Support Teacher

LISA SILVERSTEIN
R.E.C.E., Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor

Lisa is a R.E.C.E. and Certified Yoga & Meditation Instructor. She believes strongly that our mental, physical, and emotional well-being is intimately linked with our environment, beginning with the natural world.

Lisa worked for many years at the Child Care and learning Centre at the University of Guelph before shifting to yoga as a full-time endeavor. After many years co-directing Living Yoga & Health, a studio in downtown Guelph where she taught children and adults of all ages and abilities, she has been excited to return to her roots in the world of children’s education and development.

Engaging with the outer world and the elements helps children to understand and respect their own natures and to honour differences without judgement.  Lisa brings her love of movement and stillness, being outside, and playfulness to support the amazing teachers at North 44 Academy. When not at the outdoor preschool or on her mat, she can be found walking in the woods with her dog Bonnie.
