MINDFUL ART & YOGA

The idea for Mindful Art & Yoga sprouts from Jasmine’s love for three things: children, art, and yoga. She is the owner and director of a well-respected preschool in Sunnyvale, California that focuses on the creative play-based curriculum. After becoming a certified yoga instructor, Jasmine began incorporating yoga into her preschool lessons. What started out as an experiment quickly became an essential part of the school’s curriculum. Not only did the children demonstrate growth in strength, flexibility, and emotional regulation, yoga also helps them tap into their creative energy. The physical postures of yoga stimulate children’s mind to invent stories with their bodies and go on pretend journeys to anywhere that interest them. Utilizing her artistic background, Jasmine is able to capture these creative moments and help children translate their imagination into creative artworks using different medium and techniques. Seeing the benefits of her innovative approach, Jasmine established Mindful Art & Yoga in hope to inspire more children to have fun, be creative, and build healthy bodies and minds.
