About Us
 
A branch of Learning Tree Yoga, we started offering after school enrichment in 2009.  We wanted to allow as many children as possible to experience the benefits of yoga and not limit it to those in the vicinity of our NE Minneapolis studio.  Learning Tree Yoga was founded by Jessie Forston, MEd, in 2007.  She was using yoga with her classroom of first graders in Edina, MN, and the benefits and positive changes that were recognized in her students were wonderful.  Thus, she set out to share yoga with as many children, teachers and families as she could.  Now, branching further into the after-school market, Jessie hopes that children all over the Metro area will get a chance to taste yoga for themselves through the fun, engaging and active classes that Yoga Enrichment offers.
