Meet our founder

It started at home, with my son.

As a young adult, yoga and mindfulness helped me manage my own mental health. When I saw signs of anxiety in my son, I shared my favourite practices with him and watched his calm and confidence grow. I started Little Yogis so every child could have those tools.
