Sorinel Morel

Sorinel was born and raised in Brooklyn and is currently living in Manhattan, both vibrant and diverse boroughs in New York City. She is a passionate, reflective, and experienced educator, who is deeply committed to developing young learners to reach their highest potential.  Being an educator means being a model of excellence for others, a support structure for families, and an advocate for all children!  She firmly believes in the power of restorative justice to create a nurturing and transformative learning environment. She strives to foster empathy and understanding among her students, encouraging them to take responsibility for their actions and make amends. By embracing restorative practices, she aims to build a strong sense of community in the classroom, where conflicts are opportunities for growth and healing, leading to more meaningful connections and a positive impact on each student's personal and academic journey.

Outside of education, Sorinel is a yoga and fitness instructor. She is passionate about promoting physical and mental well-being and helping others cultivate strength, flexibility, and inner peace. Sharing the transformative benefits of these practices brings her joy and fulfillment, as she witnesses her students' growth and progress on their wellness journeys. Her dedication to guiding others toward a healthier lifestyle through health and wellness is driven by a genuine desire to make a positive impact on their lives.  She’s found a profound alignment in teaching yoga/fitness and restorative justice.  Both emphasize compassion, healing and create a supportive space for growth and transformation, whether on the mat or in addressing conflicts.
