Yoga With Maria
Meet the Teacher
Hi! I’m Maria McNeal, a certified kids' yoga teacher and certified meditation and mindfulness teacher, passionate about helping others to live a balanced, joyful, and mindful life. I have ten years of experience as a primary elementary teacher and am a mom to my own little budding yogi. My approach to kids' yoga is fun and engaging, with a focus on social emotional learning through storytelling. I believe kids' yoga to be a powerful tool in fostering self-regulation skills, confidence, and character skills, while also improving balance and coordination, building healthy muscles, and encouraging body awareness.
