Meet Your Instructor & Guide
I'm Giselle, Founder of Kids Yoga Stories...
and I totally get it!
I know what it’s like to be a primary school teacher in chaotic classrooms with limited time and loads of curriculum to teach.
I also have a daughter who has additional needs.
In order to help children everywhere, including my daughter, manage the ups and downs of life, I’ve spent the last twelve years creating resources, workbooks, books, and guides for teachers, parents, and anyone wanting to bring yoga and mindfulness to children.
And, I’m thrilled to finally bring you my biggest, most comprehensive offering yet and help you design your very own tailor-made school yoga program.
I can’t wait to meet you and work together toward a common goal—helping children be active and healthy and to get the most out of life!
Hands Down One of the Best Trainings!
Hands down one of the best trainings I’ve ever done in my 17 years of school counseling! It gave me a starting point in how I wanted to implement yoga / mindfulness into my elementary school. Along the way, the program offered great ideas, input, education, & support from a wonderful community of people who are just trying to make the world & our schools a better place! I continue to build on my school program, but I would’ve never made it (or probably even started it) if it wasn’t for this program! Highly recommend this program! You won’t regret it!

I Loved the School Yoga Program!
I went into the whole experience overwhelmed and having no idea where to start my school yoga program. I had a ton of resources, but no exact doable, step-by-step plan—and just thinking about it made me anxious! This was the most practical and organized program. The breakdown of the materials made sense and was easy to follow, and I was able to accomplish everything I set out to do in only five days—with no anxiety!!! It was also affordable, the KYS team replied to all my crazy e-mails in a timely manner, and they gave input/suggestions specifically for my school yoga program (not just general statements—input specific to my program). AMAZING! Who even does that?! I've been a school counselor for over fifteen years, and this was one of the best workshops I've ever attended! I plan on being a lifelong member and supporter of Giselle and Kids Yoga Stories!

Kind Words from Teachers & School Counselors
RESOURCES ARE A GREAT FIT!
"Your resources are a great fit. I want the students to learn strength in their bodies and mind—and experience what it feels like to be calm. I can do this by providing tools, games, and techniques. I’m so excited to build a strong yoga program at my school!"
- Ally
EMPOWERING TEACHERS
"My takeaway is that we’re not doing the yoga activities 'to' them, but rather we are participating in the activities 'with' them. I also never thought of teaching mindfulness through sensory activities. I can see that empowering the teachers because they are probably already doing a lot of mindfulness activities without realizing it!"
- Veronica
BRINGING INTENTIONALITY TO WHAT WE DO
"My takeaway is that I’m already doing all these yoga and mindfulness activities, but now I need to bring the intentionality behind what we do. It will help me be present with the children. I feel more confident going forward, and now I have a workable plan!"
- Melanie
Resources are Invaluable
"I am truly grateful for the wealth of knowledge this course provided! After taking your class, I was able to persuade my school to allow me to teach yoga classes as an elective for my middle school students. This experience gave me the confidence to teach yoga full-time in daycares, schools, studios, and private settings! Your resources and books have been invaluable in that transition! (I also love using them with my young nieces as a way to get them interested in yoga too!). Teaching yoga full-time has been incredibly rewarding."
