teachers bio
Amanda Fuzes
“If I had learned these yoga and mindfulness tools when i was a kid, I would have been a better dancer and gymnast”.
Director of FLying Yogis. Amanda has been practicing yoga since 1997- and teaching since 2002. Her specialty is increasing confidence in children to achieve fun poses and sequences on the mat- which helps them realise that anything is possible off the mat!
Amanda will be helping with all the acroyoga and tumbling for the performances.
Valerie Saindon
Passionate, driven and a born teacher. Valerie has always had a desire to help people become the best versions of themselves and through yoga, meditation & acroyoga, she has found the best medium for not only her life journey, but to help others live a more fulfilled life. She has been teaching from a young age and that is why she gets great pleasure out of sharing with others.
Lisa Chimes
Since Lisa Chimes (check out @lisachimesart) has come on board with her inspirational art and craft ideas for our Holiday Programs, we haven’t looked back.
She is passionate about teaching children as they are especially tuned into the natural world. Once kids have a basic understanding of colour, composition and perspective, their confidence goes up exponentially.

Want to stay updated as to what the kids are up to during Holiday Camp?
Follow @Flyingyogis on insta as we will be uploading stories, photos, and activities throughout the day.
When:
Check dates of each program above. Please respect our staff and do not be late picking up children. Please see below for late pickup penalties. Please note- our main activities start around 9am…
Where:
All drop offs and pickups will be from GPower Dance Studio 272/274 Willoughby Rd, Naremburn NSW 2065.
Please note some days we may spend mornings or picnic lunches at a nearby Park.
What to Wear in General:
Gymnastics/ yoga style gear & sneakers (for park activities). Anything they can move around in alot. They will be barefoot inside for many activities- so no closed toe tights. Nothing too fancy- we use paint; go to parks; love arts and crafts… so something that can come home a little “loved”.
Late Drop offs and Early Pickups
Please call us on (02) 93860031 if you are dropping your children off late or picking them early. There are some circumstances where we may leave for the park early; or only be getting back to the studio moments before 3pm. On those days- we will let you know exactly where to pick your child up from. 30
What to Bring each day:
Meals aren’t included: please pack a hearty lunch; snacks and bottle of water. We are a complete nut free zone– so please respect this for the safety of other children.
We kindly request you take into consideration the level of processed sugars in your children’s food whilst on our camps. We are not by any stretch of the imagination judgemental about what you feed your children, however- highly sugared up children are very hard to manage. We know it’s their holidays and its time for fun and treats- but please ensure treats are moderate and ideally healthy!!
All Meals; a few $ for healthy tuckshop; Labelled water bottle; hat for outdoor days.
Tuck Shop: Due to Spontaneous Days- we wont run a tuckshop in Naremburn these Holidays
Hygiene Policies:
Due to these uncertain times, we are taking our hygiene policies very seriously, and expect all parents, children and staff to help us with the administering of these to these rules. In summary- all children are to sanitise hands on entry to studio; and various times through the day; we will have a chat with them about hand cleanliness and touching faces and community contact. Please don’t send unwell children to the studio. We know it’s flu season- but please have them checked if they present with flu conditions.

And the NOT SO SMALL PRINT!
Behaviour
Please let us know if your child has any behavioural issues. If there are tools to make your child feel at home and welcome, please share them. The less surprises we have- the better able we are to manage a child who finds new activities stressful or confronting. We will also ensure we have the correct staff on board with experience to manage children of varying points of the behaviour spectrum
We have zero tolerance on bullying or aggressive behaviour at any of our programmes. We let the children know this at the start of the day. We don’t give warnings, we will ring a parent to pick the child up. This is for the sense of safety and security of the child being bullied.
INJURIES DURING CAMP TIME:
We take every precaution possible to ensure child safety: high teacher- student ratios; first aid knowledge and administrations; setting out safety guidelines each morning. Accidents, however, do happen. And more often with children. While we will look after your child if they hurt themselves; and administer first aid; we are not liable for an injury that may occur to your child by accident during our programs. There will be an injury report to sign.
*NOW FOR THE RIOT ACT- ABOUT PICKING UP CHILDREN LATE!!
If you are more than 10 minutes late to pick up your child after 3pm, you will be charged for aftercare ($30). And please please respect our staff . They are exhausted… they want to go home; they may have after work plans;- or at the very least- they need to prepare everything for the next day’s activities. We trust you understand.
