Five  years ago, former second-grade teachers Annie Warshaw and Jill Carey launched a girl-power group that combines yoga, storytelling and snacks – the perfect trifecta.

“We teach how to advocate for yourself in a respectful way,” says Warshaw “We talk about what power the girls have in different situations, and we drive home that it doesn’t matter if you’re seven or eight or six, you’re a person, and you deserve to be heard.”
