Yoga teacher and breath coach Gina Marie Slager believes in empowering tween and teen girls so they can know themselves and love themselves. That's why she leads the Teen Focus groups at Monkey Mind.
Gina's classes incorporate breathing exercises, yoga, meditation, deep relaxation, positive intention, interactive talk and creative art. With her gentle encouragement, Gina naturally creates a safe, supportive environment where girls feel free to express their fears, anxieties and worries about life with the group. In return, Gina teaches coping skills that will last a lifetime, empowering the girls to make wise and healthy choices and strengthen their self esteem in the process.
Gina believes that her own gifts are to uplift and serve humanity, finding the positive qualities within her students and helping them focus on their gifts to enhance their lves. She was trained and certified at both the Temple of Kriya Yoga and Spirit Rising of Chicago.
