~ ERICA GOODWIN~
Training Certificates or Qualifications:
I am a Certified Rainbow Kids Yoga Teacher, a Licensed Practitioner of Chakradance Kids, and am currently completing 200 hours RYT.
As a complement to teaching yoga I am a practicing Emotional Health & Transformation Coach.
Yoga Influences: I fell in love with yoga after experiencing its healing aspects first hand, allowing me to release tension, clear my head, and feel free for the first time in my life. Regular Yin practice has been my medicine, helping me peel back the layers of self-discovery and break free from my own childhood traumas.
Inspirational teachers: My inspiration to teach yoga for kids are my own 2 children, Jake (7) and Lochie (4).
Background: I struggled to identify with a profession that worked well with my family - I didn’t want to give up being a hands on mum yet wanted to be able to be true to myself at the same time. Armed with a passion to create and exhaust my imagination, a deep desire to connect better with my own children, the desire to reflect a positive sense of self and general well-being for my family and a love for kids in general - all this without compromising my need to relax and have fun.
Believe it or not I found the answer! Kids Yoga - and the rest is history.
Why I practice: My philosophy is to meet children where they are energetically, adapting my classes to the present moment. All classes are 100% co-created with the kids, no two classes are the same and kids are engaged because they get to play pivotal roles in the class.
Why I teach: I believe that kids yoga is not just for children due to its nature. Yoga for kids focuses onconnection and FUN above all else. Therefore an invitation is always open for caregivers to join in.
