Cheryl Crawford

Atlanta, Georgia 30307 Website: Grounded Website
Biography

Cheryl Crawford is grounded in compassion and elevated in absurdity, and is dedicated to connecting children to the power of seriously playful yoga practices. As co-founder of Grounded,and founder of the non-profit yoga service initiative Atlanta Yoga Movement, she has spent more than a decade fusing Dr. Seuss and other universally loved children’s books with yoga sutras to help kids find peace, poise and playfulness in their everyday lives.

Cheryl’s teaching journey began in an Atlanta elementary school classroom, where she worked as a classroom teacher, reading specialist and curriculum coordinator for 11 years. Working in schools and playing with words, she discovered that students were far more connected to their daily lessons when they felt not only heard, but understood. After giving birth to triplet daughters, Cheryl began practicing yoga and then sought a way to pair her newfound dedication to this ancient practice with her love of books and longstanding passion for teaching.

For guidance, all she had to do was listen to the budding yogis and yoginis in her midst.

“I saw that yoga was beneficial to all sorts of people, from three-year-old children to men who were homeless,” says Cheryl, who has taught yoga full-time since 2003. “Each of these populations has a lot to teach each other about the universal truths that can help us all be our best selves. That’s why I make a point of really listening to the people I teach, because I know there are others who can benefit from their wisdom. “

Through breathing and mindful alignment (not to mention the occasional ridiculous rhyme), Cheryl believes that by asking “Are you safe? Are you sound? Are you whole? Are you well?” she can help students of all ages and abilities find the grounding they need to truly soar. Recognized by local, national and international media for her work in yoga education, Cheryl is also certified to teach Anusara, Correlation Vinyasa, Hot Core Power, YogaKids, Laughter Yoga and Radiant Child. Schools, homeless shelters, social workers and more seek Cheryl’s counsel on age- and situation-appropriate yoga curriculums that bring out the best in everyone so they can become open-hearted, flexible and confident on and off their mats.

She is honored to be the first official school yoga coordinator for the state of Georgia and to have her curriculum, United States of You, as part of Dekalb County Schools.

Peggy Culpepper

Biography

I first fell in love with yoga when I was a young and somewhat troubled middle school girl. As I grew up I fell more in love with the practice of yoga and as of 2022 decided I was ready to begin sharing this with others, professionally. I received my 200 hour certificate from Peachtree Yoga in December of 2022. After completion of the course I realized just how much the children in my own life need these tools and found Grounded Kids.

Learning about the power of my breath and how to truly be present in the moment helped me to overcome many of my mental battles. I want to share these tools with kids and teens so that they too can win their mental battles and grow through their own physical and energetic practice.

One of my favorite things about yoga is that no one’s personal practice will or should look the same. Our bodies are all so different, as our minds and feelings are too. In my classes, we celebrate our differences – from where we come from to how we show up on our mats.

I find great joy in leading mindful art activities. These crafts can facilitate students to think about their practice in a creative way that has the potential to bring them closer to understanding of their deeper feelings.

Biography

I have been practicing yoga for over twenty nine years and took my very first 200 Yoga Teacher Training in 1999 at Peachtree Yoga Center and have been teaching since. I earned my 300 hour YTT certification from Bhakti Yogshala in India.

Here is a little secret; during my 200 hour YTT in Hatha Yoga I fell in love with Kundalini Yoga which lead me to take the Kundalini Yoga Teacher certification under the guidance of beloved teacher Mukta Kaur Khalsa.  I am  a member of Yoga Alliance and the Kundalini Yoga Teachers Association (IKYTA).

My personal yoga style is an integration of the various types of yoga that I have studied and practiced with many teachers through out the years. I strongly believe that yoga is a way of life that brings peace of mind, physical strength, health, vitality, and enhanced spirituality. My classes reflect my dedication of maintaining the sacred integrity of yoga and my heart felt commitment to enjoying the practice on and off the mat.

The most fun I had during any of my many yoga teacher trainings was during the Laughter Yoga Teacher Training that certified me to be a Laughter Yoga Leader to facilitate classes and workshops.

I was right there during the birth of Grounded Kids and every step of the way after. That enabled me to worked even harder than anybody to earn my Grounded Yoga Teacher & Trainer Certification. I am the creator of Pre-Grounded (ages 3-6) which qualifies me to teach yoga to Pre school, Elementary, Middle and High School aged kids.

Years worth of experience and knowledge allows me to shine when I teach the Special Needs Populations.  I give 100%, nothing less, each and every time. I connect on such a deep level with children and young adults with special needs and it shows during my teachings.

I teach many styles of adult yoga classes including Hatha Yoga Basics,  All Levels Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Yin Yoga and Meditation. I also teach children, Pre-Grounded and Grounded Kids classes, at many Montessori, public and private schools around Atlanta. I lead many workshops for the public and YTTs,  and teach trainings and special events throughout Atlanta and the USA.

I have two amazing adult children who inspire and motivate me everyday. I can still embarrass them when I do yoga poses in public, but I know they are proud of me and support everything I do.

I share my life with my long time partner who is the founder of Grounded Kids. She still pushes my buttons everyday and expects nothing but excellence from me.

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE WHAT I DO! And I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR IT.
