Micki (RYT 200) is engaged, the mom of three teens and is currently a Special Education Aide at S.S.I.S.D. After teaching in the childcare setting for over 15 years, she realized something needed to change about how we are addressing the behavior of kids nowadays. She started her own practice of meditation and inner child healing in January of 2020. And discovered that focusing inwardly is the first (and most important) step toward becoming a better teacher and parent. Introducing breath work, balance challenges, fun books and games to her students has improved their outlook in the classroom, on the mat, and out in the real world. “I want our children to feel a sense of community here, to be welcomed and heard.” Obtaining her 200 hour certification from One Soul Yoga in 2023 has been one of the most monumental achievements of her life, because making a difference in the youth of today is her ultimate goal!
