I get asked all the time....where do you teach?
Well, truth be told, I'm a bit of a nomad. Being married with children has sapped me of my ability to commit and settle down, and so I find myself, in my path as a kids' yoga teacher and artist, drifting endlessly from one place to another. And I love every second of it.
So where do I teach? Everywhere! So far this year, I have held several sessions of yoga at local venues, appeared at countless libraries and worked privately with students through the federally funded 21st Century Program. But if you are interested in bringing yoga to your school, group or family, there are several ways to do so.
One is to contact your local library. I have held workshops in dozens of Bay State libraries, and generally those libraries not only have the funds through grants and "friends", but they are always actively looking for new programs to bring to their patrons. Just ask! Give them my website and ask them to have me come for a workshop.
Another great avenue is to sponsor a yoga class for your child's school. Think of it as a gift that you're giving to your child's classroom :-) I also work privately with families in their homes, or with several families at one time; Playgroups, peri-natal gatherings, you name it.
And the final way (and this is something to think about for the 2011-2012 school year) is to put me in touch with your PTO and help me to get an afterschool yoga class going at your school. For a small tuition fee per child, I can come to your school for a 6-week session and make yoga an afterschool activity for dozens of kids! I have had great success with this arrangement over the past couple years and I would welcome the opportunity to meet some new faces :-)
Blessings,

To all who have supported and nurtured me in 2010, thank you. I hope 2011 is full of exciting opportunities, joyful moments and much abundance for you and your family.
I will continue my school-age yoga class on Tuesday afternoons at Little Stars Gymnastics Center in Leominster, and will also continue my private teen class on Monday nights at my home. I am also holding a Mom & Baby yoga series at the Hudson Public Library starting in March and I hope to see YOU there!
All the best to all of you,
"miss mandy"
