Monkinya

Hello Monkinya family!
After a long summer break, we’re back! Recharged, renewed, and so excited to share fresh classes, workshops, tools + mindful tips with you 🤍

And what better way to begin than with this reminder:

“I am calm and peaceful. I create peace for myself.”

This season, we’re stepping into peace, presence, and playful parenting together.

Last weekend, my daughter (age 3) reminded me that children don’t just talk about their experiences, but live them again through art, play, movement and imagination.
Earlier that day, she fell at the park and scraped her both knees. Later, as we were colouring yoga poses together after a short and fun practice, she pointed to the drawing, coloured the knees blue and said: “He’s got two ouchies, Mommy!”
And just like that, her experience found a voice through crayons.
This moment brought me back to the approach, which as an educator, I find closest to my values; that “Children have a hundred languages”.
Not all of them are verbal, some are drawings, movements, sounds, or stillness… Our role is to slow down enough to listen.

I’m excited to share that I’ll be leading Level 1 of ‘s Trauma-Sensitive Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher Training (0–6 years) — the same training I completed with Katie a few years ago. 🥹
It had a big impact on how I teach and how I connect with children, both on and off the mat. 🩵
This level focuses on children aged 0–6 years, and we’ll explore topics including child development, the nervous system, yoga beyond the mat, and best practices for leading trauma-informed classes.

If this training has been on your radar, this is the last chance to join Level 1 before Level 2 launches online in September. 💜

📅 Dates: June 6-8
📍 Location: Port Moody, BC
