Hi! I’m Maisha, a Philly native, certified yoga instructor, CPR educator, and passionate Recreation Coordinator. Through my business, Mastered Persistence, I empower youth and families with tools for movement, mindfulness, and safety. I’ve worked extensively with trauma-impacted youth, and I believe in creating safe, uplifting spaces where every child can explore their breath, build confidence, and discover their inner calm. I love teaching Pretzel Kids classes because they combine playful fun with real emotional tools that help kids feel grounded, strong, and joyful. I became a certified Pretzel Kids teacher in 2025, and my favorite part about teaching is seeing children connect with themselves in ways that build lasting resilience. I am super excited to offer classes and events in Philadelphia and surrounding areas, helping kids thrive through yoga, self-expression, and community connection.
