My name is Carina and I started practicing yoga 4 years ago, after having a daily practice and feeling the immense benefits and positive shifts in my life I decided to quit my day job and make it my mission to get yoga to as many young people as I can. Yoga is a great preventative measure for mental health issues as well which is another reason I have made this my life mission.
Through teaching young children yoga I want provide them with a toolbox to enable them to live their best life, I want to empower them to believe in themselves and to make them feel that they can fully 'let go', 'relax' and ' be themselves in my class'. I always love to check in with them first at the beginning of my class to see how they are feeling and what type of class they are in the mood for, I always have a class plan but I always adapt it to their specific needs on that day as I want to ensure I am always teaching them things that they will benefit from the most.
Reading self help and motivational books are things that really inspire me and it enables me to always try my best to be the best teacher I can to the young children. People who really inspire me are - Dr Wayne Dyre, Sadhguru, Tony Robbins and my mum.
