Hello!
My name is Deepali and it is my belief that every child (and person) can enrich and enhance their life through yoga! From the young age of 6, it was my desire to work with and help children. As an elementary school teacher with a Master’s in Education and 17 years of experience, I understand the issues children face today. I have had the pleasure of educating hundreds of children and guiding them to reach their full potential. As a certified yoga teacher, I have the privilege of guiding my students to wellness and balance of mind and body. It has been my experience that through yoga, mindfulness, and meditation, we are ALL capable of finding center and
getting back in touch with our innate state of joy!

Certified in kids/adult yoga and ski coaching – I love mentoring  kids and blending movement into everyday life and breath. My motto is “moderation in movement” and my focus  is on every population working with their individual challenges and strengths.
A homeschooling veteran of 15 plus years I’ve come to realize my love for helping children grow with compassion and presence.  I have been involved with the Camphill movement for over three decades and have embraced the idea of  diverse learning communities and the benefits of all inclusiveness to foster community and unity when it comes to abilities, ways of learning and philosophies. I love connecting the dots of structured movement technique with the free “spiritness” children inherently possess.

Mindful Movement is key for everyone!
