Meet Laureen & Carol

Laureen Violante,CYT, is certified through the Temple of Kriya Yoga and has taught yoga for twelve years.  She began teaching yoga to children five years ago and became aware of the children’s heightened response when the class was centered on a story theme.  She completed the Radiant Child Yoga Program, Level I with Shakta Kaur Khalsa, CYT, the author of Fly Like A Butterfly.  She has completed Awakening The Storyteller and Treasures of the Heart with Sydney Solis, founder of Storytime Yoga and is currently taking part III, Mythic Yoga.  Laureen, who previously owned The Yoga Haven, continues to offer adult yoga classes throughout the community.

Carol LaFache, CYKT, holds a Masters of Science in Education with 25 years of elementary school teaching experience. She has also been certified through YogaKids International as a children’s yoga teacher and YogaKids Trainer.   She studied with Marsha Wenig, founder of YogaKids, who is recognized internationally as bringing cutting edge yoga education and body-based learning into classrooms around the world. YogaKids’ unique approach to integrative learning, using the Multiple Intelligences Theory of Harvard educator Howard Gardner as its foundation, is a natural extension to Carol’s educational philosophy of educating the “whole child.”  Carol conducts adult workshops entitled “YogaKids Tools for Schools,” training teachers to bring yoga into their classrooms, as well as “A Taste of YogaKids,” and “YogaKids Taste for Teens.”
