Welcome to Playful Zen Kids! My name is Amanda. I am a former certified early childhood teacher with a passion for teaching kids through the environment around them. I am also a kids-certified yoga teacher, and I am currently working to finish my 200-hour yoga certification. In 2020, before COVID-19, I completed my kids’ yoga training. I began using yoga in the classroom to help my students find calm in the chaos surrounding them. Yoga and mindfulness, with a social-emotional foundation, transformed my behavior management and my students’ behaviors. I continued using yoga until I left the classroom with noticeable results. I am now working to empower parents, students, and their teachers to find peace wherever they may be.
