LUCY LANEY ELEMENTARY
Published 1/11/21: Last November I had the pleasure of teaching 1st-3rd graders at Lucy Laney Elementary. It was such a beautiful experience, and I learned so much from them. I look forward to getting back into Lucy Laney soon to continue sharing yogic and meditative teachings with the students. I would also love to create a program that would allow me to give the teachers tools to incorporate yoga & meditation into their classrooms.
Lucy Laney was the feature of a documentary made in 2019 called, Love them First: Lessons from Lucy Laney, which began when a local Minneapolis reporter met Lucy Laney principal, Mauri Melander Friestleben, while she was giving an impassioned speech to the North Minneapolis community after several deadly shootings near the school. View the entire documentary here.

I will be teaching a group of Kindergarten through 5th graders, guiding them through Kundalini yoga & meditation. I’m looking forward to starting them off with Shanti The Yogi: Mountain Adventure," by Snatam Kaur, a beautiful story that brings children through the practice of yoga and meditation through story-telling and visualization.
Founded in 1976, Perspectives, Inc. is an award-winning human service agency that addresses community's core issues around homelessness; racial disparity, poverty, trauma, mental and chemical health issues, and nutrition.
The founders and leadership recognize the unique and essential relationship between a mother and child, as well as the societal consequences when disrupted. Therefore, the rebuilding and strengthening of the mother and child relationship became the cornerstone of our programs. Learn more about this wonderful organization at perspectives-family.org.
