Wellness for kids and families

About Me

 

 

 

 

 

Hi, I’m Valentina – founder of Joy Yoga Kids and Creative Unwellness.

I’ve dedicated my life to creating safe, soulful spaces where children and families can connect, breathe, express, and grow—together. My work blends yoga, Expressive Arts Therapy, mindfulness, and emotional education to support the full spectrum of well-being: physical, emotional, and psychological.

At the heart of everything I do is a simple but powerful belief: every child and family deserves to feel whole, seen, and joyful.

With years of experience in education, movement, and therapeutic arts, I guide children and parents through creative practices that strengthen bodies, calm minds, and open hearts. My classes are never just about poses or paint—they're invitations to explore, express, and discover the joy of being yourself.

Through Joy Yoga Kids, I create playful, nurturing environments where kids can stretch, move, and unwind. Through Creative Unwellness, I offer spaces for deeper emotional exploration—using art and mindfulness as tools for healing, resilience, and self-discovery.

I teach with warmth, intention, and care. Whether we’re balancing on one foot or exploring with watercolors, my goal is always the same: to empower each child and family to thrive.

This work is my passion, my purpose, and my joy. I’m so glad you’re here.

With love,
Valentina

Yoga  for kids

In my yoga class for kids, the beautiful combination of yoga and creativity creates a magical space where children can freely express themselves, learn, and blossom. By infusing playfulness and art into our yoga sessions, we empower children to explore their own unique abilities and discover endless possibilities in a
joyful and captivating manner. I foster a sense of togetherness and unity by seamlessly integrating various art forms such as dance, music, storytelling,
crafts, and interactive games. We adapt to the language of the children and actively engage them in these creative activities, nurturing their imagination and allowing them to express their thoughts and emotions in a wholesome and positive way. Within the yoga class, children embark on a journey of self- discovery as they explore a variety of yoga poses and movements. Alongside these physical explorations, they also indulge in creative endeavors like drawing, painting, or crafting. Through these expressive activities, children learn how to connect their bodies and minds, fostering coordination, balance, and concentration.
Moreover, they develop valuable communication skills by sharing their unique ideas and creations with their peers. By seamlessly blending art into our yoga classes, we offer children a powerful tool for self-expression and exploration. Art provides a

safe and nurturing outlet for them to convey their deepest emotions and experiences, surpassing the limitations of words alone. Join us in this warm and inviting environment, where yoga and
creativity intertwine, inviting children to embark on a magical journey of self-discovery, self-expression, and growth. This class is great for birthday parties.!

Art therapy for families -

A safe, creative space for children and parents to express, connect, and heal—together.

What We Do

Through drawing, painting, collage, and more, families explore emotions, build resilience, and strengthen bonds in a supportive, confidential setting. Led by a caring, professional art therapist, each session empowers families to grow through the creative process.

Our Goals

  • Feel Safely
    Explore emotions without judgment in a warm, supportive environment.

  • Face Challenges
    Develop coping strategies and navigate tough times together.

  • Create Freely
    Express thoughts and feelings beyond words.

  • Gain Insight
    Discover new perspectives and build self-awareness.

  • Grow Stronger
    Strengthen your family’s resilience through art.

  • Bond Deeply
    Improve communication and unity through shared creativity.

Therapeutic Activities

  • Emotion Art
    Use colors, shapes, and textures to express emotions visually.

  • Family Collage
    Collaborate on a shared piece that reflects your family's journey.

    Tell personal stories through images—insightful for both kids and parents.

Movement & Music Class

Move, play, connect—naturally.

In my yoga classes, I prioritize the use of natural and handmade materials, including handmade instruments, toys, and mandalas crafted from seeds and treasures found in nature. This conscious choice is made with the utmost care for the health and well-being of the children.

By incorporating these natural elements into our yoga practice, we create a deeper connection to the world around us and foster a sense of appreciation and respect for nature. These handmade materials not only enhance the sensory experience but also promote a sustainable and eco-friendly approach to our yoga journey.

Through the use of natural and handmade materials, we invite children to explore and engage with the textures, scents, and sounds that nature provides. This sensory exploration stimulates their curiosity, creativity, and imagination, while also promoting a sense of grounding and connection to the earth.

By nurturing this connection with the natural world, we aim to instill in children a deep sense of reverence for the environment and a desire to care for our planet. It is my belief that by using natural and handmade materials, we create a nurturing and harmonious space where children can thrive, both physically and emotionally.

Join me in these special yoga classes where we embrace the beauty of nature, using natural and handmade materials to promote the health and well-being of our children. Together, let's embark on a journey of mindful exploration and connection with the world around us.

Celebrating Your Child's Special Day with Mindful Fun

​

Looking for a birthday party that’s joyful, meaningful, and unforgettable? A yoga birthday party blends movement, mindfulness, and fun to create lasting memories and support your child’s well-being—all in a playful, inclusive environment.

Why choose a yoga party?

Holistic well-being: Yoga combines movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to help kids feel calm, confident, and emotionally balanced.

One-of-a-kind celebration: Skip the usual party routine. Yoga parties are unique, creative, and filled with laughter, storytelling, and imagination.

All kids welcome: Yoga is inclusive and adaptable for every child, promoting confidence and a sense of belonging.

Creative and fun: Themed yoga adventures (like jungle safari, space explorers, or enchanted forest) spark imagination and keep kids fully engaged.

Yoga face painting: Add a magical touch with yoga painting—a fun, gentle face painting activity that complements the party’s theme and enhances the experience.

Builds connection: Group poses, games, and partner yoga strengthen friendships and encourage teamwork.

Healthy and active: Instead of sugar-fueled chaos, kids enjoy movement that supports strength, flexibility, and coordination.

Mindful and joyful: Mindfulness activities help children slow down, be present, and truly enjoy their celebration.

Eco-friendly option: Outdoor yoga parties are nature-connected, low-waste, and easy on the planet.

Whether in your backyard, at a park, or in a cozy studio, a yoga birthday party brings joy, calm, and connection to your child’s special day—with a splash of creativity through yoga-themed face painting.
