The Full Story
In 2009 I decided to become a yoga instructor. The summer of 2009 I dropped my two high school age sons off at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill to attend a MSEN summer program. After I dropped them off, I stopped at the gym to workout. When I got there the gym was offering a yoga class. I had never taken a yoga class before and decided that I would try it out. As I was enjoying the class, my higher spirit spoke to me and told me to ask the yoga teacher if there was a kids yoga teacher training offered in this area. After class I asked the yoga instructor about yoga teacher training in the area for kids, she said there were none around here. I went home and explored several yoga teacher training that offered a kids yoga in other states. I found Radiant Childs Family Yoga teacher training in Herndon, Virginia. I immediately applied and by the fall of that year I was driving to Herndon Virginia once a month for teacher training.
After I completed my 200-hour certified yoga teacher training. I then began to offer a summer camp for kids. Since then, I have taught Saturday kids yoga classes at my yoga studio Wytha Balance Yoga, Durham Parks and Recreation, Durham Public Schools, a Day Treatment Program, and have offered yoga at the elementary school where I work as a Professional School Counselor. I am trained in Yoga 4 Classrooms, Trauma and Mindfulness for Kids and Yoga for Teens.
Wytha Balance Yoga – Counseling LLC offers yoga to kids, teens and adults. I am currently offering a kids yoga summer camp and teaching kids yoga at a Day Treatment Center for kids. I also offer a variety of adult yoga classes such as Yin Yoga, Psychotherapeutic Yoga, Gentle Yoga and Guided Meditations. I am also a Master Level Reiki Practitioner.
I named by business Wytha Balance Yoga – Counseling, LLC to include the mind, body and spirit. My motto is live a calm and peaceful life.
