About us

Every child deserves to move, breathe and grow

At Happy Kids Yoga we believe every child should have the chance to move, breathe and grow in a fun, supportive space. Our sessions bring calm, confidence and connection to children in nurseries, schools, clubs and communities.

Through movement, breathwork and relaxation we help children build strength, focus and emotional resilience, skills that last a lifetime.

The benefits

Why yoga for kids?

Yoga is more than movement. It gives children tools they keep for life.

Focus and concentration

Balancing and breathing teach children to settle their attention on one thing.

Confidence and self esteem

Every pose is a small win, and there is no such thing as getting it wrong.

Body awareness and coordination

Strength, balance and motor skills, built through play.

Tools for big feelings

Simple breathing and relaxation children can reach for when they need them.

Schools and nurseries

A wellbeing partner for your setting

Three nurseries and a primary school have had Happy Kids Yoga every week for more than ten years. In Children’s Mental Health Week 2026 our teachers delivered 1,589 child session places across five areas in a single week.

Sessions slot into PE, circle time or the end of the day, with no equipment needed from you. Every teacher holds an enhanced DBS and is covered by £5m public liability insurance.

Sam led a wonderful workshop for our Rainbows. The activities were pitched perfectly for their understanding and abilities. They all joined in enthusiastically throughout the session and had lots of fun. Sam ensured that each Rainbow was engaged and dished out lots of praise. Thank you for a fantastic evening and we are looking forward to booking you again for a Christmas workshop.

Happy Kids Yoga was fantastic for Rainbows! The girls were completely engaged throughout and really enjoyed the combination of yoga, storytelling, and learning about the world. I would highly recommend it. Such a wonderful class—thank you!

Jen is amazing! She clearly cares so deeply about the services she offers and I'm fully on board! I attended a webinar during children's mental health week and she gave some great tips which I have implemented in my own home with my 3 year old - and he loves it!! I hope Happy Kids Yoga's vision spreads far and wide to benefit as many families/schools/nurseries as possible

My 11yo son and I had a great time in the Happy Kids Yoga tipi at Warrington Wellbeing festival. We had a lovely session of gentle yoga and a relaxing sound bath experience. It was great to spend some quality time together and enjoy new experiences away from the busy weekend routine. Thank you so much to Happy Kids Yoga! 🤩

My 9-year-old daughter has been attending Happy Kids Yoga sessions for some time, and they’ve become a wonderful part of her routine. She finds them incredibly relaxing, engaging, and the perfect way to unwind at the end of a busy school day. Jen is fantastic, and I highly recommend her and Happy Kids Yoga to other parents looking for a calming and enjoyable activity for their children.

My tween loves Happy Kids Yoga and I have attended mum and daughter yoga with her too. It is a great opportunity for her to exercise but more importantly to benefit from mindfulness and relaxation. Jen is amazing at leading the sessions, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere and promoting holistic wellness. X
