You let it go.”~ Jodi SmithJodi Smith was introduced to yoga practice after her doctor “prescribed” yoga to relieve high-level stress and anxiety.

This awareness fueled her desire to teach and share yoga to all people who had limited access to yoga.The work she does in the schools and with communities of color reflects her personal interest in how the intersection between social justice, inclusion, and yoga can foster change in underserved communities.Addition to her yoga experience, Ms. Smith holds an MBA from Duke University/Fuqua School of Business and is a lover of art, reading and traveling.Connect with JodiEmail: [email protected]Web: www.mosaickidsyoga.comFacebook: mosaic kids yoga : www.facebook.com/mosaickidsyogahtxInstagram: mosaickidsyoga www.instagram.com/mosaickidsyogaBest way to contact: Direct Message via InstagramPinterest @mosaickidsyoga www.pinterest.com/mosiackidsyogaConnect with Beth:Email: [email protected]Web: www.yoginos.comCell: +1 361 563 7448Facebook: personal: www.facebook.com/elizreeseFacebook: Yogiños: Yoga for Youth®: www.facebook.com/yoginos/Instagram: yoginosyogaforyouth: www.instagram.com/yoginosyogaforyouthTwitter: @yoginos: twitter.com/YoginosLinkedIn: Beth Reese, PhD50 min

About The OHMazing® Way with Beth Reese, PhD
From the publisher's feed
Synthesizing over two decades of Dr. Beth Reese’s work bringing practical, research-based self-regulation tools from mindfulness and yoga on and off the mat into daily life, this podcast shares stories and ideas for integrating techniques into homes, classrooms, schools, and beyond.
When Dr. Beth Reese’s then 6-year-old daughter started hurling chairs at her in a busy airport, she knew something was up. Soon after, she learned that her daughter had sensory processing disorder, considered by many to be a spectrum disorder. Realizing that what Beth was learning on her yoga mat could help her daughter “off the mat”, she founded Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® in 2008. As for Dr. Reese’s once chair-hurling daughter, she is now an award-winning filmmaker in UCLA’s School of Theater, Film and Television.
