“I really believe that yoga helped our teams stay physically and mentally healthy this season. In the past we would have 3 to 4 players out with injuries ranging from ACL’s, pulled muscles and fatigue. This season we have had zero, and are heading for a record breaking season in wins. We’re currently in 1st place for district and ranked 4th in Texas, thanks in part to our yoga training all season.”
Thanks YoPlay!!!

I began my Yoga practice a little over 12 years ago, I have benefited so much from having yoga in my life. Often the mat reflects the rest of your life, if I can control my breath, I can control my life; find balance in a pose, I can find balance in life. I have gained confidence, strength and flexibility on and off the mat. However, the mat is where I get grounded.
I chose to teach yoga because I thoroughly enjoy encouraging others to discover themselves through their own practice. I found my passion teaching kids first by teaching a functional fitness kids camp in Frisco, TX. I then wanted to find a way to teach kids yoga and I found the YoPlay Yoga For Kids® program. Now I get to play yoga everyday with kids and I love it!
Elaina began her yoga practice 15 years ago and when her kids came along not only did she continue but her kids enjoyed joining in with her. Due to their interest and intrigue, she decided to get trained in kids yoga and became certified with YoPlay Yoga For Kids and is now a thriving kids’ yoga instructor with her own business Mini Buddhas Kids Yoga in the Naples, FL area. She also is a trainer for YoPlay Yoga For Kids®.
