ABOUT US
About US
Hi, I’m Amanda Nicholas, the founder of Flourish Kids Yoga & Fitness. With over a decade of experience as an early childhood educator, I have always been passionate about weaving movement and mindfulness into children’s learning. During my years in early education, I integrated yoga and fitness into my programming, creating life-changing impacts on my focus children’s development.
​
My journey then took a deeply personal turn into Motherhood. As a mother of two energetic boys, I saw firsthand how yoga nurtured not only their physical growth but also their emotional well-being. This experience reinforced my belief in the power of movement, breath, and mindfulness for children.
​
As both an educator and a mother, I am dedicated to lifelong learning and growth. I am a certified Children’s Yoga and Yoga Therapy instructor through Zenergy Yoga Teacher Training, a qualified Personal Trainer, and an Effortless Meditation teacher through Centred Meditation. Beyond working with children, I also lead fitness and meditation retreats for adults in a rural setting, offering transformative experiences that foster physical strength, mental clarity, and a deeper connection to nature.
At Flourish Kids Yoga & Fitness, our mission is to create a space where every child feels loved, safe, and free to express their true selves. Our goal isn’t just to teach yoga, it’s to guide children in connecting with their hearts, their emotions, and themselves.
​
All yoga mats, props, and resources are provided, allowing children to explore movement and mindfulness in a fun, supportive enviroment. We are fully insured and come directly to your center or school, making it easy to bring the benefits of yoga and mindfulness to you.
I am excited as I make a difference by spreading love and kindness in a way nothing else can, through the power of yoga, meditation and exercise. With our fun and engaging programs.
