Meet Our Founder
Gopala has taught yoga since 1995 and founded Rainbow Yoga in 2007 to make yoga more social, playful and connected. The method grew from a belief that children learn best when they feel included, curious and free to participate with their whole bodies. Rainbow Yoga is not about perfect poses. It is about creating experiences where children, families and communities can move, imagine, cooperate and belong.

Why become a kids yoga teacher?
Hi, I'm Gopala, the visionary behind Rainbow Kids Yoga. For three decades, I have dedicated my life to transforming children's lives through yoga. Since 2007, Rainbow Yoga has supported over 40,000 graduates worldwide.
Together, we are making a real difference, one child, one school, one family and one community at a time. My mission is simple: make yoga joyful, relevant and engaging for young hearts and minds, so children can grow happiness, confidence, resilience and connection.
Kids yoga teaching is playful, creative and deeply alive. You get to move, laugh, tell stories and help children discover what their bodies and hearts can do.
Yoga can support movement, calm, connection and confidence at a time when many children are navigating physical, mental and social strain.
Through games, nature, stories, kindness, friendship, equality, resilience and self-expression, yoga becomes a practical language for positive change.
