i Meet you where you are, and we build from there.

    Bringing mindfulness techniques to youth in the community through yoga is a passion of mine. There are a variety of pathways for this work, but here are a couple examples of past work:

    Working with a local yoga studios to bring monthly pop-up classes to the community.

    Developing a class series for community centers or libraries.

    3-Week long Summer series.

What is Coaching though?

I love this video from Edutopia’s article, “The Role of Coaching in Developing Playful Lessons” as I think it really showcases what a coaching session can look like and feel like. Coaching is not “my way or the highway” and it’s not the pushing or implementing of a certain program, it’s consulting and collaborating with teachers to infuse __ (insert teacher’s goal here) __ into their classroom environment and/or practices.

Elena Aguilar summarizes coaching as, “doing, thinking, and being: doing a set of actions, holding a set of beliefs, and being in a way that results in those actions leading to change.”

Tim Gallwey stated, “Coaching is the art of creating an environment, through conversation and a way of being, that facilitates the process by which a person can move toward desired goals in a fulfilling manner.”
