Zen Movement for Zen Kids

ZEN MOVEMENT was set up by Edel Cummins after having worked in the industry for over a decade.

Edel qualified to be a yoga teacher in 2018 and has worked as a mobility coach and a personal trainer in various gyms since 2010.

With Covid-19 bringing everything to a halt and prompted by the closure of gyms during lockdown, the Kiltipper woman decided to start her own business – Zen Movement.

Along with adult yoga classes, Zen Movement also provides special yoga classes for kids aged 3-6 which combines fundamental movement skills such as balance and strength with elements of kid’s yoga to promote focus, concentration, mindfulness and relaxation.

The mother-of-two said that she was inspired to start the business after playing around with the idea with her own kids during lockdown.

“The class that I do for kids is not just yoga – it helps the kids with co-ordination, balance and practicing breathing techniques,” Edel tells The Echo.

With training in Holistic Massage and Indian Head Massage and experience working as a Spa Therapist on a cruise ship, in addition to yoga, Pilates and mobility classes, Zen Movement offers a range of holistic therapy treatments which are designed to improve overall wellbeing and movement in everyday life such as cupping therapy, deep tissue massage, Indian head massage and instrument assisted soft tissue mobilisation (IASTM).
