Sarina Long
Sarina is a New England native who now calls Minnesota home. She was introduced to yoga in college and immediately fell in love with the mindfulness techniques that helped clear her mind before taking tough exams.
Sarina is certified in Yoga Calm and has been teaching at several Twin Cities schools, hospitals, adolescent and adults yoga at The Emily Program, and Family yoga through Community Ed.
Sarina loves working with children of all ages, especially teens. Her classes focus on strengthening the mind and body with yoga poses, fun games, and her favorite part — relaxation.
Sarina believes that sharing the practice of yoga with children and teens can give them a toolbox that will grow with them as they face some challenges that life brings.
Her passion for working with children is obvious in all that she does.
Sarina’s favorite pose is Tree Pose, because she loves how trees remind her of people. Like us, trees are strong, forever growing, and need to stay rooted in a healthy environment with plenty of love in order to survive.

And the data:
Two months after the training, 95% of providers used the techniques each week and 35% of those were using the techniques daily. Providers were most frequently using calming breaths (94%), yoga poses (89%), and the Hoberman sphere (89%) with children in their daycare. All providers reported that Move Mindfully® techniques were either helpful or slightly helpful in fostering children’s self-regulation, smooth transitions, de-escalation, and focus. Most providers (82%) reported Move Mindfully® was easy-to-use in the child care setting and the remaining 18% of providers considered the techniques somewhat easy-to-use. Most providers reported no barriers to using Move Mindfully®. The techniques require no special space, and no or low-cost equipment. •
