(Please note: due to Gopala's busy travel schedule, he no longer teaches regular yoga for kids classes.)
Rainbow Kids Yoga was founded by yoga teachers Gopala Amir Yaffe and Katya Fialkova in 2007, with the intention of giving as many people as possible the tools to teach fun, engaging, and creative yoga classes for children and families.

Expanding to 200-Hr Family Yoga trainings, Family Yoga Retreats, Partner Yoga Trainings, as well as keeping our original 3-Day Kids & Family Yoga Teacher Trainings, we are super excited to offer a variety of uniquely family-focused yoga trainings. 

 

Our growing, incredible family of Senior Teachers help Rainbow Kids Yoga continue to train many wonderful teachers around the world.

          

 

OUR MISSION:

 

  • To promote health and wellbeing in children and adults in a fun and supportive environment

 

  •  To honor the ancient teachings of Yoga and uphold the integrity of the traditional practice, while allowing room for playfulness and individuality

  • To make this knowledge as accessible as possible by offering scholarships, financial aid, and work exchange
  • To extend our vision by supporting local organizations that help children and families, as well as projects for peace

  •   To train amazing yoga teachers for kids, worldwide!


 

APPRECIATION:

 

A big thank you to all our teachers: Swami Swaroopananda and other great souls from the Sivananda Ashram, Geshe Michael Roach & Lama Christie McNally for teaching us about business and relationships, Rabbi Gelberman from All Faith Seminary, Jasmine and Dana from Laughing Lotus, Shari Vilchez from Karma Kids Yoga (her course rocks!), Erin and Kevin O’Keefe from Circus Yoga, Sarah Perron and Laura Staton from Baby Om, Mia Borgatta from Ma Yoga, Jenny and Jason and all the great teachers from Acro Yoga, Helen Garabedian from Itsy Bitsy Yoga, Marco Encab from Israel and the many other creative people we have studied with and learned from.

 

Many of the poses, games and inspiration for new ideas that we now teach to others came from these awesome people!

 

A huge thanks to all the kids we ever met and especially those we practiced yoga with – you are the inspiration for all of this and our greatest teachers.

 

And last but not least, enormous thanks to all of our students who are now teachers, who participated in our kids yoga teacher trainings and continue to enrich us with their  boundless new materials - all relationships are a two way path, and  we keep nourishing each other.

 

 
"Gopala beautifully connected the spirit of yoga and the spirit of children, and connected us as teachers.  I went on an unforgettable journey, and now I feel qualified to go on this same journey with children... 
I have received such wide knowledge. 
Thank you very much for everything!!"
