Farm Focus: Meet Michelle Wing and It’s Yoga Kids!

 

Michelle Wing is a Frog Hollow CSA member, local business owner and mom. Michelle found Frog Hollow CSA just over a year ago. She’d always loved the idea of joining a CSA but worried her family wouldn’t be able to eat quite so many veggies each week. She was delighted to discover Frog Hollow CSA at Town School for Boys in San Francisco. A box full of delicious fruit – now that was something her family would definitely eat.

We had the pleasure of spending a Sunday at her Yoga studio in San Francisco’s Presidio district a couple of weeks ago. She’s created a very special yoga practice – yoga designed for kids!

Michelle discovered yoga in the early 1990s and has been hooked ever since. At the start of her career she worked in corporate sales and marketing, but after her children were born, she was eager for a change of pace. Then, one fateful day while resting in Savasana, the vision for her company popped into her head.

10 years later, It’s Yoga Kids is a thriving business. They offer yoga instruction to kids and of all ages and abilities. In addition to classes offered at the San Francisco yoga studio, It’s Yoga Kids teachers bring Michelle and her children their curriculum to after school programs across the bay and in Los Angeles. They even do private events. Cool huh?

Most recently Michelle has begun to share her practice with fellow yoga instructors by creating an It’s Yoga Kids Teacher Training Program. We saw the program first hand that Sunday, as the studio was full of program participants observing the class.

If you’re interested in attending one of Michelle’s classes or bringing her team to your school, check out http://www.itsyogakids.com/
