Welcome to my world, where yoga mats meet imagination, and life is a canvas for dreams! I’m DeAri Loggins, a proud mom, entrepreneur, educator, and adventurer at heart. I believe in living boldly, breaking molds, and rewriting the rules—because why color inside the lines when you can create your own masterpiece? Think Harold and the Purple Crayon, but with yoga mats, crayons, and a sprinkle of pixie dust.
In 2016, my first “Little Yogi,” Leiana Meadow Johnston, was born. She brought with her the inspiration for a lifelong passion project that would transform not just my life, but the lives of countless families. Just two months after becoming a mom, I took a leap of faith, building The Little Yogis with little savings and a whole lot of heart. Fueled by my love of yoga, education, and empowering youth, I stepped into the unknown, trusting that growth and magic live just beyond our comfort zones.
Fast forward to 2019, when my second “Little Yogi,” Eliza Rayne Johnston, joined the adventure, and my world expanded once again. Staying home with my girls was a lesson in harmony, joy, and navigating the beautiful chaos of life. It was also the spark for growing The Little Yogis into a movement—one that empowers others to follow their passions and build their dreams. From mobile yoga programs to satellite studios, we’ve reimagined what’s possible, proving that with grit, gratitude, and a touch of daring, even the wildest dreams can come true.
Roswell, Georgia, is where I call home, but Decatur will forever hold my roots. One day, I envision The Little Yogis shining there too. Until then, you’ll find me teaching yoga, pilates, and the art of living fully—whether to toddlers taking their first mindful breaths or adults rediscovering their inner child. Life, to me, is a symphony of self-discovery, harmony, and laughter.
I’m here to remind everyone that self-evolution is a dance with the unknown, and every step is worth it. So grab your purple crayon—or a yoga mat—and let’s create the life we’ve always dreamed of
