Halle completed her first yoga teacher training program in 2016 and began teaching at a yoga and dance studio where she took her very first yoga class. She first started teaching adult vinyasa, yin, & restorative classes – classes she still teaches and loves to teach this very day. Teaching kids yoga was never part of her plan, but there were a lot of kiddo dancers interested in learning how to tumble to enhance their dance routines. Halle comes from a background in gymnastics and jumped on the opportunity to start leading acro classes at the studio. She found herself implementing so many teachings from yoga into these tumbling classes, and eventually Happy Me Kids Yoga was born.

Halle began taking every opportunity to teach kids yoga anywhere that had an interest - studios, schools, libraries, camps, daycares, sports practices – you name it. The kids were not only engaged, but you could tell they were growing. Classes of course were always fun…playing is how children learn…but Halle was blown away by how quickly they grasped the power of their breath and thinking about just one thing at a time (this is what we call meditating). She couldn’t believe these little balls of energy were asking to relax and asking for imagination time (or shh-vasana) just halfway through class. Halle immediately fell in love with her kids’ love for yoga.

Halle’s goal in all her classes is to give kids the opportunity to learn they have the power to change their world with just one breath…to help them discover their tools to create mindful movement, connection to breath, and healthy ways for expression…to show them what her first yoga class showed her: they always have the power to choose happy.
