Kindred Spirits Guest Post: ‘I Am So Brave’ Affirmation

By Denise Nobile

Denise Nobile, founder/educator of Youth Nation Yoga, is a registered children’s yoga teacher, a certified Mindful Schools educator, and an educator at Somers Middle School in Westchester, N.Y. As a classroom teacher at both the elementary and middle school levels, she’s discovered how stressed our children are today. With the demands of school, extracurricular activities, friend and family obligations, and technology use, now more than ever it’s important for kids to slow down, pause and take a breath. As an educator, Nobile intends to bring a movement and mindfulness practice to as many children as possible, providing them with the tools to navigate life's challenges with greater ease.
