Barbara and Jennifer Westgate were the first two in Ontario, Canada to be Certified Children's Yoga Teachers through YogaKids International. Since, they have both studied with many other renown leaders in the field of children's yoga, in areas of particular interest to each. Jennifer has especially enjoyed studying with Sonia Sumar (Yoga for the Special Child), and has a particular interest in parenting with heart. Barbara has made social and emotional well-being a priority in her extended studies. Together and separately, they have been bringing yoga to children and their families in London, ON and area for over 15 years through private and group classes, community and school visits and "playshops" in schools and children's facilities including Thames Valley Children's Centre and CPRI.
Jennifer has an Honors Psychology Degree and a Masters Speech-Language Pathology Degree. As well, she is a Certified Reflexologist, has her 2nd Degree Reiki and her basic HANDLE training. She brings many years of experience working with children of most ages and abilities to her private classes. Appointments may be made for Children's Yoga (including Reflexology or Reiki if desired) or Reflexology Treatments for children or adults or Private Speech for children. You may reach Jennifer at jewes23@hotmail.com.
Barbara has a Behaviour Science background. She was a child care provider and consultant for over 25 years. Barbara is a Teacher/Practitioner in the (Usui) Holy Fire, Karuna and Reiki Drum Healing traditions. She is also a Practitioner/Tutor of Metamorphosis. Private appointments may be made in these modalities for children and adults, or children may experience any of these calming and soothing energy practices within private or group classes upon request. Barbara's Roots and Wings (social/emotional well-being) has been enhanced with Teach Children Meditation training (with Lorraine Murray) and is popular with children with anxiety, focusing or other life challenges, either through regular yoga classes or privately by appointment. Please contact Barbara at natural_child@hotmail.com for more details.
