Full of Joy Yoga

One of the most challenging aspects of writing this book was to effectively capture the way I teach onto a page. I have very specific sequences I've been teaching for almost 20 years! For those of you who know my teaching, I started teaching the mountain & volcano back in San Francisco in 2004. I teach that game/activity to kids from ages 2-12 and they all love it. Teachers too! Trying to capture the essence of it on paper was hard.

I can't wait for you to see the videos I created to go with my favorite games from the book!

I love this review from the amazing kid's yoga teacher & biz owner Kate Cygler of Peaceful Pause.

Many of you have asked how you can support me beyond buying your own copy of the book. One way you can really make an impact is to write an honest review of the book on Amazon. Customer reviews lend credibility to products online. They also help people who are on the fence decide if this book is right for them. Thank you for your help spreading the word about Yoga Games for Kids! By leaving a review, you’re helping the book reach the hands of folks who most need it.

I did a thing the other day! I've been making kids yoga videos for years now, completely unprofessional but fine.

My friend, fellow yogi and video editor extraordinare Michelle Morgan (who edited my last set of videos) said I must have them film and edit my next round. So I did! Thank you Steve for your amazing videography skills.

You'll just have to wait for the finished product!

Thank you to Heidi Sormaz
And Fresh Yoga for use of the beautiful space.

Come to New England Brewing Co. today from 12-5 for the SHE SHINES Woman Artisans Event ! I'm here too with a Full of Joy Yoga class at 2pm.

Your entry ticket of toiletries, granola bars, socks, tshirts, or cash benefits the Woman & Families Shelter of New Haven.

First public kids yoga class in 2 years and it was a success! The kiddos were adorable and made teaching just so fun. I missed this!

Thanks to the CT Folk fest for inviting me, the day was gorgeous & music was sublime. I love our little city.

This morning we spent time at our family tree at our favorite park that we now have to drive to! Feels a little different now that's it's no longer around the corner, but it's still our park and still our tree. We get to watch this tree grow instead of our child. But having it is a comfort and it's gotten so big- it's pretty amazing.

On what would have been his 13th year, it feels really big and the trauma of the loss still feels raw. Silas impacted so many lives in his brief life. If it only allows you to stop for a moment and truly realize what is most important. We know how precious life is and today more then ever make changes in your priorities. Love your peeps, tell them, show them and be extra kind to yourself.

As we say every year-
Look at the stars✨ and say his name.
Hug your kiddos tight 🤗
Light a candle. 🕯️
We are so fortunate to have the best people in our lives.

This year we are starting a new endeavor in his honor. We are working with The Community Fund of Greater New Haven and the Nature Year program at Common Ground to create a fund in order to help more kids gain access to the amazing programs available at this wonderful school.

Our goal is to create a legacy for Silas and to connect it to the incredible experiences Zephyr has enjoyed throughout his years at the camps, programs and Nature Year program that Common Ground offers. We want more children to have access to these transformative learning experiences and with Silas' name meaning "of the trees" this feels like a perfect fit.

In the coming months we will let folks know how they can be part of this, and we want to thank Roberta Shestack Rosen and Michael Rosen for their help getting this started, along with my dad Bob whose legacy will also help us get this off the ground.

Thank you all for the support you've shown for us over many years and especially this day, every year with all the messages of lit candles and love in memory Silas. It means so much to us, thank you.
