A Few Testimonials
"DPK was not just a training, it was a mind- body experience. For me, it was an expressive explosion of joy through movement and play. I left with a tool box spilling over with practical and applicable ideas and tools to bring mindfulness and yoga to children. Missy is an incredibly talented and gifted teacher and leader. This training was profoundly impactful and inspirational" - Lisa S - DPK graduate.
 
 "I had the privilege and joy of doing training with Missy and I can honestly say her teachings are a beautiful gift.  I feel truly transformed as a woman, as a mom and as a teacher. I can't wait to use everything I experienced on a personal as well as professional level. Out of many teachers whom I have taken trainings, hers was one of the best. Missy's devotion, passion and skill comes through in every moment. She resonated with me in my heart and has inspired me to be a better person. The wisdom and depth of experience make her not only authentic but ignite enthusiasm in others who are committed to bringing these practices out into the world. If you ever have the chance to study with her, DO NOT miss this opportunity" -  Sue G - DPK graduate.
 
"Deep human connection - to be seen and heard is a fundamental need for everyone and what our children need most from their families and community.   DPK heals the human connections we missed in our own childhood and gives us the tools to connect more deeply not just with children but with everyone mostly ourselves.  Missy and her team hold a container for exactly who we are...perfect, eternal, and whole" -  Jennifer B- DPK graduate.
 
"My greatest wish is that everyone has the privilege to meet and study with Missy Brown. The inspiration and transformation from my being with her is like nothing I have ever experienced. I am not sure which is bigger, her heart or her knowledge. This training just may be more fun than study, more play than work. Incredible staff, creative deep learning, amazing community, life changing experience. I highly recommend this to everyone" -  Traci C - DPK graduate.
