Movement, Mindfulness and Me Family Yoga is a group of teachers and therapists focusing on and certified in children's yoga and mindfulness that has expanded to include chair yoga, adaptive yoga and other specialty areas!
We have undergone a major renovation in service provision durng the past 6 months and our website is "Under Construction" as we change items and reflect our new programs! Please contact us if you need assistance and share our information with any and all that you may feel interested!
We thank you for being a part of our mailing list! Keep reading for a little more background about MMM...
As parents, therapists, educators, counselors, adult yogi's, and people who just simply love to work with children, we work hard to provide a foundation of success for children and those teaching children, and yoga can be a big key to their success.
The benefits of yoga, teaching one to be aware of connecting body awareness, movement, emotions and more with their own breath, has been shown to improve self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-confidence both physically and emotionally! Studies also show improved attention, decrease anxiety, improved strength, balance, etc. & an increase in overall ease & health when practicing mindfulness and yoga postures!
Our teachers love being able to share the practice of yoga & mindfulness in a fun engaging way that reaches out and connects to the children, adults & entire families that participate in MMM’s classes. All of our children’s instructors hold not only their RYT (registered yoga teacher) but also the RCYT (registered children's yoga teacher) certification and many of them have certifications with Mindful Schools and other higher education entities. All teachers are RYT’s registered with Yoga Alliance and each works in other capacities, therapists, nurses, etc. but all thoroughly enjoy teaching skills that our students can use to assist them in the life “off the mat” that we each face every-day!
About Our Practice
Founded by an occupational therapist in 2017, we provide yoga & mindfulness workshops to children as well as families, seniors and specialty interest groups. MMM was created to support the growing awareness of the benefits of yoga to children and families.
As a parent and pediatric therapist who found yoga later in life, our founder realized how important sharing the practice of yoga with children could be. Combining a love for every type of kooky kid behaviors with the grounded understanding of yoga, Movement Mindfulness and Me was born within a local school system in 2017.
Once interest took hold, and local adults were interested the next step was easy... Bring kids yoga to the community we love and live in! We were surprised at first when we were also asked to teach to local specialty populations but WHY NOT? Yoga & Mindfulness can benefit nearly everyone can it not? It is not limited to any one group of persons!
Who We Serve!
At Movement, Mindfulness and Me we believe in supporting all persons. Yoga & Mindfulness can benefit nearly everyone can it not? It is not limited to any one group of persons or physical types!
We are happy to provide MMM’s signature “Someone Who Loves Me and Me” to both pre-schoolers and middle school ages alike, our “Young Yogis” children’s, tween and TEEN ONLY! Workshops, as well as workshops for caregivers/ parents.
We are also happy to staff tween and TEEN yoga, chair yoga & gentle yoga in area rec or commnity centers. We provide yoga for dementia/memory care & yoga for those with different abilities within various locations in our communities including therapy offices, day centers, schools and pre-schools!
Most sessions occur within the setting of existing yoga studios in the greater Fort Mill area or within other programs such as libraries, senior centers, pre-schools, private schools, as well as neighborhood community centers etc. We work with our groups to provide classes and workshops within the space most natural to them.
If you are looking for anything specific, please do let us know as we'd be happy to look into creating it for you and yours.
Thank you !
The Movement, Mindfulness and Me Family Yoga Team
