breathe life into your children with these very words.
In life we will always strive to be the best versions of ourselves but in a tech heavy world filled with social media, driven by images, images which we often measure ourselves up against.
Let’s remind our children that, that image isn’t real, let’s remind them that they are enough, let’s remind them that kindness will always far outweigh any other trait they find in themselves or in others for it is a kind heart that see’s the beauty in everything ❤️

Parents often say to me “I wish I could bottle what you do in class.”
The truth is, the magic isn’t the yoga poses, it’s the structure that helps children move from busy to calm.
That’s exactly what I’ve shared inside The Calm at Home Blueprint.
If you’d like a simple routine you can use with your child at home, you can explore it here

Tools for Life
Big emotions are a normal part of childhood but children don’t always know what to do with them.
Tools for Life is a 6-week emotional wellbeing program for children aged 6–11, designed to help them feel calm, confident and resilient in everyday life.
This program which we usually only delivered in schools, is now available as a small group class at I Am Zen Studio.
Across the six weeks, children will learn practical, child-friendly tools to:
✔ understand and manage their emotions
✔ calm their body and mind
✔ build confidence and resilience
✔ express themselves through creativity and teamwork
This is not therapy. Instead, children are gently taught tools drawn from the I Am Zen toolkit, including mindfulness, self regulation techniques, EFT tapping, Six Bricks LEGO® activities, movement and creative play, tools they can use at home, in school and beyond.
✨ Ages 6–11
✨ Small group setting
✨ 6-week program
✨ only 2 spaces left

Big emotions can be hard when you’re little.
Children aren’t born knowing how to calm their nervous systems or understand their feelings — these are skills that can be learnt
Our Tools for Life programme gently helps children build emotional awareness, confidence and practical calming strategies they can use every day.
The next programme is starting soon.
💛 Message me if you’d like more information.

TOOLS FOR LIFE RETURNS
Our 6-week emotional wellbeing programme for children aged 7–11yrs, supporting:
✔ Emotional regulation
✔ Confidence
✔ Coping skills
✔ Resilience
Behind every class, therapy session, yoga mat and moment of calm inside the I Am Zen hub … is a woman who cares deeply about supporting others.
Each of these women bring kindness, knowledge, experience, warmth and a genuine desire to support the wellbeing of others.
I feel incredibly lucky that the little idea I had years ago for children’s yoga has grown into a community hub where women support families, children and each other every day.
And to every woman who has …taught here,held a circle here, attended a class here, or simply walked through the doors…
you are part of this community too.

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 🧘♀️🧘♂️🙏🏻❤️
