Hi, I am Kerstin, I am a qualified kids & teens yoga teacher and a registered yoga teacher with Yoga Australia. I have been training with YogaED, YOGAZEIT and the Wisdom Yoga Institute in Perth WA. The trainings have included trauma informed practices, teaching kids, teens & adults, making yoga accessible for all abilities, ages and bodies, and an intensive mindfulness program (MBSR). I am also trained in restorative and restful yoga practice as well mindful meditation and have a special interest in the power of movement, mindfulness and rest for children as well as for their parents, carers and teachers.

I am a mother of two amazing children who are now in their tween and teen years and have also worked with children in early learning center’s (ELC) as a qualified Early Childhood Educator for over a decade.

In the role of a parent and working with children, I have experienced that children from the youngest ages are faced with stressful and high-pressure situations as the demands on kids in primary schools, high schools and ELC’s are increasing, as well as in extracurricular activities and socially.

I have found myself overwhelmed and stressed, juggling parenting, work and family commitments. Yoga, mindfulness meditation and breathing helped me immensely with my own struggles and immediately made a difference in my own family and with my children. Since then, I knew I wanted to teach yoga to children, and I am passionate about sharing the mental, physical and emotional health benefits of yoga and mindfulness.

I have since taught mindfulness & movement in my own kid’s school classes as well as an afterschool program, and I am committed to making the physical, mental and emotional benefits of mindfulness and movement available to school communities.
