Being a Little Yogis Academy franchisee has been an absolutely wonderful experience, both personally and within my community. I wake up every day with a sense of joy and passion, knowing that I have the opportunity to make a positive difference in the lives of children and families. As a mom, the flexibility of working from home has been a true blessing. I can balance my responsibilities as a parent while pursuing my passion for yoga and mindfulness education. Seeing the impact our programs have on the little yogis in my community brings me immense satisfaction, knowing that I am helping them develop important life skills, promoting physical and mental well-being, and nurturing their overall growth. Little Yogis Academy has truly enriched my life, and I am grateful to be part of such a supportive and empowering franchise network.

“My yoga journey began over 20 years ago, when I stumbled across a small yoga studio on my street in Toronto. This small studio would soon turn into the hugely successful Modo Yoga chain and I was dedicated to the practice of hot yoga for many years afterwards. I spent time working as an Energy Exchange student at Moksha Yoga and then at Yoga Grove, both based in Toronto.Although I enjoy any kind of yoga teaching, nothing makes me happier than seeing the sheer joy of children while they are practicing yoga. As my own girls become more independent, it was the perfect time to invest in my own business as Michelle Faber was starting to offer franchises of Little Yogis Academy. It is truly a dream come true to manage this business and teach the little ones in my own area and I'm thrilled to be operating Little Yogis Academy Caledon. “
