Taking Flight - Unleashing Inner Potential
A wellness program for kids ages 5 and up! The integration of mind/body practices are introduced to guide one in learning practices to enhance their overall well being. My joy is assisting each individual by using tools to ease stress, anxiety, a whole food, plant based diet, exercise, sleep, etc. and finding ones purpose.

What some of the students experienced:
“I had a great time learning polarity yoga. My
favorite position was “happy sitting”. I think it is
amazing how so many problems are helped by so little
positions. I think the “wood chopper” is the one I
use most. I am constantly eating too much ice cream.
Anyway, I think these moves will come in handy later
and I will remember them for life. Thanks again!”
“Thank you so much for teaching us Polarity Yoga, it
helps me so much!!! And also your headache thing
really works! My sister has a boy friend crisis last
night so I had a super headache. Thank you a ton!”
“Thank you for teaching us yoga. Today we had an end
of the year chorus party. I ate way too much junk and
I felt like I was going to be sick so I did the wood
chopper. The same thing happened at the state fair,
it really comes in handy!”
“I know that I’ll remember Polarity yoga forever. My
favorite position is head-molding. I got my first
headache and I did head-molding and I didn’t have a
headache anymore. I also taught my mom the
Side-to-Side Ha posture; she needed it!
“Thank you so much for teaching us Polarity yoga. My
favorite one is the lion roar. I really liked the
yoga because I learned a way to help my body work
better.”
“I did enjoy polarity yoga. My favorite pose was
probably the wise man. It helps me get to sleep.
Thank you very much.”
“Thank you so much for teaching me Polarity yoga. I
can use it for headaches, stomach aches and
butterflies. My favorite one was probably the wise
man. I liked this one because it relaxes me.
Polarity yoga will stay with me for a very long time.”
