What a celebration! This November marks a truly special milestone for the Happy Kids Yoga family: our 10th birthday! A decade has passed since we first set out on our mission to bring fun, mindful movement to children, and we couldn’t be prouder of the journey we’ve shared with thousands of happy little yogis across the UK.
From Warrington Roots to a National Movement
Ten years ago, our founder, Jen Hoe, began with a simple yet powerful idea right here in Warrington. Inspired by her background in teaching, Jen saw the immense importance of building confidence, focus, and body awareness in children. She wanted to offer those same benefits through the magic of yoga.
What started as a small, local initiative has blossomed into a national organisation. We are thrilled to now have a wonderful team and growing network of franchisees bringing joy and calm to communities in Canterbury, Leeds, Bradford, and Reading, with even more areas set to launch soon! Reaching so many children and building strong, long-standing partnerships with nurseries, schools, and local groups like The Cheshire Day Nursery and LiveWire Warrington has been a huge honour.
More Than Just a Pose: Our Promise to Happy Kids
At the heart of Happy Kids Yoga remains our simple mission: to make yoga and mindfulness accessible, engaging, and joyful for every child.
We know that yoga is more than just stretching; it’s a powerful toolkit for life. Through playful yoga adventures, breathwork, and relaxation techniques, we help children to:
- Build physical strength and coordination.
- Improve focus and concentration.
- Develop techniques for emotional well-being.
- Grow their confidence and emotional resilience.
Seeing the positive influence we have—helping little ones unroll their mats and unwind after a busy day—is what makes every moment worthwhile.
A Special Birthday Celebration
To mark this incredible 10-year journey, we recently hosted a special birthday event to thank our amazing community, partners, and the wonderful children who inspire us every day. The energy was electric, the smiles were plenty, and it was the perfect way to reflect on all the amazing achievements, including our largest-ever class teaching 90 children at the Orford Hub!
Thank you to everyone who has been a part of the Happy Kids Yoga story over the last decade. Here’s to many more years of movement, breath, and happy, healthy kids!
