Meet the Teachers!

Hi! I’m Oli, the founder of Balance Kids Yoga.

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.

In 2019 I began teaching children’s yoga on the weekends 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.

Since Covid-19 I began teaching so much online that I then began to run Balance Kids full time!

I now have a wonderful team and we teach all over Brighton & Hove as well as online with the BKY HUB

Meet my team…

Meet Laura

Laura joined Balance Kids in January 2022. She has several years experience teaching multiple genres of dance to babies, toddlers, teens and adults. She also has experience teaching special needs adults and children alike, which is something she is particularly passionate about. Laura is obsessed with the nursery warm up ‘The Shimmy’ and sings The Namaste Song every night before bed. Her favourite pose is Lion’s Pose!

Meet Georgie

Georgie joined the team in 2023 having already been teaching adults and chidlren for many years. She is a passionate teacher with a mission to spread joy. Since training in India in 2017, she has lived, travelled and taught in the UK, Sri Lanka and India. She loves to fly like a butterfly in butterfly pose and in her own time you will find her barefoot in the grass with a hula hoop!

Meet Alyx

Alyx joined Balance Kids in January 2024 whilst working as a room leader in a local nursery. You can now find her all over Brighton & Hove delivering yoga to nurseries, after school clubs and birthday parties, spreading love and light wherever she goes. Her favourite pose is child’s pose and when she’s not teaching you’ll find her at the beach!

Meet Ellen

Ellen joined the team in 2025, after deciding to take a sidestep from full time primary school teaching. She still works hard in the classroom and manages to squish yoga breaks into the day wherever she can. She is passionate about the importance of mindfulness and positive wellbeing in school from EYFS to adulthood. She can often be spotted cooking or doing the dishes in tree pose, and her latest yoga muse is her 2 year old yogi, who gave her the encouragement to join balance kids and who loves yoga almost as much as his mum!
