Empowering Youth and Families through Yoga, Mindfulness, and Trauma-Informed Care
Barbara L. Ley
Hello, and welcome to my new website! I am a certified children's yoga and mindfulness instructor, founder of Tree Frog Kids Yoga, and an associate professor of Communication and Women & Gender Studies at the University of Delaware. This website details my yoga and mindfulness teaching, academic instruction, and research. It also provides resources for bringing yoga and mindfulness to children, families, caregivers, and those who work in trauma settings. I'm still putting the website together, but feel free to check out what I have up so far. Thanks for stopping by.

RECENT FAMILY YOGA PLAY VIDEOS
Here's Family Yoga Play Mini-Session # 11: It's Cold Breath! This breathing activity promotes deep breathing, active muscle engagement and relaxation, and sensory input. When doing the partner version, it also promotes connection through mirroring and physical contact. Let me know how it goes!
Check out Family Yoga Play Mini-Session #6: Peekaboo Breathing! For parents and caregivers seeking increased connection with your children, this activity-which combines relaxed breathing with the use of a Hoberman sphere-promotes gentle eye contact in a fun and calming way.
