My skills
I'm very experienced teaching children (from ages 5-18)in many various activities such as art, yoga, tutoring, gymnastics, swimming, reading, and English. I've worked on my family's coffee and macadamia nut farm in Hawaii, picking, husking, shelling, dehydrating, and selling the nuts in various forms at our farm stand. I'm currently teaching English in Trujillo, Peru and briefly taught preschool at a bilingual international school in Cusco before I moved here. I have a therapeutic alignment teaching certification in yoga and I am interested in furthering my education in holistic therapy. I've taught yoga-Pilates classes, yoga for healing, yoga for kids, yoga for college students managing stress, and yoga for athletes. I'm currently teaching yoga in Spanish and learning to translate terms.
