About the Author

Meet Ann Christine Espino. A children’s wellness advocate, yoga teacher, and creator of The Yoga Ninja Kid Book — a heartfelt, movement-based story designed to help children navigate big feelings with confidence, calm, and joy.

With over a decade of personal practice and 7+ years teaching yoga across studios, schools, and community spaces, Ann has guided hundreds of young minds in movement, breath, and emotional regulation. Her work with schools and non-profits has shaped her belief that every child deserves tools that empower their body and mind before words ever need to be said.  

As a teacher, mother, and creative, Ann blends storytelling with social emotional learning, crafting experiences that feel playful yet meaningful. The Yoga Ninja Kid grew from real classroom moments and everyday parenting life — a story that meets children where they are and gives families a shared language for calm and courage. 

Ann’s mission is simple: to help children feel steady in their bodies, strong in their emotions, and confident in who they are.

Connect with Ann to collaborate, book school visits, or join the journey toward the release of The Yoga Ninja Kid.
