Program! "Social Emotional Learning (SEL) refers to the development of self-awareness, self-control, self-regulation, social skills, and responsible decision making all of which are essential for school and life success." A lot of our yoga sessions will take place outdoors, on our family homestead. We also integrate SEL discussions and activities.
