BABIES AND KIDS

Nora has loved working with babies for years. Even before having her two kids in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2009 and 2011, she began studying Prenatal Yoga in NYC at Om and then Postpartum with her own babies. She continued to follow her two kids at every stage of development. As her two infants grew, she became even more curious about Developmental Movement and appropriate physical and social education for her kids. She studied with Ellynne Skove in NYC to become certified in Baby Yoga and Developmental Movement and began teaching new Moms in Brooklyn immediately. Simultaneously, she was asked to write the “Move Baby Move” curriculum for the family space in NYC formerly called “Appleseeds”. She wrote and taught the curriculum for Pre-Crawlers to Toddlers for several years. As her kids aged into Toddlerhood, Nora dove deeper into studying what environment and movement practices were best for them. 

Nora continued her studies at Karma Kids Yoga, becoming certified in Kids Yoga in 2015 for ages two to teenagers and worked in NYC independent and public schools for various years teaching Theater Arts, Dance and Yoga. She was the Performing Arts Director of the German School Brooklyn for 7 years and then with the move to Cambridge, Massachusetts in 2021, she became the Movement and Yoga Specialist there for 5 years.  

From 2013-2021, Nora taught at various daycares and Preschools in Brooklyn for Soul Shine Life Yoga, in the public school system for Together in Dance and most extensively at the German School Brooklyn (now the Global School Brooklyn) teaching all age kids Yoga, Dance and Theater.  

From 2021-2026 Nora was the Yoga, Theater Arts and Dance Specialist and Cambridge Montessori School, teaching all students, ages 18 months-14 year olds.
