Our Story

Petunia Westcott the Third played alongside and amongst animals in India as a child. She had to stay present for the animals to accept her, if she didn’t they sensed it and would retreat. She says it was the animals that taught her the power of self connection; to compassionately accept herself and play to her unique strengths. She was able to closely study animal movements and interactions and remains fascinated, to this day, by how much animals can teach humans. 

We want to share what the animals taught Petunia, with children everywhere so they too can practice yoga inspired philosophy of moving into stillness, maintaining self connection, growing compassion and self love and thereby improving their wellbeing and interactions. Living a mindful life with physical activity, nourishing food and healthy relationships results in a sense of wellbeing and self confidence at any age.

Our contribution is a range of fun resources that increase awareness, create habits, and build positive life skills for children, parents, and caregivers alike to enjoy regularly, and especially in those moments of ‘arrrghh’!
