An Interview with Nina Saacks

Welcome to part 3 of our interview series with Glenda van den Oever, the passionate owner of Simply Yoga.

In this instalment, Glenda takes us on a journey into the world of yoga for children, teens, and tweens, unveiling her love for teaching and the incredible benefits it brings.

Glenda’s dedication to sharing the gift of yoga with younger generations shines through her Rainbow Warriors kids yoga classes.

She understands the importance of allowing children to choose and genuinely desire to join yoga, rather than forcing them into the practice.

At Simply Yoga, creating a space where kids can explore yoga in a safe and joyful manner. However, Glenda acknowledges that kids yoga is not yet widely embraced, especially within the school system—a reality she hopes to change.

Recognising the immense value it brings, she advocates for more schools to offer yoga programs, allowing children to experience the countless physical, mental, and emotional benefits that yoga can provide.

For qualified yoga teachers interested in sharing the wonders of yoga with children, Blissful Yoga for Kids offers specialised Kids Yoga teacher training. We end the conversation where Glenda shares her special Yoga class ending – with a warming and heartfelt cup of tea.
