Kula Yoga Kids is an outreach program for the kids in Volusia County Schools from preschool to high school, bringing yoga, mindfulness, and meditation practices to the kids both virtually and in-person at the school campuses.

We love sharing yoga, meditation, and mindfulness practices with the inner child in all of us. Below are some classes and events we have gratefully shared over the years. We have many expressions and below are some images of a few. We have dedicated our home time in 2020-21 in part to create this space on the web to make it easier than ever to come practice yoga with us. We host in-person classes when possible, at multiple studios as well as outdoor venues. So you can connect with us indoors, outdoors, in studio, or from your phone. Be sure to sign up for our newsletter and check out our calendar of Live Classes & Events for our latest happenings!

 

Michele brings a unique perspective to the yoga community through her life experiences as a mother, yoga teacher, and many years in the healthcare industry as a PharmD who practiced in hospitals such as Piedmont, Emory University, and Shepherd (Spinal) Center (Atlanta). She is a 500 hour registered yoga teacher (RYT) with Yoga Alliance. Although she has practiced many different types of yoga for over 25 years, her main focus is Aerial Yoga as she discovered it in 2013 and instantly loved it as it provided instant relief from her neck and upper back pain from a skiing injury many years before. As yoga has drastically improved her quality of life, she felt it was too beneficial both therapeutically and mentally not to share it with others. She loves constantly expanding her understanding of these ancient practices of yoga, and is always in a process of learning and teaching.
Michele’s classes are fun while therapeutic, informational and experiential in nature. Each session is a guided journey through the body, using the breath, and inviting the mind to align, creating union of the three. She understands through her own healing journey, that wherever we can bring alignment, breath and intelligence into the body, healing occurs.

As her yoga journey progressed, she found another passion teaching kids yoga as it is a practice of connecting to the inner child within us all, inviting play and joy in, lighting the path to our own divinity. For it is not a matter of if magic exists or not, it’s that we search.
