Kids, yoga, and teaching are truly Sara Weis' passions. When the idea for Go Go Yoga Kids: Empower Kids For Life Through Yoga came to Sara, she knew it was the perfect way to share her excitement and strong belief in the positive power of yoga with others. "Introducing kids to the lifelong benefits of yoga in fun, creative, and engaging ways is something I feel very passionate about," said Sara. "It is my hope that anyone who has kids or works with kids will be able to use Go Go Yoga Kids with confidence and success. The benefits kids receive from yoga are too important to miss. Now is the perfect time to start using yoga to empower kids for life!" Sara is a certified kid and adult yoga instructor who makes yoga with kids or adults part of her daily routine. She has invested countless hours creating and leading yoga games, lessons, and movement ideas with thousands of kids. Over the years she has learned what works, and just as importantly, what doesn't work with kids and yoga. "I feel strongly about my goal of having all of the ideas, strategies, and lessons in one place so this book can be a complete resource for others to use when introducing yoga to kids," she said. Sara holds a master's degree in Education and has over seventeen years of teaching experience in the public schools. She currently teaches creative writing classes for elementary and junior high aged students. Sara also leads kids yoga classes for a nationally known health and fitness club. When she is not teaching, writing, or practicing yoga, Sara enjoys spending time outdoors with her three yogi kids and her husband and resides in West Des Moines, Iowa.
