Foundations for Life

TWYST YOGA for KIDS

Welcome to Twyst Yoga for Kids

I’m Isla O’Hara, the founder of Twyst Yoga for Kids and The Nurture Space by Twyst. As a mother of three, I understand the challenges children face growing up in today’s busy, high-pressure world.

At the heart of Twyst Yoga for Kids is a simple purpose: to create a safe, nurturing space where children feel valued, supported, and free to be themselves. Through yoga, we help children calm busy minds, build body awareness, and reconnect with themselves in a positive and empowering way.

Our programs support children aged 4–18, blending movement, mindfulness, and fun. Classes are delivered through after-school programs, school wellbeing initiatives, sports development sessions, and sporting excellence teams. Every experience is thoughtfully designed to support physical health, emotional growth, focus, and resilience.

Inclusivity is central to everything we do. Twyst Yoga for Kids supports children of all abilities and backgrounds, offering accessible sessions that help build confidence, emotional awareness, and self-regulation.

Isla holds a Bachelor of Arts (Psychology) and is a certified Yoga Therapist and Children’s Yoga Instructor, with extensive experience supporting neurodivergent children and young people. She brings a calm, compassionate, and practical approach to her work, creating spaces where children feel safe, supported, and empowered to build skills that support them for life.

We believe every child has the potential to flourish. Our mission is to equip children with essential life skills — laying strong foundations for lifelong wellbeing.

Looking for Individual Therapeutic Support?

For families seeking more individualised, therapeutic wellbeing support, Isla also offers one-to-one sessions through:

The Nurture Space by Twyst.

The Nurture Space provides calm, supportive sessions for children and adolescents who may be experiencing anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, neurodivergence, sensory sensitivities, or overwhelm. These sessions focus on building emotional regulation, body awareness, confidence, and coping skills in a gentle, nurturing environment.
