Storytime Yoga—Yoga for Toddlers (Parent Participation required)

Yoga and Mindfulness are incredible tools to help calm the mind and body. Children greatly benefit from this practice, as it supports their physical and emotional health, increasing strength, coordination and flexibility while also giving them the tools for emotional regulation, increasing focus, decreasing stress and anxiety, and boosting self esteem.

Storytime Yoga uses the power of story and imagination to teach children yoga poses, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques to increase overall health and happiness while connecting with the important adults in their lives. We’ll bark in downward dog, jump like a frog, and smell the flowers, all while gaining the benefits listed above.

Extra information

A laptop with WiFi and a camera are required. A yoga mat is helpful but not necessary. Wear comfortable clothing!

About Me

Hey there!
I’m Colleen Wisor…mama, educator, yoga + mindfulness instructor, and Founder of Wise Star Wellness. My life’s work is dedicated to empowering children and families with the tools necessary to live the happiest and healthiest life possible.
I’ve spent my entire professional career working with children and families: as a program coordinator for a children’s non-profit, an early childhood classroom teacher, and, for the better part of the last decade, as a yoga and mindfulness instructor. I hold yoga certifications from Three Sisters Yoga and Karma Kids yoga in New York City and earned my Master's Degree in Early Childhood Education from Columbia University.

I believe the foundation of a healthy life is emotional wellness, skills that are often missing in our increasingly fast-paced, technology-rich and oft high-pressure society. Over the course of my career, I’ve supported hundreds of children, teaching them tools for self-regulation, stress relief, and self esteem.

Out of my 10 years of teaching was born a desire to create a safe, inviting space to cultivate deeper connections with families in order to foster social-emotional health and wellness and enhance communication skills in children and their parents. To take time out of their day to do less, not more—and reap all of the incredible benefits. I'm excited to provide families with the opportunity to join me online and in-home for classes to allow them to unplug and reconnect with each other in order to live their happiest, healthiest lives possible.

Yoga is a way of life! All you have to do is set aside some time and leave the rest to me. The process will make you feel better. You will enjoy this journey:) Yoga is much more than what we see on social media ;) Yoga was first referenced in the ancient sacred Rig Ved literature. Yoga = Yuj/Yoke/unite-union-joining (with the divine wisdom of the universe). Yoga, according to yoga sutra philosophy, is concentration. It is a holistic science based on yoga philosophy. It encompasses the whole person: body, mind, intellect, and consciousness. We will concentrate on your personalized approach!! Especially for you! You will have my whole attention. Bring back the ability to breathe, relax, and regenerate while performing some amazing asanas, kriya, mudra, and pranayama. There are many more. After the practice, you will feel revitalized. Consider it. These sensations are positive and will carry over into your daily lives. Take a deep breath and don't think too hard. Schedule a session and enjoy the ride! I teach overseas, in addition to business organizations and individual customers. Aside from Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa, Himalayan, and Iyengar yoga, I understand you and work accordingly. So, let's see you on the mat. NAMASTE

Sara
Yoga, meditation, and breathwork teacher invites you to find the balance and connect your body, mind and soul
Each class is designed to foster deep connections within oneself. I prefer reading the individual's/collective energy. This allows me to design a nurturing and empowering practice, ensuring that it resonates with everyone present. I emphasise the importance of honouring your own body and its limits, encouraging each participant to listen to their own intuition and let their moves be the moves of truth. My guidance is rooted in traditional practices, but I adapt the sequences to make them accessible and beneficial for all levels. Moreover, as yoga is not only asanas, I love to include meditation and pranayamas in the classes while I incorporate live singing (in-person classes). I use my voice to enhance the atmosphere and create a deeper connection to the practice and one's body, as the frequency of singing is healing.

Lorena Lozano

Classes can be private or group and are taught in both English and Spanish. I offer in-person and online classes. Please check the price for group classes as they are different from private sessions.
