Before creating Wonder Bear Yoga, Founder and CEO Hillary Oberstein taught yoga to thousands of children — in preschools, elementary schools, and after-school programs across Los Angeles — since 2015. A 500-hour registered yoga teacher with a background in sociology from UCLA and NYU, she wrote her first kids' yoga curriculum in 2018, guiding children through movement and mindfulness to better understand themselves and each other. Mostly, though, it was job as a parent that provided the most valuable research for Wonder Bear. Hillary still lives in Los Angeles with her husband, their three children, and their dog, Bear — yes, that Bear.
OUR STORY
A Word From Our Founder
Yoga stretched my physical limits — but that was just the tip of the iceberg. The real gifts, while more subtle, were so much more important: an open mind, a deeper curiosity, and a humility I didn't know I was missing. My hope is that these cards give children — and the adults beside them — room to grow into who they might become. Each of us holds so much potential. And together, we can leave this world a little better than we found it. Wonder Bear helps kids build character. With strong character we are important as one - and impressive as many.
