Hi, I'm Cara Markewicz, an educator, health & wellness coach, kids yoga teacher and owner of OMtots Yoga & Mindfulness for kids. I have been a teacher for about fifteen years, teaching children of all ages a variety of subjects.

Although my background is in Drama and Performance studies, I have spent the last decade of my life in Asia teaching English as a second language, and it is here that I was called into the field of health & wellness. I began to learn about mind-body harmony and the role it plays in our health as humans. During my time abroad, I noticed that there is a huge need for young children to be taught the skills/tools they require to cope with BIG emotions, and I wanted to do something about it. 

 I am excited to share my knowledge and experience and am deeply grateful to have found a way to marry my enthusiasm for wellbeing, with my passion for teaching young children.

 OMtots Yoga and Mindfulness allows room for children to explore emotions, how they relate to the physical body, and what it means to fully be themselves in the world.

My vision is to help create young generations who are self-aware, calm, confident in their abilities, and believe in what they have to offer the world!
