I have a passion for children and have dedicated my life + career to seeing children reach their full potential. Yoga is one practice that I believe can help facilitate a child’s potential in a holistic + sacred way.I believe children can learn to listen to their own inner knowing through the practice of yoga, which can facilitate a whole, happy, + healthy child.

My mission at Kindred Sol Yoga is to facilitate connection, self-awareness, + community through the practice of yoga. It is my hope that children will discover their purpose + boldly create a life of freedom through this transformational practice.

I am a Middle School Spanish teacher. I have been a teacher at Warren Middle School, Somerset County, NJ since 2001, and I worked at Readington Middle School for 3 years prior.

I have been a yoga practitioner for 15 years, and always found a way to use breath and stretching in my classroom to invigorate or calm my class – which ever was needed! I decided to study the practice further when I was on medical leave following jaw surgery, and I received my 200 RYT in November, 2016.

Last year I worked with our basketball team, and ran an after school club for special needs students. It was a blast, and I am super excited to continue the club with all of the new Go-Grounded curriculum in my own school or in your school or neighborhood yoga studio!

Anya was introduced to yoga as a baby in a postnatal class, a young child in front of a Kids Yoga video, and finally as a teenager taking studio classes. Ever since then she has continued to explore different styles of yoga, finding increasing joy and meaning in her practice. Anya received her 200 hour yoga teacher certification with Joe Palese in 2012 during her sophomore year of high school, and has since completed all three levels of Grounded Kids Yoga teacher training. Anya has also trained to teach yoga for athletes, yoga for trauma-sensitive populations, and yoga for children with special needs. She has taught children, teens, and adults of all ages in schools, studios, and football fields, encouraging her students to discover awareness through the playful balance of stillness and movement.

My interest is the connection between health and the potential benefits of yoga started during my career as a Registered Nurse. I graduated with a Master of Science degree as a Pediatric Clinical Nurse Specialist/Pediatric Nurse Practitioner from the University of Michigan in August 1998.

I have been practicing yoga for 20+ years and recently discovered a love for teaching children the joy and energy of yoga. My hope in offering yoga classes to children is to provide them with the opportunity to learn skills on their yoga mats that they can take into their daily lives. I like to combine my own creative stories woven around yoga poses to engage children in imaginative discovery of their own unique qualities and abilities. I incorporate the use of breathing techniques with body movement to enhance each child’s ability to focus, become grounded and realize their potential to soar.

I have completed a 200 hour yoga teacher training. In addition, I have completed the “Quest for Elevation” 95 hour RCYS certification through Grounded Kids Yoga of Atlanta.
