MEET THE TEACHERS:

Karen Gilmour
Former Kids Program Manager of Alluem Yoga, Karen began teaching kid's yoga in Alluem's opening days in 2009. After experiencing the many benefits of yoga first hand, she knew bringing these benefits to children could help shape their awareness, self-esteem and confidence now and in their future. The most beautiful thing is watching a child come into a better understanding of self - mind, body and heart. Karen completed her Children's Yoga teacher training with Little Flower Yoga under the direction of Jennifer Cohen Harper in 2008 and the Every Kid's Yoga: Yoga for Children with Special Needs training in 2015. 
Karen is on her way to becoming a Child Life Specialist to work with the social emotional needs of children in the hospital and is currently working as an assistant at Children's Specialized Hospital. But catch her covering kids classes as needed, along with pop-up workshops!
When she isn't teaching yoga, she's usually found drawing and painting! Karen is a published illustrator and her work has been featured in Yoga Journal. Her children's books are available in the studio and anywhere books are sold!  You can find her other publications The Yoga & Mindfulness Card Deck for Kids, and one for Teens, and Activity Books at the studio and on Amazon.com!  www.karengilmour.com
Gabrielle Siani
Gabrielle is a New Jersey native originally from Cranford. It was at her home studio, Alluem Yoga, where she discovered her love for yoga in 2008. In 2015, Gabrielle moved to Boston to attend Emerson College, where she studied theater and education. While in school, Gabrielle found Yogaworks Back Bay, where she worked at the front desk, and signed up for the 200-hour teacher training program with Caitlyn Visconte and Renee LeBlanc, graduating in December 2016.
Graduating from Emerson in 2018, Gabrielle started teaching theater across Massachusetts. She’s worked in public schools, residential schools, and even taught private classes. As a teacher and nanny, Gabrielle has worked with children ranging from infants to 22-year-olds.  She has experience teaching children who’ve been displaced, have trauma, health issues, and are also living with special needs. Gabrielle loved how teaching theater, and even yoga, to some of these children brought a smile and calm to their day.
In June 2023, Gabrielle moved back to New Jersey and has been teaching yoga throughout the state. Since then, Gabrielle completed her 30-hour Restorative Training with Yoga Renew and became a Certified Health Coach through the IIN. When you come to Gabrielle’s classes, you can expect creative sequencing, a killer playlist, a good dose of challenge, and a fun time. Students describe her classes as fiery, fun, playful, and dance-like.
Tatum Snover
Tatum was born and raised in Cranford and was first introduced to yoga in the womb - while pregnant with Tatum, her mother, Theresa, attended Satsang prenatal yoga classes, laying the foundation for a lifelong connection to the practice. In 2010, Tatum began taking children's yoga classes with Karen Gilmour, where her love for movement, mindfulness, and community continued to grow.
Tatum graduated from West Chester University in 2022 with a Bachelor's degree in Philosophy and a minor in Health & Science. During her time at WCU, she completed a "Yoga 101" course, studying the anatomy of the human body and how proper posture, alignment, and mindful movement support overall strength and well-being.
In 2024, Tatum enrolled in Baker Street Yoga's 200-hour Yoga Teacher Training under the guidance of Michael Simpson, Matthew Dwyer, and Kristen Brunello in Maplewood, NJ. After earning her certification, she launched Baker Street Yoga's Kids Yoga program, introducing a brand-new offering that has since become a favorite among young students and families.
Tatum has worked with children ranging from toddlers to 15 years old and believes that every class should spark curiosity, confidence, and joy. She loves creating themed classes centered around a different mood, value, or adventure each week. Student favorites have included A Walk with Peace, Grounding Rocks, Mindful Breathing, Stars in Space, and many more.
Her classes are highly interactive and imaginative, incorporating playful partner poses, freeze dance yoga games, movement-based challenges, storytelling, and creative mindfulness activities that keep children engaged while building strength, balance, and self-awareness. Tatum also enjoys bringing yoga outdoors whenever possible, thoughtfully incorporating nature and the changing seasons into each experience through scavenger hunts, sensory exploration, seasonal crafts, and movement inspired by the world around them. Her goal is to create a welcoming space where every child feels encouraged to move, play, breathe, and connect ~ with themselves, one another, and the outdoors.
Dauna DeMarsico Jendrek
Yoga has truly evolved with me, transforming from a physical exercise to a profound spiritual practice. It's become my foundation, keeping me focused on the here and now, a vital tool in managing my anxiety, ADHD, and OCD. For years, I've had the privilege of working with individuals of all abilities and ages, fostering growth and love for their own well-being.
After 10+ years as a student, I completed my 200-hour teacher training at Bhakti Barn Yoga in Millburn, NJ in 2025, and call Alluem my home studio where I'm a substitute instructor. I'm honored to be one of their newest Alluem Kids instructors. I'm currently receiving my kids yoga certification through Little Flower Yoga, NYC.
My experience as an assistant to children's programs and founding director of preschool camp in Berkeley Heights, along with my role as a Coordinator for Special Needs programs at a non-profit in Mountainside, has shown me the transformative power of mindful movement and creative expression. This passion was also at the heart of my work at Compass SchoolHouse and Franklin Food Bank, where I spent years building best practices within teaching, community engagement, communications, and marketing. I infuse my classes with the same joyful, inclusive spirit I brought in every career move, blending traditional practice with curiosity and contemporary education, to create an engaging and empowering environment.
As a K-6 certified teacher and historian, I honor yoga's rich history and the 8 limbs, moving beyond traditional asana by incorporating contemporary music, and art into my classes. My background as a cheerleader and marketing manager fuels my creative and experimental approach, while Tricia Hersey's "Rest Is Resistance" and Glennon Doyle's "We Can Do Hard Things" guide my personal journey. This blend of spirituality and lightheartedness help me foster open, engaging environments where students of all ages feel empowered to explore their bodies, minds, and souls.
