MISSION STATEMENT

At Sprout Kids Yoga & Mindfulness we promote the development and happiness of your child through yoga and mindfulness.

Sprout offers an imaginative, uplifting, and communal experience in a positive therapeutic environment that helps our mini-yogis reach their full potential. We incorporate stories, music and games to learn poses, sequences and relaxation techniques.

Our mission is to provide a family-friendly child-based yoga practice that supports children of all needs by promoting movement and boosting self-esteem - fostering a healthy, happy, and balanced life on and off the mat.

ABOUT THE FOUNDERS

She graduated with a Master’s degree in Speech-Language Pathology with a bilingual extension from Columbia University. Carolina has years of experience in the evaluation and treatment of children with a variety of communication disorders and delays.

GROWING TOGETHER

Together, the sister duo are growing and applying their academic and professional background to strengthen Sprout Kids Yoga. Carolina’s speech therapy background offers a unique and engaging way to connect movement and speech-language development skills. While Daniella’s deep understanding of developmental milestones, kinesthetics, and sensory integration, offers a holistic break down of Sprout’s core foundation - the mind and body. At Sprout, we offer yoga-based exercises for improving: pre-linguistic communication, play skills, breath support for speech, motor planning, vocabulary development, fine and gross motor coordination skills, language skills, sensory integration, and emergent literacy skills.

Our founders are certified kids yoga teachers who have taught in a variety of settings including: private studios, homes, schools, camps, and private events/parties in Miami and New York.
