Youth programs
I own and operate L.O.C.A.L. Adventures, a passionate team of educators helping youth build inner toolkits and find joy through yoga, mindfulness and outdoor programs. My passion for education began when I taught English in Thailand for two years post college. I have served in the public education sector for over eight years as a yoga and mindfulness educator, special education teacher, art teacher, coach, and mentor, among many other roles. Certified in kids yoga and trauma yoga, I am passionate about introducing young people to the practices and tools that have helped me balance my own thoughts, emotions and habits: breath, movement, creativity and connection with our natural surroundings.
I teach the following courses and camps in Richmond, VA:
Yoga and Mindfulness at Lucille Brown Middle School, Albert Hill Middle School and Henderson Middle School in collaboration with NextUp RVA
Yoga and Mindfulness and JRPS Explorers at Peter Paul Development Center and the Boys and Girls Club Teen Metro Center
