I always tell people I have the best job ever, I get to share my love of yoga with the most energetic, enthusiastic, and playful people on the planet, kids! And frankly, there are few things cuter then a room full of 5 year olds acting like animals. But kids yoga is more than just pretend and wild adventures, it is preventative medicine. I find passion in my work, knowing that I am part of the team full of educators, mentors, and parents that are raising a generation of children who are aware of themselves, their bodies, and our interconnectedness within our world.

Along with asana, I like to incorporate breath work, mindfulness practices, and conversations related to yoga philosophy. I love working at lil omm because of its community feel, warm environment, and willingness to create a safe place for everybody within its small walls. It is amazing that one space can challenge and offer room to grow so many different people, of so many different ages, each day, and I find joy being within that energy.

About Sarah's Experience:
Sarah began working with schoolchildren in the 8th grade and continued to do so throughout high school, college, and post-graduation. In an effort to bring together two passions, yoga and learning, Sarah now teaches kids yoga at local Washington DC schools. A native of the city, Sarah started practicing yoga when her athletic trainer at the University of Pennsylvania recommended it as a way to reverse growing back pain as was well as means to strengthen her mental game for a demanding division 1 lacrosse career. It was love at first forward fold (although she could not touch her toes) and Sarah has been practicing yoga ever since. She studied vinyasa yoga at Tranquil Space and children's yoga through Karma Kids all in the Washington DC area.

You can learn more about Sarah on her website.
