Recognizing that children need balance and focus in their lives, Lani Rosen-Gallagher (M.Ed., RYT 200, RCYT) first incorporated yoga into her daily schedule while teaching first grade in Coney Island in Brooklyn, NY in from 1997-2003. Dozens of kid’s yoga and mindfulness trainings later, she created Full of Joy Yoga and set out on the path of bringing yoga to kids into their school day.  She has taught thousands of children in preschools, public schools, yoga studios, libraries and events from the Bay Area to New Haven, CT where she is currently located.  
Mindful Yoga Breaks® was created with the intention of inspiring teachers to use “mindful breaks” during their school day as a way to calm, focus & allow students to self-regulate. Lani Rosen-Gallagher (M.Ed., RYT 200, RCYT) of Full of Joy Yoga & Jennifer Byer (RYT 200, RCYT) of YoPlay Yoga for Kids® are passionate about improving the lives of children through yoga and mindfulness. They have combined their efforts, passion & their life work, to collaborate & bring this new mindful yoga program to schools, teachers, parents & students world-wide.
