About Marta

Marta_Otaduy.jpeg

Hi, I'm Marta

I'm the founder of Mini Zen Children's Yoga®, a qualified school teacher, children's yoga and mindfulness educator, and the creator of yoga and wellbeing programmes used by schools, families and educators.

Originally from Spain and now based in Italy, I work internationally in English, Spanish and Italian, supporting schools, teachers and parents in bringing movement, mindfulness and emotional wellbeing into children's everyday lives.

My background combines education, counselling and children's yoga, allowing me to create practical programmes that are engaging, evidence-informed and easy to implement in classrooms and at home.

Today I combine my passion for yoga with my work as a secondary school teacher, helping children build confidence, emotional resilience, focus and self-awareness through movement, storytelling, breathing and play.

Through Mini Zen Children's Yoga®, I design school wellbeing programmes, deliver teacher trainings, create online courses, lead family retreats and develop resources that make children's yoga accessible to educators and families around the world.

 

When I'm not teaching, you'll usually find me reading, walking my dogs or dreaming up new ideas to help children thrive.
