Included Electives
Yoga
Meagan Janson, a certified Kids Yoga instructor, alternates weeks with Kidz Music. From your brain to your toes, yoga uses every part of your body to build balance, strength, and focus. Games, themes, poses, relaxation, and meditation make every class a fun experience. Yoga helps each child bring balance into their lives using movement and expression!!
Meagan fell in love with yoga when her husband, then boyfriend, took her to her first class eight years ago. She dove right in and in 2011 earned her 200 RYT certification through Bamboo Moves Yoga in Englewood, New Jersey.
She has always loved kids so it was only natural for her to earn her certification to teach children’s yoga. She achieved this through Karma Kids in New York City where she also completed a Yoga in the Preschool Classroom training. Meagan hopes that all of her students walk away from her classes feeling confident and with tools they can use to self regulate their emotions. Meagan’s approach to teaching is compassionate, playful, and always creative.
When Meagan is not practicing or teaching yoga she enjoys spending time with her husband and two daughters, connecting with nature, ice skating, and watching her 5 year old Irish dance.
She also earned her certification to teach prenatal yoga from The Prenatal Yoga Center in New York City and postnatal yoga for mothers and babies through Baby Om in Brooklyn.
Prior to teaching yoga, Meagan worked with children with Autism and plans on studying yoga for special needs children in the near future.
