Jennifer Byer, RYT, is a Yoga 4 Classrooms® and ChildLight Yoga® Trainer and is also founder of YoPlay Yoga for Kids®. Following studies in sociology at St. Francis Xavier University in Nova Scotia, Canada, she became an adult and children’s yoga instructor through Joyful Yoga & Akhanda Yoga in Rishikesh, India, Radiant Child and ChildLight Yoga. When Jen taught ESL in Japan to school aged children for several years, she used yoga to help connect with the children when there were language barriers. Observing how the practice benefitted her young students, she was inspired to make a career of sharing the gifts of yoga and mindfulness with children, educators and families.
