Jen Hoe, founder
With a deep passion for yoga and mindfulness, I founded Happy Kids Yoga in 2015 to bring joy, calm and confidence to children through fun, engaging classes. As a mum, educator and yoga teacher, I understand the challenges kids face today, which is why our classes support not only physical strength and flexibility but also emotional wellbeing and life skills like focus and resilience.
I am so proud of the growth we have achieved and the amazing team of teachers and franchisees who are helping us spread the magic of Happy Kids Yoga. Whether you are a parent, educator or future franchisee, I am excited for you to join us on this journey.
More than a class. A movement.
If you would like to bring yoga to your school or nursery, or even start your own Happy Kids Yoga franchise, we would love to hear from you.
