  • Get certified and change the world – One dharma at a time

Being a GroovYoga and Dharma certified instructor has changed my life. While teaching young individuals about their purpose in life I rediscovered my own. I changed my field of study and became a teacher that works with students who have behavioral and cognitive disabilities. I use my Dharma certification in my everyday life and in my own practice. I have started numerous programs in my public school to bring awareness to my community’s unique abilities and potential. For example, I started a runner’s yoga program against bullying, and a yoga book club that focus’ on mediation and school stress. It makes my day that much better knowing that I am connecting with my community. My business partner and I have done Dharma Kids for roughly 4 years together. Not only do we create a safe space for our community, but offer a unique program unlike any other for children. We laugh, learn, dance, and move. We do yoga birthday parties, offer classes, and teach workshops that are all kid-themed and flexible. This is the most rewarding experience I have ever done, and look forward to doing it for years to come.

Being a GroovYoga and Dharma certified instructor has been an amazing experience! This journey has connected me to my Dharma - being able to teach children; help them and use movement, meditation and mindfulness to connect it all. It has been a joy to watch the children gain confidence and embrace their true self!! I now co - own and operate a successful Dharma Kids Program in Maryland. One of my favorite quotes from a child was, after teaching breathing techniques...she said with a big smile on her face " You changed my whole world! " I love making a positive impact in so many children's lives, and knowing that they take the lessons and techniques they learn in Dharma class with them into their world!
