In this special re-release we hear the first ever KYP interview with Marissa Goulbourne, originally aired in February of 2020.
Marissa is now the Owner of Prana Prenatal Yoga in Westchester, NY. She began practicing yoga regularly in 2014 as a way to cross-train for the NYC Marathon. She deepened her practice in 2016 during her pregnancy, and credits yoga with not only helping her through labor and delivery, but also with strengthening the bond between her and her unborn child. Having spent nearly 15 years working in urban education, Marissa has a passion for empowering children of all ages and helping them succeed. She completed her 200 hour training at Yoga Haven with Betsy Kase, and lives in Westchester County with her husband and daughter. She enjoys reading, cooking, and hanging out with her beautiful blended family, and her favorite asana is Tree Pose (Vrksasana).
Jessica and Marissa discuss how Marissa got into teaching kids yoga, how she handles discipline in her classes, and how yoga at home with her daughter differs from her kids yoga classes. They also touch on challenges that may come up when teaching and how best to handle them in the moment. Marissa is insightful and thoughtful and offers so many helpful words of wisdom. Tune in and be inspired!
