During her travels and time teaching grades kindergarten through fifth grade in Guatemala, Australia, Canada, and the United States, Giselle witnessed the need to address childhood illiteracy, obesity, and stress. She blended her passions of yoga, mindfulness, and education to create books, card decks, and educational resources to provide classroom teachers, school staff, coaches, and parents with the tools to bring yoga and mindfulness to children everywhere.   Connect with us: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kidsyogastories  Website: https://www.kidsyogastories.com/ Shop: https://shop.kidsyogastories.com/
