"Amy Pancake has been leading yoga class with our students since 2021. The children have become stronger and more focused as the year progressed and I love her respectful, calm demeanor with the variety of personalities in our classroom. Our students always light up when they learn today is our guided yoga class! I love that Amy can make the bridge with language given our work as an immersion, language based school. So happy we have been able to add her class to our weekly schedule".
