Bringing yoga to children, teenagers, and adults through Yoginos: Yoga for Youth is a dream come true for her. The Yoginos program connects her interests in language, literature, brain development, yoga, and environmental awareness in a program well-grounded in the best practices of education and learning. She is infinitely grateful to Beth Reese, founder of Yoginos: Yoga for Youth, for allowing her to be a part of this incredible program.
Meredith completed the Anusara Immersion and Teacher Training with Christina Sell at Breath and Body Yoga in 2010. She credits yoga and her teachers with bringing her back into a relationship with her body and her self, an invaluable gift. "The practice of yoga has given me the confidence and strength to seek myself under all the layers of doubt and fear. My wish as an instructor is to help others seek themselves and to awaken to their own power and light."
