What are people saying?
I have adopted the practices I learned at the Flow and Grow Yoga training! It has drastically changed my daily (classroom) routine. We have yoga breaks almost every day and we have midday meditation every day. The children love it. I believe that it has made such an impact with my students, in behavior, emotional development, academic learning, and social development.
- Judy F., Kindergarten Teacher
“Flow and Grow Kids Yoga teacher training was hands down one of the best, most positive and inspiring weekends of my life! Lara has a vast understanding of yoga and children’s needs from years of personal experience. The training has ignited a passion inside me to teach all children the beauty, power, balance and harmony of yoga!”
— Meghan G., Mom
I can't thank you enough for this YTT weekend! I walked away with an increased sense of confidence in my ability to bring yoga to children, starting with my own little girls. I so appreciate your energy and enthusiasm. You expressed so much faith in all of us and provided such wonderful guidance along our weekend journey. It was all so valuable- the activities we could directly use with children in addition to those that inspired us to reflect on our practices and interactions with children and adults.
Nicole M. Parent and Teacher
”I’m still on a high after the past weekend! Lara came all the way upstate to offer her Flow and Grow Kids Yoga Teacher Training and all of the participants absolutely loved it. It’s motivated many to embark on the journey to become a certified yoga instructor by doing the 200-hour training. It was clearly an inspirational weekend!
— Karen Score, Owner of Yoga Mandali in Saratoga Springs, NY
“I frequently use teaching tools within my practice as a Pediatric Speech-Language Pathologist that I learned from Lara during teacher training last year. I was so impressed with Lara’s knowledge and passion for yoga, and I’ve recommended her to family and friends for private yoga classes (for both adults and children.) Her young students love her class, learn from it, and are eager to return!
— Lynn V., Speech Pathologist
