Hi! I'm Oli. I teach yoga to adults, children and teens, and I believe whether you are 2 years old or 102 year olds, yoga can help you explore how it feels to be happy, healthy and balanced.

My yoga practice began whilst I was in my final year of university in 2016. After graduating, I began working as an assistant in a number of nurseries and primary schools, both mainstream and in a Montessori setting. Over these years, I saw first hand how school is such a formative time and how we can forget the many stressors children face at this age.

I began teaching children's yoga at the weekend as I wanted the children I worked with to be able to access and experience the many benefits of mindfulness and yoga in a way that made sense to them.

In 2021, I founded Balance Kids Yoga, teaching in nurseries, schools, studios and other venues - as well as online - with the aim of bringing yoga to those who wouldn't typically access it.
