Workshop for Birth-Five Families: Building your inner coach and quieting your inner critic
2026-02-20 18:30 - 19:30 (America/New_York) | PA
It can be easy to be very critical of ourselves, especially as caregivers. We engage with a negative voice inside our head that judges, criticizes, and undermines our confidence. It makes us doubt our abilities. Join us as we learn how to quiet our inner critic and build the voice of our inner coach, which is the internal voice of support, encouragement, and positive self-talk. This workshop will be offered twice, but you only need to register once. All those who register will receive the recording.

Friday, February 20th @ 6:30 – 7:30 PM

This is a gentle form of yoga that can be done while sitting. It can improve your flexibility, concentration and strength, while boosting your mood, and reducing stress and joint strain. Taught by Megan Do Nascimento: She is a Philadelphia native who studied dance at the High School for Creative and Performing Arts and Spanish at Temple University. She first practiced yoga while undergoing treatment for breast cancer six years ago. Yoga became a safe space that allowed Megan to disconnect from treatment and feel power. She completed her 200-hour teacher training at Hot Box Yoga in Manayunk.
