our story
It all started with a virtual school schedule – literally. No grand plan, no big idea. As many mothers did, I prepared my children for virtual learning during the Covid-19 pandemic and I had written a schedule that consisted of Yoga of course! As I struggled to find children’s yoga instructors who looked like us, my passion for Yoga and the innate realization that there is a great need for representation in this field led me to be the change. I immediately rolled out my mat, signed up for a Children’s Yoga Training, and Our Movement Yoga™ was born.
Our Vision
We envision a space where youth of every hue can move freely in community and see themselves in one another. Our Movement Yoga™ expands the idea of what yoga is and is not. Our inclusive wellness community, comprising individuals of all ages, is empowered through mindfulness and movement. Our Movement!
our Founder
Hi, I’m Tanya! the founder and owner of Our Movement Yoga™. I am a yoga and mindfulness teacher and mother of two little yogis.
My mission is to bring yoga and mindfulness into the homes of families with diverse backgrounds.
I have personally practiced yoga for more than 20 years and I am a Certified Yoga Teacher (CYT-200hr) and Children’s Yoga Teacher (CYT-95). As a yoga teacher, I meet my students where they are in their practice, actively working to create an environment where exploration and curiosity are possible.
When not teaching or practicing yoga, I enjoy traveling to sun-filled destinations with my husband Justin, getting creative with our daughter, Olivia, and watching Philadelphia sports with our son, Ellis.
