In this episode of Yoga Radio with Katrina Ariel:
Do you have little ones, or children of any age?
Growing up has its challenges, including wild hormones and emotions, pressure from school and social circles, and physical changes.
Kids of all ages are finding yoga to be immensely helpful. In fact, there are studies with children who have been labeled ADHD showing that yoga improves their ability to focus and harness their own emotions in positive ways, and helps them perform better in school.
In this show I’ll be speaking with author Maryellen Murphy Ruggiero, author of The Little Lotus Learns About Wellness, and Grounded Yoga teacher and co-founder Cheryl Crawford. Listen in and learn how yoga can be an empowering practice for all ages!

Cheryl Crawford, mother of triplets and Certified Yoga Teacher, is the co-grounder of Grounded Yoga. She’s been teaching her whole life. First to her stuffed animals and to her younger brother (when he sat still) and then in later years to the children of Atlanta in Fulton County Public Schools where she worked as an Elementary School Teacher and Curriculum Coordinator.
Cheryl began her yoga journey soon after her three daughters were born, and as her practice evolved, it became clear to her that she had to blend and balance her new dedication to yoga with her lifelong passion for teaching. She is committed to sharing her experience of artfully finding the balance between serious alignment and playful expansion. Cheryl listens to the wisdom of the children and teaches from her highest self.
