One of my main goals post certification is to work on an organization to implement yoga + mindfulness into our school systems 🤍 I have a passion for education, the health and well-being of our students and serving my community. I’m so excited to continue to work towards this goal. In fact, I wrote a short essay for one of my graduate courses on my observation of increased chronic misbehavior in students and the efficacy of yoga in order to mitigate this educational, subjective and societal issue. Feel free to explore this semi-formal presentation my ideas and findings behind the potential of yoga in our school systems:

What is yoga?
Well, that’s a good question! If you’re new to yoga, it’s easy to get caught up in what exactly it is. Isn’t it just stretching?? No!! In fact, stretching, or postures, or asanas, are just a small part in the big world of yoga!
Yoga’s objective definition is a form of self-discipline that restrains mental activities in order to be free of afflictions. Subjectively, it can be many things! And it really is so much more than just touching your toes!! ☺️ flexibility isn’t required!
But don’t worry about memorizing all of this, but keep it in mind at your next yoga class or as you go to sign up for your first 🤍

hi, I’m parker 🦋
I will be receiving my Yoga Teaching Certification in November and I can’t wait to see where this incredible journey brings me! A bit about me- I am a certified educator, a photographer, business manager, current graduate student and dog mom! I like to stay busy 😅 especially with my incredible husband, Dylan, who is my cheerleader, travel buddy and sometimes-willing yoga student!
I found yoga in December of 2021, a couple months after a devastating heath scare. I decided to approach my number of illnesses the holistic way, yoga following suit. I instantly fell in love with all that it has to offer. The autonomy over my own body, a way to instantly escape and work through afflictions and to feel strong through the progress I see through poses and mindset.
I hope to share this love with all 🤍 welcome to my page, I’m so glad you’re here! I hope to share my experience for you to potentially connect to and find strength within your own story 🦋
