“...hen she left Yoga, she was happy and calm. And she told me that the Yoga helped her. The next day she put on a meditation that she heard in your class and I found her sitting on the floor, meditating. I really feel that it is good for her and she and I spoke about it. Thank you for your initiative and for giving with love. Yoga with you is a meaningful part of my kids’ week.”

“Since starting to work with Rena, I have noticed that I am more focused and breathing deeper.”
“Rena helped both of my kids find ways to calm themselves, notice their feelings and find positive ways to work out their energy and emotions through yoga and various other Mindfulness activities… Rena has a calmness about her that is so very inviting to all ages. She is able to meet each student where they are physically and mentally; find ways to diversify the activities to make sure everyone has an opportunity and feels safe. She offers time to every student to focus, share and reflect on their world. She verbalizes her own thoughts and emotions as well as the directions in such a way that all children are comfortable and confident participating in some way, regardless of how shy or outgoing they might be."
“It’s been years and M still uses the Mindful Toolbox that she made with you to help her calm down.”
