Find Balance Within
The Magic Of...
Is a gentle and imaginative wellbeing brand that nurtures mindfulness, movement, and emotional resilience in young children. Through our beautifully illustrated storybooks, yoga flashcards, calming posters, and magical resources, we help parents, carers, and educators introduce simple yoga, breathing, and self-regulation practices in a joyful, age-appropriate way. Rooted in nature and storytelling, everything we create is designed to bring a sense of calm, confidence, and connection, helping little ones grow up with tools to support their wellbeing from the very start.
Workshops
Our day-long workshops run throughout the school holidays and offer a calm, nurturing space for children to relax, recharge, and reconnect with themselves.
We offer two age-appropriate sessions:
-
Younger children enjoy a 4-hour workshop, filled with playful yoga, creative mindfulness, gentle storytelling, and calming activities.
-
Older children join us for a 6-hour workshop, exploring deeper practices through storytelling, guided breathwork, mindful movement, and fun, thoughtful tools they can take home and use in daily life.
Each day includes a 45-minute picnic-style lunch break, with delicious, homecooked meals provided by a trusted local small business. All meals are healthy, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared to suit all dietary needs.
Our workshops are designed to inspire wellbeing, spark imagination, and support emotional resilience – all while feeling like a peaceful adventure.

The Magic of Storytelling
A beautifully illustrated storybook series designed to introduce young children to yoga, mindfulness, and emotional wellbeing in a simple, enchanting way. Created to be read together, the books invite children and their grown-ups to slow down, connect, and discover practical tools they can use in everyday life. With soft watercolour illustrations, inclusive characters, and a calming, nature-led tone, these books help nurture kindness, confidence, and calm in young minds – one mindful moment at a time.
Illustrating the Magic
Every page of The Magic of... is hand-drawn and painted by our illustrator, Lily, using soft watercolours and delicate pencil lines. Her gentle, storybook style creates a sense of calm and wonder — perfect for helping children feel safe, curious, and connected.
Inspired by peaceful countryside scenes and timeless tales, Lily’s artwork brings each mindful moment to life with warmth and care. Every illustration is made by hand, giving the books a truly personal, magical feel.
