It is amazing to learn that the youngest certified female yoga instructor in the US is only 12 years old.  But this young lady has not achieved it merely by impulse, for she has taken time, effort and perseverance to make it to the top and for her skills to be finally recognized.

Anastasija Fruehling may be a kid, but she became a certified yoga instructor while she was still 11 years old last summer, which is in its own right an amazing feat for a child this young. Her passion for yoga started from the free Sunday yoga classes in Ivivva at the local mall.

Seeing the benefits of yoga as well as how enjoyable it is, she became inspired. This was then fueled by another inspiration, Jaysea DeVoe, the previous youngest female yoga instructor. This young yogini’s teacher’s dedication and passion for yoga became even stronger with all the stories of how Jaysea DeVoe came up.

The newest female yoga instructor, Anastasija, made her way into what she is today through hard work and commitment to her craft. For that, she gave up her entire summer vacation in order to attend a yoga teacher training for 12 hours every day, including homework. She was taught by Danielle Zissou and did the training at Fruition Yoga.

This young yoga teacher did encounter some struggles before she became as she is now. Before she was accepted to Fruition Yoga, she has been denied at all other local training programs because of her age and most them believed her dream of teaching yoga is impossible for a girl of her age.

Evidently, something like that cannot stop her, as she persevered to become certified and was registered with the Yoga Alliance as a yoga teacher for completing the training program of 200 hours and then passed the exam before her 12th birthday even came. Ever since she passed the exam, she has been teaching yoga specializing with kids at Danielle’s yoga studio, and Lululemon as well as Ivivva on Sundays.

As a result, she placed 2nd in the Regionals and 1st in State. She considers herself to be very innovative when it comes to yoga. This innovation is seen through her fun, hybrid-Hatha program that comes with an energetic twist to grab children’s attention, which is liked by adults as well.

Right now, she is working on setting up her own regular program in a local studio which is going to be the first For Kids by Kids yoga program. She posts actively on her own business website Mulberry Yoga. Recently, she is also in talks with one of the major yoga clothing manufacturers to produce her own line of kids clothing for yoga.
