Branch Out and Expand
We hold a safe space for real growth to unfold. We teach kids the tools of yoga and communication that are necessary to navigate life’s many twists and turns. Our mission is to recognize, celebrate and empower children to root into their strength. We nurture their environment and give education to families to create effective and lasting change.
Our planet is home to over 60,000 tree species, all of which need different environments to expand into the beauty of their natural essence. Once empowered, trees root into the Earth and unapologetically expand out to take up space, confidently claiming their right to be here.
Our goal is to witness this same empowered expansion within kids of all colors, shapes, sizes and abilities. We foster a loving and nurturing environment for children so they can comfortably Branch Out and Expand, dive deep into the world around them, and use the tools of Yoga to create and sustain a healthy lifestyle that lasts.

“Lena volunteers her time to work with our high school students to help them cope during times of covid. She is amazing at connecting with kids and her patience is undeniable. Our community couldn’t be happier with her presence, personality, approach, and understanding of what it’s like to be a teenager in today’s society. She is truly impactful at what she does and we feel blessed to have her expertise in yoga, mindfulness, and coping strategies. Thanks for all you do!””
