As an Early Start Denver Model (ESDM) therapist, I had the absolute pleasure of observing Marketa facilitate a yoga session with a group of young children, and I was genuinely in awe of her natural ability to connect, engage, and regulate the group with such calm confidence and joy. What stood out to me most was her intuitive use of strategies that align beautifully with developmental and therapeutic principles her transitions between heightened and calm arousal states were seamless, creating a safe and nurturing rhythm for the children to follow. I was particularly impressed with how she incorporated imitation into the session, which is such a core learning domain in ESDM. The children were not only following her movements, but truly embodying the imaginative themes she brought to life especially during the superhero stretches, which were magical to witness.
Marketa has a remarkable gift for blending movement, mindfulness, and fun in a way that supports both emotional regulation and developmental growth. Her sessions are inclusive, creative, and therapeutic by nature, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to other centres and schools I work with.
She's a true gem in the early childhood space!
