about
Hello, I’m Martina - Yoga Therapist and the founder of Peaceful Minds Yoga.
Originally from Poland, I moved to the UK after completing a degree in International Relations. Over the years, I explored different career paths, from marketing to interior design, before discovering yoga and the profound impact it could have on both our physical and emotional wellbeing.
The story behind Peaceful Minds Yoga
Fitness always played an important part of my life but yoga has never been just an activity for me - it has been a constant presence, a source of strength and a guide through the twists and turns of life.
Yoga taught me how to be in control of my emotions rather than emotions controlling me. The more I practised, the more I fell in love with this ancient practice even more and felt drawn to share it with others. My journey eventually took me to Bali, where I immersed myself in Hatha and Vinyasa yoga. Alongside the physical practice asanas, meditation became an important part of my everyday life.
Becoming a mother of two brought another meaningful chapter to my journey. It encouraged to look at yoga in a different way and discover how its benefits could extend far beyond the traditional practice.
Through my personal experiences and growing understanding of neurodiversity, I developed a deep interest in how yoga could support children who experience and engage with the world in their own unique ways.
This became a strong calling to explore yoga therapy for neurodivergent children and to understand how movement, breathing mindfulness and connection could help nurture self-regulation , confidence, focus and emotional wellbeing.
This led me to undertake specialised yoga training designed to support children with Austism and ADHD. I learnt how yoga could be thoughtfully adapted to improve focus, self-regulation and emotional well-being in kids who often struggle with traditional learning and movement practices.
What started as a personal journey has now become my life’s work
Today, I create yoga classes specifically designed with neurodivergent children, creating a joyful, inclusive space where kids can feel safe, accepted, and empowered. Every child is different, and my approach is always flexible - some days are full of movement and laughter, while others are quiet and soothing.
In my classes there is no "one size fits all" approach.
Every child is different, and every session can look different too. Some days might be full of movement, laughter and energy, while others may call for quiet, calming and soothing practices.
I follow the child in front of me - adapting, listening and creating space for them to feel comfortable in their own way.
For me yoga isn't getting the perfect pose or sitting perfectly still.
It's about helping children discover tools they can use to understand their bodies, navigate their emotions, find moments of calm and build confidence in themselves.
And sometimes, it's simply about having fun.
A little about what yoga has thought me
Working with neurodivergent children has taught me as much as yoga itself.
I've discovered the beauty of seeing the world differently, the power of patience and the importance of meeting each child exactly where they are.
It has reminded me that progress doesn't always look the way we expect it to and that sometimes the smallest moments can be the most meaningfull.
I believe every child deserves to feel that they belong.
And that's what I hope to create through Peaceful Minds Yoga: a space where children don't need to change who they are in order to shine.
Having then discovered many parents in a very similar situation I was inspired to share my unique approach and framework with others.
my mission
Neurodivergent children with Autism and ADHD often face significant challenges in areas like focus, stress management, and self-confidence.
My mission is to create a safe space where every child feels valued and empowered, focusing on what they can do rather than what others say they cannot.
My values guide everything I do at Peaceful Minds Yoga and will be the cornerstones from which I grow the business. They include:
- Compassion
- Patience
- Acceptance
- Peace
- Kindness
