about jaNNa

My name is Janna Drotos (rhymes with "lotus"), and I am so excited to be working with your children as we explore the many facets and benefits of yoga and other energy balancing exercises.

I have been teaching Little Lotus Kids' Yoga (classes and parties) in the settings of studios, schools and homes since my RYT 200 certification in 2007. I am always intending to go above and beyond, teaching various holistic tools that the kids can take with them as they grow. Beyond a yogi, I am a natural healer and teacher with a mission to share the techniques and information that have inspired and helped me in my own life. We light-heartedly discuss life and the common threads that unite us all, creating a community and unending circle of friends. We can see eye to eye, feel heart to heart.

I am consistently inspired to implement even more amazing ideas into our gatherings! I am constantly learning from each class, and it is my intention to continually grow as an effective, fun, and creative teacher! Namaste Neighborhood is designed with the intention to remind kids that their bodies, minds, and spirits are meant to thrive blissfully, now and always!

In an increasingly chaotic and stimulating world, the truth is that we are all spiritual and connected to an infinite source of love that can support our balance and calm. Yet, we are not necessarily taught how to find that connection, or how to maintain it. Life becomes an expression of this quest.

Namaste Neighborhood is a community that inspires kids to participate in a lifetime of healthy bodies, peaceful minds, and shining spirits! I am excited and honored to live in this neighborhood!

We are devoted to maintaining a safe and fun space for kids to learn how to make consistent healthy and happy choices.
We connect and learn through yoga, brain/body/breath energy exercises (think Brain Gym), games, movement, energy medicine, traditional chinese medicine, shiatsu, thai massage, games, acrobatics, partner yoga, discussions, stories, creative meditations (even delicious ones!), visualizations, art, touch, taste, movement, song, sound, and even silence.
We explore and celebrate our awesomeness! We go within to find our light, and we come out shining!

Certifications:

I am certified in Yoga Ed., which is a brilliant, nationally recognized, cost-effective health and fitness yoga based curriculum for schools. Yoga Ed has been shown to enhance fitness, focus and concentration, learning readiness, emotional intelligence and self-discipline.

I am certified to teach the students, and I can also hold workshops for teachers if they wish to bring yoga and its many facets into their classroom on their own time.

I have also completed a certification training with Rainbow Kids Yoga, and it was just what I needed to keep the momentum of my passions moving forward. They are a dynamic powerhouse of yoga fun, totally kid-friendly as well as engaging for teens, parents, and families, too! This training brought in magical and creative ideas that are sure to impress!

P.S. I wasn't in Mexico City, but I thought this embodied the fantastic energy and creativity of RKY and I had to share it with you!
