I'm Jerika — a kids yoga and mindfulness teacher, mama of two (just 1.5 years apart!), and the founder of True Roots Family Yoga. I started this work because I needed it myself. Even with a Master's in Early Childhood Education, a 200 RYT, and a children's yoga certification, when I was in the thick of it — two toddlers competing for needs and attention, my own nervous system completely fried — I couldn't access the right words or strategies when I needed them most.

That gap is what Rooted + Ready is built on.

When we give children tools to understand their bodies and feelings early, we're offering something that lasts a lifetime. In every class, camp, and meditation I create, the goal is the same: meet families where they are, honor kids as they come, and make movement and mindfulness feel like play — not perfection or pressure. I'm so glad you're here!
