Building a Brighter Future one Child at a Time
Melissa Yount has been practicing yogini for the past nine years. She graduated from Cal Poly San Luis Obispo in 2004 with a BS in Child Development. Through her classes at Cal Poly she used the unique approach of integrating yoga into many of her school projects. What she found was that children truly love yoga and they wanted to learn more about the poses and breathing techniques. They would continually ask when the next yoga time was and she would catch them doing poses on their own. This interest and passion to learn from the children led her to pursue her interest and passion in kids’ yoga further. In 2006 she began her rigorous year program through Yogakids International and graduated in October 2007 becoming a Certified Yogakids Facilitator and Yogakids Trainer. Yogakids has been featured in Time, Child, ABC News, CNN, PBS, and Yoga Journal and has been endorsed by Dr. Deepak Chopra and Andrew Weil, MD. Her year training with Yogakids along with her highly valued education earned through Cal Poly has given her the skills and knowledge to provide the best preschool yoga program in the area.
