Bringing Yoga to Schools in the Mid-Hudson Valley

Thank you as always for an amazing year!! I truly enjoy our partnership and what you bring into my program every week. The children absolutely adore you and you have become part of our community/family!

As a classroom teacher, I've observed Ms. Liz's exceptional skills as a yoga instructor. She has a calming presence and is an expert in guiding students through mindfulness and movement. Ms. Liz ensures students participate in grade-level appropriate activities that keep students engaged and challenged at their developmental stage. Her classes promote physical well-being and teach valuable life skills such as focus, resilience, and self-awareness. Ms. Liz is an excellent yoga teacher and I would recommend her to anyone!

Miss Liz is a wonderful asset to our students. We are so lucky to have her! She is professional, kind, and patient and the energy that she brings to the classroom with her yoga techniques and mindfulness is really something special. 

Kindergarteners *LOVE* Yoga with Miss Liz (and I do, too!)! I cannot say enough nice things about Liz and/or how excited the kids are when they see Yoga on our schedule. Liz is fantastic with each age group and changes her activities to match each grade level or complement a theme we are doing in class. She learns all student names and personalities quickly, is great at managing the group, and is caring & enthusiastic. She is easy to work with and her class offers a nice change of scenery and pace in our busy school days. We love the structure of Liz's class  as well as the poses & tools that she teaches us.  Kindergarten students have reported that they feel relaxed, happy, calm, quiet, and great after yoga. They love to practice her songs and poses, too! It's been a huge blessing and a positive experience for all of our students in many ways!!

The First Graders love having Yoga with Miss Liz and eagerly get their yoga mats ready whenever we have yoga.  All of the yoga activities the first graders do with Miss Liz are perfect for 6 year olds. Yoga with Miss Liz has provided students in my class with confidence, self-awareness, and mindfulness.  It has been a key part of our social-emotional learning in First Grade, and I love to see it continue!

Our students have improved their self-regulation skills, and they have also developed a deeper sense of self-awareness and empathy towards others. As a teacher, I have learned how it can positively influence the overall classroom environment
