She is a recently retired Speech & Language Pathologist who worked with special needs preschoolers for 35 years successfully bringing yoga to little ones in their school setting.

She is currently a “guest artist” at the Syracuse University Early Education & Child Care Center and @ Bernice Wright Child Development Center.

Yoga & Nature summer camp will be offered for the 2nd year in July 2015.
