Who Is Teaching?

Co-Directors of Budding Buddhas, Sue and Michelle met during their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training at Yoga Haven in 2011.  They discovered they were both certified children's yoga instructors and shared a love for teaching kids. As their friendship grew, they decided to start a children's yoga business. Budding Buddhas Kids Yoga was established in 2012 so that they could combine their passion for yoga and mutual love for working with young children.
