Our Story

In 2017, Monkinya started as a yoga and mindfulness platform for families with a passion for helping young people grow mindfully and live consciously.

Inspired by the children’s book by Kids Yoga Teacher, Merve, Monkinya is an imaginary country where little humans, “Monkins,” are raised in a world full of love and respect - for nature, themselves and others. Just like us, the quirky Monkin tribe are all different. They grow up knowing their true potential and learn to love and accept themselves just as they are.

At the heart of Monkinya is the belief that we can really make a difference in young people’s lives by nurturing positive beliefs from an early age. The blank canvas of childhood is the perfect place to sow the seeds for a happy, peaceful and mindful life – rather than needing to heal problems or false beliefs in adulthood.

Through in-person and virtual yoga classes, mindfulness courses, workshops, and printable products, Monkinya has been teaching children empathy, respect, mindfulness and much more in a charming, light hearted way.
