Rane LIM
Kids Yoga teacher
Rane discovered yoga in 2015 as a way to complement her cardio workouts and improve flexibility. What began as a physical practice soon became a mental refuge from the demands of her corporate HR career. After 20 years in HR, Rane switched paths in 2017, earning a diploma in Early Childhood Care and Education and working with preschoolers.
​
In 2022, Rane made a clean break from corporate life and became a certified Children's Yoga Teacher, inspired by her mentor, Karen Wightman. She now shares her love of yoga with children aged 4 to 12 through theme-based, playful classes designed to make yoga fun and engaging. Rane also leads community holiday programs for children from low-income families.
