Elanor Franklin – Director
Elanor’s strong background in drama, music and creative dance steered her away from a career in science teaching, and back to her more creative side, teaching children’s yoga.
Elanor completed her university degree in Teaching at Monash University, with further studies completed at Mangala Yoga, Power House Yoga, Over The Moon Kids Yoga, and ongoing mentoring at Kumbada Yoga. With this unique background, Elanor brings a wealth of experience and a wonderfully creative and playful approach to teaching whilst integrating music and dance.
