Meet Sam
Hi, I’m Sam, the proud owner of Happy Kids Yoga Leeds Bradford!
From a young age, I’ve always known that my purpose in life is to help people. That passion led me to study Counselling, Coaching and Mentoring at university, which laid the foundation for what has now been over a decade of working with vulnerable children and adults across a variety of settings. Supporting others with their mental and physical health, wellbeing, disabilities and more has been incredibly rewarding, and along the way, I discovered the power of Mindfulness. It was a real epiphany for me, both personally and professionally.
In September 2023, I qualified as a Mindfulness Practitioner, and soon after, I began training in different styles of yoga. I’ve practised yoga myself for over 10 years, attending retreats and workshops to deepen my understanding of the philosophy and ancient teachings, many of which feel more relevant today than ever.
When I’m not teaching, you’ll most likely find me out in nature or curled up with a good book and a cup of tea, with my two cats keeping me company!

Every child deserves to move, breathe and grow
Sam runs calm, structured yoga for small groups of pupils with additional needs: in special schools, in SEN units and resource bases, and with small groups taken out of a mainstream class.
Twenty minutes, the same shape every week: a short flow, poses with picture cards, breathing and a rest at the end. Sameness is the point. Pupils follow pictures rather than spoken instructions, choice cards let a pupil point or reach instead of finding the words, and a look, a reach or a sound all count as joining in.
A member of your staff stays in the room and we follow their lead on every pupil. Every teacher is trained for additional needs as part of their children’s yoga qualification, with our own SEN training on top.
