Our Grounded Teen Poet
Jordan Schuster (13 year old Grounded Teen) found yoga when she started middle school. She has continued her study of yoga over the years completing her Grounded Teacher Training and obtaining her Green Bandana.
She is dedicated to her Grounded Teen and Adult yoga classes. She helped write the “Grounded in the Courtroom” video and plays District Attorney Anusara. Her Grounded lessons are infused with poetry and story. She is just so grounded in her heart that when she thought about her cousin who is getting married next month, she wrote a poem.
She said, “My cousin and her fiance are so in love; it is adorable!”
The Grounded Poet is on the right wearing her trademark T-Shirt that states “Melt Hearts, Not Ice Caps!”.
Please kiss me forever. Please feel that it’s true.
Please take me to the church and say “I Do”.
Please sweep me off my feet. Please carry me away.
Please ride with me as the sun ends the day.
Please look at me. Please see all of my flaws.
Please love me for only who I am in the raw.
Please show me your heart. Please take mine.
Please know that I love you no matter what time.
Please dream about us. Please remember it’s true.
Please know that I love you. Please know that I do.
Sedef Dion who teaches a Pre-Grounded class at Springs Yoga shared with me the story of a four year old girl who in the cutest way mistakenly called Savasana….Lasagna. This inspired me to write a Savasana visualization with a Lasagna theme that Amy and I recently used to connect with our Fernbank Elementary Yoga Club students. After we did our practice complete with the Lasagna Savasana, one of our students..the Principal’s seven year old daughter said…”that was so relaxing…this could help me fall asleep at night”. Since it was her birthday that day, we wanted to put together a recording that her parents could play for her as she lays her head down for a good night rest after a long day.
