I love what I do. Every teaching experience fulfills me and gives me joy. I want to share what happened a few weeks ago during Resting Pose. I have been going to one of the homeless shelters in metro Atlanta to teach children ages 4 to 12.
Grounded, Grounded, GO! is a game designed to use with any age and all levels. Use the Grounded Pose Crackers and a round mat or two yoga mats in the center. It is a detective duck duck goose game played with a purpose.
Set Up: Place Grounded Pose Crackers face down in a circle with a large yoga mat in the middle.
You’re Up Then You’re Down is in the Twist and Shine sequence of our Grounded Elevator Pose Series. In this sequence, the focus is on the Third Chakra located in the solar plexus, the core of your body. These poses challenge you to exert your personal power and strength of character.

It’s Monday after 3 days of grounding 17 grown ups in the art and design of teaching kids yoga Grounded style. I lean back in my chair at lunch, unable to carry on a conversation, and say to Sedef “I’m drained.” Instantly, my body recognized this as untrue.
Today was day 2 of Grounded Kids 95 hour Certification Intensive Online. In a group that totals 15, there is 1 black woman. Out of hundreds of Grounded Kids teachers, less than 50 are black. I will spend time figuring out how to correct such a discrepancy but first I have a lot to learn.
