Registered Adults and Children’s Yoga Teacher

Founder and Director

Namaste Yogis Pty Ltd

My childhood was very difficult. This had lasting mental and emotional effects on me until adulthood. I had extremely low self-esteem, low self-worth and limiting self-beliefs. I didn’t know how to love myself or how to be kind to myself – I was at war with myself. I didn’t know who I truly was and didn’t know what I wanted in life. I did what was expected. I didn’t know how to manage my emotions, mood and anxiety. I was constantly in “fight or flight” mode. It wasn’t until in my mid-30s that I discovered yoga and meditation. It was through this, along with holistic counselling, that I started my lifelong journey of healing. I was finally able to connect with my true self and transform my life. I was finally free!

My mission in this life is to help children learn how to love and be kind to themselves so that no child ever goes through what I went through.

I established Namaste Yogis in 2017 after experiencing the healing and transformational benefits of yoga, journaling, and meditation. As a mother, I wanted to make sure that my children and the children of the world grow up knowing how to treat themselves with love and kindness, so that they may learn to treat others and the world, with love and kindness.

Since then, I have had the pleasure of teaching more than 6000 kids’ yoga classes across Early Learning Centres, Sessional Kindergartens, Primary and Secondary Schools!

My aim is to reach as many children as I can across the world. Namaste Yogis also runs Yoga and Mindfulness Professional Development (PD) courses and workshops for Educators in Early Childhood, Primary and Secondary schools. These courses have been based on my personal experience and extensive professional experience teaching yoga to thousands of children.

I am a Registered Adult and Children’s Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance (E-RYT 200, RCYT) and a qualified Yoga Therapist.

I love teaching yoga to children – it’s an expression of myself that I’ve held in for so long!

I completed my Yoga Teacher Training with Western Wellness, Yoga Therapy Institute, Zenergy Yoga and Asanas for Autism and Special Needs.

Loving Thoughts, Loving Words, I am Love ❤️

Our vision is to make the world a better place by starting with ourselves – through our thoughts, words and actions – “Loving Thoughts, Loving Words, I am Love”.

Mission

Engage – provide engaging children’s yoga and mindfulness programs to help children treat themselves with love and kindness so that they may treat others and the world with love and kindness.

Empower – empower educators in supporting the mental health and emotional wellbeing of students and young children through powerful and practical yoga and mindfulness education programs.

Core Values

Establishing authentic connections and bringing value to the lives of the individuals that we meet.

Treating everyone with respect and kindness, listening to their voices and respecting their choices.

Approaching every interaction with an open heart and recognising everyone for their true selves. Embodying the meaning of Namaste – “the light within me honours the light within you”

We Believe

It starts with us, whether you’re an adult or a child.

Our family has a significant impact on how we see ourselves and the world.

By teaching children and parents how to love themselves, we have the opportunity to change the world.

We do this by teaching yoga to children and families. Yoga helps children and families manage their stress and anxiety, helping them become more grounded, centred, instilling a sense of calmness, cultivating resilience and self-confidence. They learn the importance of prioritising their physical, emotional and mental health. Through this process children learn to treat themselves and the world with love and kindness.
