Becoming aware of our own mind at a young age can prepare us for this. Why do you think mindfulness is so important for our little ones?Īs we grow up, it’s easy to get swept up in thoughts, emotions and influence. And you’re making space in your life to make a difference in the world! If you can notice what is happening to you emotionally, and forgive yourself for it, maybe even laugh about it, life is easier. Why do you think every household should practise mindfulness?Ī household where mindfulness is practised is a more positive and less stressful place. I believe this is the foundation of mental health. As a result I wasn’t very good at recognising or understanding my feelings - really until my 30’s! This is what I want to help kids with - to honour and understand their emotions in a positive and objective way at an early stage. My parents broke up when I was 8 and I coped by disregarding my own feelings and focusing on keeping everyone else happy.

I believed stories could help kids understand themselves better and help them learn how to deal with real-life situations.

I started to see yoga poses as a sort of vocabulary for storytelling, which I found really exciting. Having seen the combination of movement and storytelling working at kids’ parties, I went on to train as an adults yoga teacher, getting my RYT200. The most notable being teaching kids yoga!Ĭan you tell us a little bit about the Cosmic Kids journey? What inspired you? I decided to dive into yoga more seriously which not only helped me find my ground but also opened up new doors. At this point I had a big rethink about what I was going to do. I also decided I wanted a break from being an actor. I then met Martin, my husband, and we decided to move to the countryside.

Getting the kids moving while they were engaged in the story really held their attention. I started adding yoga poses to the fairy stories I was telling. Dressing up as a fairy, princess or pirate, telling stories, playing games and generally being a big kid! I learnt a lot about kids during my time as an entertainer. In between acting jobs I paid the bills by entertaining at kids’ parties. I first started to practise yoga at drama school. Can you tell us a little bit about your journey and story?
