about us
Our Mission
Our mission is to empower children and young people through holistic wellness practices.
We provide a safe and supportive space where everyone can explore holistic wellbeing and develop essential life skills.
Our innovative mindfulness, yoga, creativity and meditation programs are safe, non-competitive, and invite children to be
themselves, helping them build confidence, strength, and resilience in their bodies and minds.
By positively impacting children and young peoples mental health, we help reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional
challenges, inspiring the next generation to lead healthy, mindful, and balanced lives.
Using the principles of yoga, our classes provide a sense of oneness, encouraging children and young people to trust in their body and own ability.
We remove all competitiveness which makes these classes ideal for those who don’t like the competitive nature of other sports.
Our classes are a fantastic way for children to find balance, connection and focus whilst having fun and learning skills that will support them through life..

Six Bricks is a concept designed to excite and motivate young children.
Through fun and short activities with sets of LEGO® DUPLO® bricks in six bright colours children can practice their memory, movement, creativity and more.
The Six Bricks activities are short, simple exercises or games designed to wake up the brain and get the child moving, thinking and remembering.

- My daughter goes to Katie’s Teen Yoga Class and she looks forward to it every week. She adores Katie and this has helped her so much. The classes are so much more than yoga, there is mindfulness, journaling and great techniques for relaxing.
