JERIKA

Hi! I’m Jerika, the heart behind True Roots Family Yoga. This program grew from my deep love of teaching, my passion for yoga, movement, and nature, and my personal journey of reconnecting with the quiet, people-pleasing little girl I once was. Toward the latter part of my 10 years in early education, I took my first yoga class and instantly thought: Why aren’t we doing this with kids? The poses—rooted in animals, nature, and shapes—are a natural fit for children. Through these poses they can practice balance, connect the two sides of their brain, and build spatial awareness of the body and mind. And the breathwork? It’s such a simple, accessible and powerful tool for helping kids express and regulate their emotions. And so, True Roots was born. Here, we practice yoga, movement, mindfulness, and art in nature as we explore our emotions, navigate daily interactions, and grow together—mind, body, and heart.

​

I look forward to moving with you!
