About

My Practice

My name is Stephanie McClelland, a Certified Kidding Around Yoga Instructure and Occupational Therapy Assistant with Kids Learning Therapy LLC.  

​

While working in the school setting, my focus is on fine/gross motor strength and coordination for handwriting skills. I also provide self-regulation tools for emotional self-awareness. Teaching mindfulness, kindness and empathy are always incorporated in my sessions.  I think it is safe to say, we ALL have to learn to manage our emotions, allowing us to RESET.  I decided to take a step further in this direction by getting my certification from Kidding Around Yoga.  It is my hope to spread mindfulness to children everywhere by starting up my own company – A GROWTH MINDSET Children’s Yoga LLC.

​

 I feel in my heart that it is important to start teaching these tools, early.  Heightening their awareness and guiding them to incorporate mindfulness in each individual little journeys through life. 

Through my own personal journey, I have met AMAZING Therapist and Yogie’s of all kinds who have helped guide me to this place.  I cannot begin to express my gratitude towards these people in my life. 

​

Teaching traditional yoga using kindness, empathy and a growth mindset to guide our practice. Encouragement to learn coping skills for emotional regulation and appropriate social emotional habits.  Teaching children tools to guide them through making choices and learning through mistakes.  Through a growth mindset, they learn that they can do hard things, practice makes progress and understand they are capable of responding instead of reacting. 

​

 I have hopes that mindfulness will spread throughout to make this world a better and safer place for our little ones. 

As KAY yoga would say -
