Mindful play & yoga for children
Helping little bodies and big emotions work together through wiggles, giggles, movement and calm 🧘🏻♀️
Monkinya is:
play - based
We take play seriously! By incorporating movement, games, and mindfulness, children build resilience and emotional strength in a fun and engaging way.
built on natural curiosity
Monkinya is built on children’s natural curiosity to engage, problem-solve, and connect; encouraging critical thinking and creativity.
attachment - centered
Healthy attachment is the foundation for resilience and emotional well-being. We support families in connecting with their children in playful & authentic ways.
Monkinya is for…
Present parents
Mindfulness begins with you. It’s not about being the “perfect parent.” It’s about being a present parent. Less overwhelmed, less guilty, and more connected to your kids and yourself.
The whole child
It is every child's right to access the right tools and opportunities to learn mindfulness from an early age. We offer printable tools, workshops and in-person & virtual classes for children.
Inspiring educators
A community for educators worldwide, where they can learn from each other, share best practices, and cherish their passion for raising resilient children.
Accessible mindfulness for your littles:

It all started 10 years ago, with a dream of bringing yoga and mindfulness into little hearts and homes. That dream grew into Monkinya — a cozy space for children, families, and educators to explore big feelings, build emotional resilience, and connect through play and curiosity.
My work is rooted in the belief that children are natural adventurers, always ready to wonder, question, and discover. The best learning happens when we follow their lead, turning curiosity into connection. At Monkinya, yoga and mindfulness are a living, breathing, playful journey filled with laughter, wonder, and heart.
