Jenny Dayton, RYT and Co-owner of Mountain Yoga Shala, completed a 50 hour intensive therapeutic yoga for children training with Global Family Yoga and Mira Binzen, E-RYT, RCYT in July 2017. Jenny is now certified to teach therapeutic applications of yoga to children and families and implement Anxious to AwesomeTM (A2A), a program created by Mira that has helped thousands of children cope with stress and anxiety. "I learned more in a week about myself and about yoga than I ever have in my life. Mira's program was so authentic and she was so knowledgeable about all aspects of yoga. Through this certification Mira has given me all the tools I need to support children, families and professionals who work with children on a daily basis through yoga. Most people associate yoga with the physical postures (asana), but there's so much more to yoga than the physical practice. Mindfulness practices such as meditation, breathing techniques and the use of essential oils can make a world of difference in our crazy world. I suffer from anxiety and even though I am a yoga teacher, suffer from stress. Everyone does! What's important is we learn the techniques to manage stress and learn how to improve our quality of life no matter what our diagnosis." -Jenny Dayton
