Meditation and Mindfulness Classes in Cyprus and Beyond
At Kids Meditation, I offer a diverse range of meditation and mindfulness classes tailored specifically for children aged 3 to 17
From personalised sessions to nurturing group experiences, I’m here to provide the guidance and support your child needs to navigate their emotions, build resilience, and thrive.
Private Classes
My private classes provide personalised attention and a nurturing environment for individual growth and development. These classes are available both online and in-person, allowing flexibility and accessibility for families from various locations.
Small Group Classes
My small group classes are an excellent choice for those who prefer a more social and interactive experience. These sessions create a supportive community, fostering connections and friendships while learning essential mindfulness techniques.
School Programs
I am proud to collaborate with schools to bring mindfulness and meditation directly into the classroom setting. Whether it’s a one-off session, regular classes, or an after-school club, my programs are designed to enhance emotional well-being, focus, and academic performance.
Special Events
I actively participate in special events dedicated to promoting mental health and well-being, such as World Mental Health Week. I organise unique sessions to raise awareness about the importance of mindfulness in nurturing a healthy mind and spirit.
Private Sessions
In my personalised 45-minute private sessions, I offer the flexibility of conducting the sessions in my dedicated space or in the comfort of your own home, depending on your child’s age. When we start working together, we’ll take a few moments to discuss the importance of looking after your child’s mental health. For students I see regularly, we’ll chat about their week and whether there are any particular challenges or issues they’d like to discuss.
The Meditation Sessions Progress At Your Child's Comfort Level
If your child prefers not to talk or isn’t sure what to bring up, that’s perfectly fine. I create a space for them, allowing anything to naturally arise as we proceed with the class. Together, we’ll explore areas where we can use meditation tools to work on those aspects. Some of the tools we use include energy balancing exercises, yoga poses, and focused breathing exercises.
Testimonials

Tailored Support For Each Child
What sets my classes apart is their adaptability. No two weeks are ever the same, as I tailor each class to address the specific needs of your child. By observing how they’re feeling and considering their preferences, I’m able to adjust the session on the spot, ensuring that it resonates with them on a deeper level. This personalised approach ensures that your child receives the maximum benefit from each session as we work together to create a holistic and nurturing experience. We’ll chat about their week and whether there are any particular challenges or issues they’d like to discuss.
Private Classes (Online)
These online classes offer the same benefits as the in-person sessions, with the added advantage of flexibility and accessibility, particularly for individuals who may not be in the same location or even the same country. Through video conferencing platforms, we can connect virtually and create a space for your child to engage in meditation and mindfulness practices. The core structure and content of the classes remain the same, ensuring that your child receives the same level of attention, guidance, and support as they would in an in-person session.
Empower Your Child's Mental Well-Being From Anywhere
The online format allows us to maintain a strong connection and provide the tools necessary for your child’s mental well-being, regardless of physical distance. It’s a convenient and effective way to access my classes, opening doors for children and families who are unable to attend in-person sessions. By joining my online private classes, your child can still benefit from a personalised approach, tailored activities, and a nurturing environment that supports their growth and development.

Private / Online Class Process
Book a Free Consultation
Start by booking a free 20-minute consultation with me. This conversation helps me understand your child’s needs, challenges, and goals.
Initial Session
Our first class is all about creating a comfortable and supportive environment. For younger children, parents are welcome to be present during the class if preferred.
Tailored Curriculum
After the first class, you can choose to enrol in additional sessions based on your child’s needs and interests.
Communication with Parents
As a parent, you naturally want to know how your child is progressing. Whilst I value transparency, I prioritise your child’s trust and comfort. Any sensitive issues are treated with care, and I’ll report serious concerns as needed.
Focus of the Sessions
Throughout our private/online sessions, I’ll emphasise core exercises designed to enhance mindfulness, improve focus, and promote emotional well-being. Through personalised
sessions, I provide a space for them to develop essential life skills and a deeper sense of self-awareness.
Group Classes
In my group classes, which last 60 minutes, I create a small and intimate environment where children within the same age range can come together and learn. Similar to my private classes, we discuss the importance of mental health and well-being. We then proceed with energy balancing exercises, yoga, and focused breathing exercises. During group classes, we engage in various activities catering to individual and collective experiences. Some activities are done individually, such as mandala meditation, where each child has the opportunity to express themselves creatively. We also incorporate group activities like “pass a laugh,” which fosters connection and laughter among the participants.
I Meet Each Child Exactly Where They Are At And Respect Their Boundaries And Comfort Levels
It’s important to note that in group classes, I understand that not all children may feel comfortable participating in every activity, and that’s perfectly okay. I meet each child exactly where they are at and respect their boundaries and comfort levels. Just as in my private sessions, my aim is to provide a supportive and inclusive environment where each child can explore mindfulness and well-being at their own pace.
Testimonials

Reach Out
To ensure the best fit for your child, you have the option to book a free 20-minute consultation. Alternatively, feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may
have.
Arrive on Time
It’s essential for all participants to arrive on time for each session. Punctuality ensures that each child can fully participate and benefit from the entire meditation experience.
Drop Off
Parents can simply drop off their children at the designated location. This provides a chance for kids to engage with their peers and immerse themselves in the meditation experience.
Initial Session
Our first group class is an exciting opportunity for children within the same age range to come together and explore mindfulness. During this session, I’ll introduce myself to the group and explain what meditation and mindfulness is.
Ongoing Exploration
As we continue with the group classes, children will explore a variety of meditation techniques and mindfulness practices. Each session is carefully curated to be engaging, interactive, and age-appropriate sessions. I provide a space for them to develop essential life skills and a deeper sense of self-awareness.
Emphasising Comfort and Core Practices
While understanding that each child has unique comfort levels, my aim is to ensure everyone feels at ease in our group sessions. I integrate core exercises and activities that are curated to boost mindfulness, relaxation, and emotional well-being.
Why Private/Online Classes Might Be More Ideal For Your Child
Your Child's Comfort in Social Settings
We understand that not every child thrives in group settings, especially when it comes to learning sensitive skills like meditation and mindfulness. Private and online classes offer a one-on-one or virtual environment where your child can comfortably engage without the pressures of social interactions.
Navigating Challenges with Sensitivity
Life’s challenges, such as trauma or divorce, can deeply impact a child’s emotional state. Private and online classes provide a safe space where your child can explore mindfulness and meditation without feeling exposed or vulnerable. This individualised approach allows us to address specific concerns and tailor the sessions to meet your child’s unique needs.
Valuing Privacy
We respect that both parents and children value their privacy. Private and online classes ensure that your child’s journey towards well-being remains confidential and personalised. This approach is particularly beneficial when dealing with personal topics or when cultivating a sense of trust and comfort between the instructor and the child.
Addressing Social Anxiety
Children who experience social anxiety might find group settings overwhelming. Private and online classes create an environment free from peer pressure or the fear of
judgment. This empowers your child to engage in mindfulness and meditation practices without any unnecessary stress, allowing them to fully immerse themselves in the experience.
Flexibility in Scheduling
We understand that your child may have a busy schedule with school, extracurricular activities, and other commitments. Private and online classes offer greater flexibility in scheduling, allowing you to choose a time that works best for your child, ensuring they can fully immerse themselves in the sessions.
Confidence Building
Private and online classes provide a space where your child can build their confidence without any external pressures. This empowerment encourages them to take ownership of their mindfulness practice and apply the skills they learn in various aspects of their life.
