Namaste! I'm Gagan
Yoga teacher, mother, and founder of The Mindful Kids
Like you, I want our children to thrive with confidence and inner peace. My journey with yoga and mindfulness began in childhood in India, bringing me profound calm.
Practising yoga and mindfulness with my own children inspired me to bring the same playful routines into classes and school workshops.
As an immigrant in the Netherlands, I learned early on that adaptation is a strength, but it also comes at a cost. You learn to function, but sometimes forget to feel. That experience taught me that emotional skills don't come automatically — they need to be practised, just like reading or maths.
Our brand family
The Mindful Kids is the public brand for all children's, family, school, BSO, and childcare programmes. The Mindful NL is our company and social-media name. AATAM Studio is my separate programme for adults.
Rainbow Feelings translates this philosophy for children. We don't teach children what to feel. We help them unblock what's already inside them — through story, breath, movement and play.
Prevention, not therapy
I believe children can practise emotional vocabulary, breathing, movement, and reflection before a difficult moment arrives. These are educational wellbeing tools, not therapy or medical care.
I'm now dedicated to sharing these vital tools through dedicated workshops with your family, empowering every child to grow into their most confident, joyful self.
