They say March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.  As it straddles the winter/spring season, this month is filled with transition and change.

I spoke with Jacalyn Warshauer whom I met back in 2012 when she taught for Yogi Beans.  Since that time, Jacalyn and I both became mothers to our own Beans. Jacalyn opened up Wild Type Learning, a therapeutic learning experience for children and families to actively awaken their senses, strengthen the mind, body & heart connection and tune into the wisdom of nature.  Enjoy our conversation!

Jacalyn has found her inspiration to create Wild Type Learning from a passion to support young children and families; her love and connection to our natural world; the awareness to the importance of fostering a strong connection to mind, body, and heart; and a growing understanding of the true needs of the “whole-child” through the relationship with her two sons.

Our theme for February is Diversity & Inclusion. Listen to our conversation with friend and fellow children’s yoga teacher and entrepreneur, SonJoria Sydnor about the importance of representation and inclusion in children’s yoga spaces.

SonJoria explains the difference between diversity and inclusion and offers ways that all of us can work toward making wellness spaces more equitable and inclusive for all.

This is an important conversation and I hope you will listen in and take SonJoria’s words to heart.  Yogi Beans is hosting SonJoria for her signature workshop When Black Kids Do Yoga on July 16, 2023.
