Meet your lead group teacher
My name is Vedi, and I am honored to be the newest addition to Self Sacred. Passionate about nurturing positive mental health in children and evermore interested in the holistic approach to child development, I have recently become certified as an RCYT-200 (Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher) with the Yoga Alliance. I am also currently working towards my bachelor’s degree in Social Work, with aspirations of working in the field of child advocacy and applying my knowledge in the field of holistic mental health to counteract and help children cope with the effects of child maltreatment.
To gain experience in the world of child advocacy, I am also an active volunteer with Kristi House Child Advocacy Center. I am thrilled to work alongside Alessandra at Self Sacred to provide a safe space for your children to be free, explore themselves, and step into who they are meant to be. I sincerely thank you for taking the time to read about me and I look forward to meeting all of you and your little yogis!
Dear reader,
“ I realized from an early age that there was no place where I could express myself and learn about ways to cope with anger, stress, and anxiety. I longed for a place where I could be free, learn life skills, create friendships and connection. To understand life outside the regular school format.
I wanted to have a space where I could connect with my world, with nature and with myself. Creating Self Sacred gives that opportunity to others. With Self Sacred I can offer growing children and little ones new doors to explore themselves, and the world. With Self Sacred I can help create healthy minds that can express freely and openly.
Self Sacred can give the opportunity for children to learn about who they are in the world. Parents can learn coping skills to everyday problems such as anxiety, everyday stress, life lessons, and more for their children, family and even themselves. With classes that stretch and diversify from kindness and community to Botany and Chakras.
I deeply thank you for stopping by the site and I hope to see you all in class.”
