The Sprouts Yoga Team

Hi, I’m Lois!

It’s nice to meet you! I like to think of myself as a super heroine zoooming about Melbourne in a translucent sparkling pink ball.

That’s how my friends + childcare educators think I travel anyway - delivering yogi fun to kids all over Melbourne!

But in reality I keep my super powers low key and focus my gifts into being a Mum to my daring daughter Mimi and our cheeky foster puppy Ginger.

Ginger is named after one of my good friends and Melbourne illustrator Ginger Taylor, whose gorgeous illustrations you will see sprinkled all over our pages.

The number one thing you should know about me is that I love to make kids smile.

Life can be kept pretty simple. I like to focus on my loves and what brings me the most joy - yoga, walks in the park, Mimi, Ginger and fresh sandwiches from my favourite deli.

It was when Mimi was a toddler that I had my kids yoga “lightbulb moment”. I was practicing yoga at home, and Mimi started to join me on the mat and mimic my stretches.

It struck me just how much she was able to do, and how well she was able to follow along when she was so tiny. It was so incredible to see.

I realised just how much capability every one of our Little Sprouts has, and from this Sprouts Yoga was born.

Since then, I have trained under leading yoga instructors to hone my powers as a hyper-specialist in kids yoga and teach around 800 kids per week. One of the most common questions I am asked is how do I keep kids interested in class?

Well the truth is, I know how to capture the attention of any Little Sprout in the wild - sometimes I read stories, sometimes we act out poses of favourite animals and sometimes we make a cacophony of noises!

The number one thing to know about kids yoga? You can make it fun without dumbing it down. You can add music and games and it is still real yoga - just adapted to make it awesome fun for little kids.

Yoga really does wonders for self-esteem, confidence and of course little human bodies.

And that’s it!

I can’t wait to meet you and your Little Sprout as we move together and spread the joy and wellbeing in kids yoga!
