Where we started and how it is now
Learn about the incredible steps in Sam’s journey to becoming the Founder and Principal Kids Yoga Teacher at Breathe & Flow Yoga.
When did you start your business?
I started Breathe and Flow Yoga in October 2018.
How was it when you first started?
I completed my Rainbow Kids Yoga Teacher Training and 2 days later I taught my first Kids Yoga Class at an Early Childhood Centre in Samford. It took a while to build up my centres. I worked for another Kids Yoga company to gain more experience and work with different age groups. I started teaching 450 children a week across the different centres in Brisbane!
Why did you decide to become a business owner?
Before becoming a Kids Yoga Teacher I was working 9-5 with the same old same old job and routines. Now I create the life I want to live and each day is an amazing day. There is no day I don’t love going to work.
What was your mission at the start of your company?
My mission is to make a difference in this world and make a bigger impact than what I was doing at my previous job as an Educator. I could see the children needed something and that something was Kids Yoga. It changed my life then I knew what I wanted to do with my life.
When you started your business how many teachers worked for you?
When I first started it was only myself teaching Kids Yoga.
How many people work for your company now?
My incredible team of 10 superstar Kids Yoga Teachers are the best in Australia. They have so much knowledge and experience when it comes to teaching children and how they can get the most out of their sessions. I always get lovely feedback from the Centre Directors, Educators and parents about how amazing they are and what a difference our Early Childhood Yoga Programs makes to their child or children.

Soon to be Yoga for Schools, Yoga for special needs & Kids Yoga Therapy.
I am also going to be creating an online membership platform for Kids Yoga Education, Early Childhood Centres, Schools and Yoga for Educators. Watch this space!
What made you choose to start a company in Kids Yoga?
Our mission is to give children the tools to be happy, calm and connected. We want to see all kids thrive and be the best versions of themselves.
How is your company now?
My company is growing and growing every week. It’s getting bigger and more amazing. Our Early Childhood Program is now in New South Wales & Victoria. I have so much interest in the Early Childhood Centres wanting to provide our Kids Yoga program to their children.
Where is your company now?
Breathe & Flow Yoga is Australia wide now in 3 states: Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.
How does your company give back to your community?
Breathe and Flow Yoga has partnered with Green Life Warehouse Cafe to provide Free Kids Yoga classes for families in the local community so everyone can experience the joy and happiness and the amazing benefits of yoga. Plus helping a small family owned business bringing new customers to the cafe.
How would you describe where you are now with your work as a Kids Yoga Teacher and as a business owner?
Reflecting on this interview, it has been the most amazing journey and to see how far I have come. It is incredibly amazing. I would have never thought I would be where I am today. This is only the beginning, lots more exciting things to come and bigger goals and achievements to work on.
