Vanessa Pouliot

Founder, Director & Earth Fairy

Life teaches us many lessons. One that I firmly believe in, is that we are, and we become an accumulation of our choices. However, I feel that yoga chose me - igniting my passions for movement, creativity, connection and play in one incredible combination like no other. I am so blessed to be inspired daily by the young people around me to be more, to do more, & to love more... Thank You!  - V

Kids love Vanessa the way that polar bears love snow, because with her children feel honoured, loved and cherished for who they are. She creates a genuine connection with each child and encourages them to let their inner light shine!

Keira Burgess

Magic Maker & Soul Shaker

Intrigued and inspired by all that yoga has to offer, Keira was introduced to yoga by a friend, and hasn't looked back since. With experience as a dancer in her youth, Keira found an immediate comfort in the physical connection of yoga. As her experience with yoga grew, so did her awareness of the beauty of the mental, spiritual, energetic and universal connections that yoga has to offer. Keira loves having the opportunity to assist children in connecting with themselves and the world around them to discover their uniqueness through yoga. A lover of peace, play, joy, compassion and gratitude, Keira brings an open, experimental, fun and forgiving attitude to her practice & lessons.

Robyn Snow

Magical Mermaid 

Looking for an emotional outlet, Robyn began practicing yoga in high school and never realized how it would change her life. No matter what curve balls were thrown her way, yoga always called her back and she continued learning and growing within her practice over the years.  She made the decision to take her 200-hr yoga teacher training after a year of travel and soul-searching. Upon completion and her background in early childhood development, she knew that working with children was her passion and it was listening to her truth that landed her a position sharing yoga with Glow Yoga Kids. She brings passion and authenticity to her classes, encouraging students to be themselves and grow in a safe and supportive atmosphere. 

Kim Gilbert

Kim first discovered the power and solace of yoga 15 years ago and has continued to enjoy yoga since. She has worked as an Occupational Therapist with children for 15 years.  Kim believes that every child has the capacity to find balance. She is passionate about sharing the joys and energy of yoga with children. In kids yoga Kim shares a creative, exploratory,  and adaptive  practice to her lessons.  ​

Carole Angeles

Crystal Dragon

Carole's passion for yoga has transformed form a dedicated personal practice into a way to share beautiful movement with absolutely anyone, regardless of age, experience or mobility. It continually inspires her to know that with simple modifications it is a practice that can be enjoyed from 0-100+ years old, and one that help build community, encourages compassion and promotes inclusion. Teaching kids yoga is the ultimate fusion of her love for spending time with children of all ages and the absolute joy of teaching yoga. Carole's classes encourage children to express themselves individually through creative movement and playfulness in a safe and supportive group environment. 

Asha Thomas

Shining Star

​Asha fell in love with teaching children in 2003. Her education and experience brought forth a passion towards learn-through-play philosophy and the emergent curriculum. "Children in play are like bees at work, they do what comes naturally and love what they do. They work hard and make music when they do." Yoga found it's way into Asha's life during university, as she turned to it for stress relief but also discovered a connection to self on a personal and emotional ground. "I developed a beautiful connection between my body and soul through movement, breath and stillness." By connecting her love of teaching children with her love of all things yoga, Asha is living the life of her dreams!

Natasha Michaud

Golden Explorer

'All we need is Love' ~ John Lennon 'and yoga' is my addition. Yoga is a powerful way to achieve love in many ways including the love of our bodies, souls and minds. In the beginning of my yoga journey, I had it all wrong. I thought it was about achieving physical perfection and, if I did not, I was not a good enough yoga student. It took many years, a wide variety of training and a kind heart to realize that it was much different from that. Through having yoga as a way of being rather then just a physical practice, I have learned a significant amount of empathy, compassion, love, joy, youthfulness, balance and safe ways to practice the physical aspects. When teaching yoga, I focus on all of the above creating an open and kind space for my students. I love teaching all age groups and young kids are my focus. I am the owner of a kids' yoga company and have created some products including 'The Yoga Alphabet by Go-Ya! Kids' book. I have a well rounded education in different styles of yoga, meditation and movement therapy and still seek further development not only as a teacher but as a continuously expanding student as well.
