about us

Positivity and Movement for Busy Little Minds®

We specialize in kids yoga classes, afterschool programs, and birthday party experiences designed to help little ones build confidence, focus, and self-awareness — all through fun, engaging adventures.

Our certified instructors bring yoga directly to schools, homes, and community spaces across Dubai, making it easy for families and educators to introduce wellness and mindfulness to children ages 2–12.

Whether it’s a playful yoga class, a Yoga + Slime birthday party, or a school-wide wellness day, we make every session a mix of movement, laughter, and creativity (think Cosmic Kids! — but local, personal, and in-person!).

At Little Yogis Dubai, our mission is simple: 💫 To help kids feel calm, confident, and connected — one yoga pose at a time.

Lumi Tonkin

Hi there! My name is Lumi and I am a dedicated fitness professional with over 25 years of experience in the fitness industry.

I am passionate about helping individuals of all ages achieve optimal health and wellness, and I have dedicated my career to blending scientific principles with practical fitness strategies, personalized for my clients' needs.

Once my daughter was born I chose to take a career break and dedicate my time to raising my family. Now that our wonderful daughter is growing up, I am excited to reignite my passion for enlightening young minds through the teaching of yoga.

I have now embarked on a new journey, transitioning my career to focus on inspiring young minds, fostering their natural curiosity and to impact on the physical and emotional well-being of children. I am targeting the nurturing and well-being of young minds.

“Little yogis” will bring a sprinkle of imagination and a dash of creativity, captivating stories and playful movements to create a world where yoga becomes an exciting adventure.

I am a true believer in the incredible benefits of yoga. From building strength and flexibility to enhancing focus and mindfulness, yoga empowers kids to discover their inner strengths and embrace their unique selves.

We will giggle, stretch, and breathe together, we will unlock our inner superheroes, have imaginary travels and find moments of serenity in our own little yoga sanctuary.

**Lumi has also been the receipient of The Hotelier Middle East Awards Fitness and Recreation Person of the Year.

Amy

My name is Amy Parsons. Mother to three kiddos, family based photographer, Islander, and yoga teacher!

I completed my first yoga training with Modo Yoga in Montreal in the fall of 2010 and went on to do my Modo Flow training in Halifax a few years later. I taught full time for several years before changing directions and operating a successful photography business here on the Island. I am a people person and feel as though my background of teaching yoga, and photographing families with young children will serve me well in this new adventure. I've been told that I make my clients/students feel comfortable and I can't wait to bring that skill with me to Little Yogis.

While I absolutely LOVE photographing all of the beautiful babies and families on PEI (and will continue to do so), I look forward to getting back to my roots in the yoga community. The mental health crisis is real, and I see symptoms within my own family which has led me here! Children need to learn to move their bodies, self regulate, and be mindful of their thoughts/actions. I strongly believe that our children model OUR behaviour and I want to be the change within my own family. I can't wait to help Island kiddos develop healthier habits and mindfulness with the incredible Little Yogis/Busy Minds program.
