I AM ZEN Kids classes introduce children to the world of mindful movement, promoting physical activity while enhancing their mental well-being.
A fun way for children to connect with their bodies and develop a healthy relationship with movement.
Stress busting techniques
Through gentle yoga poses, breathing exercises, and relaxation techniques, children learn how to navigate stress and find a sense of calm that lasts way beyond the class.
Boosts Concentration and Focus
Mindfulness activities not only enhance attention spans but also provide valuable tools that can be applied to schoolwork and daily tasks.
Encourages Self-Expression
Our classes foster creativity and self-expression. Children can express themselves in a non-judgmental and supportive environment, promoting a positive sense of self.
Builds Confidence and Self-Esteem
As children master new poses and connect with their breath, their confidence and self-esteem naturally grow, contributing to a positive self-image.
I AM ZEN Kids yoga creates a positive association with physical activity and mindfulness, encouraging a healthy lifestyle that can benefit them throughout their lives.
So much more than just a pose 💜

Teaching children to believe in the power of believing in themselves, mind, body and soul.
My name is Katie, owner and founder of I am Zen NI.
I founded I am Zen because of my own passion for mindfulness and yoga which I first discovered the benefits of 7yrs ago after the birth of my 2nd daughter. Totally overwhelmed with the responsibility for two tiny humans I was super anxious.
Anxiety wasn’t a stranger to me, I’d been there before, I’d been there a million times, I was an anxious child who became an anxious teen and then an anxious adult.
Starting yoga, I was quickly hooked!
The time to relax and just simply ‘be’ was invaluable and over time I noticed massive changes personally in how I approached situations in life and how I could put the practices I’d learnt in class into my everyday life. I wish I’d been taught these tools as a child and I knew then that I wanted to teach them to children everywhere. Teach them to believe in the power of believing in themselves, mind, body and soul❤️
Armed with my knowledge for setting up a business I started to look deeper into the benefits of yoga for children, I trained, I practiced and I took support and guidance from the beautiful souls around me and I leaped into the unknown!
I’m so glad I did; I had no idea of the impact I am Zen would make to not only the lives of the children I meet but to their parents, carers, brothers and sisters. I love when someone tells me their child has come home and talked about class or taught their siblings poses and techniques.
It really warms my heart and I will be forever grateful to every single person who has joined me on my journey and believed 🧘♀️🧘♂️🙏🏻❤️
