about

Kin Things blends ancient philosophies of Yoga and Mindfulness with modern well-being to foster joyful, playful and restful ways of feeling more connected.

These practices are for everybody and all bodies. The beginner and expert, the stiff and bendy back, the solo flower and the community builder, those seeking rest and those seeking fire. There are no prerequisites to our sessions, other than to have a body and an openness for play and exploration.

Kin Things grew as a response to a growing mental health and climate crisis. To nurture our inner resources and navigate life’s landscapes with joy, ease and playfulness. These things can bring a lot of hope in the face of challenges - be they big, small, emotional, ecological, individual or collective.

In our grounded and accessible approach, we encourage movement as a means to unwind, release and raise our awareness.

Come along to move, play and explore. Express yourself through your body. Ground yourself and find your unique rhythm.

our story

Shóna Slemon Founder

Meet Shóna, a nature-loving soul from rural Ireland who founded Kin Things to explore how movement and intention can support a global mental health and climate crisis.

Rural Irish storytelling traditions and language shaped Shóna’s nature-connection from a young age. This plus influences from global Indigenous and rural wisdom, ecological theory and Mindfulness practices were the seeds Kin Things grew from.

Inspired by the practices of Somatics and Embodiment, we approach movement as a pathway to promote personal, community and climate joy.

Our mission is to find more things to be joyful about in frequently challenging times - and to start with ourselves and most simply, our bodies.

Kin Things embraces self-care as an act of collective care. By taking care of yourself, you show up with more care for the rest of your life. Time spent with our inner worlds, reflects with impact on our outer worlds - and that’s time well spent in our opinion.

kind Words from our kin

  • "I needed a safe place to breathe, to reconnect with myself and with others, and that's what the moon ceremony provided! Thanks in particular to Kin Things' gentle kindness, freedom and positive energy! Thank you for this wonderful moment, one of the best of my life"

    Embodiment Ceremony. Chateau Perche

  • "From the moment you enter the circle, Shona really sees you for who you are and connects with you as an equal. She radiates with comfort and care whilst guiding you through the mindful movement practice.

    As we were lying down for the guided meditation at the end, she created a safe space to be physically adjusted in the most loving way.

    Her presence could be sensed through my closed eyelids and as she came up to introduce her touch, it felt like an old friend re-entered my life.”

    Kirti - Chateau Perche 2023

  • "It was like time stood still"

    Embodiment Ceremony. Chateau Perche

  • "The yoga session - Where Shòna encouraged us to do whatever our body felt like doing. Never experienced this type of session before and it was truly wonderful."

    JOYBODY 2023

  • "I didn't think I would feel so comfortable to move so freely, but the space was so safe with Shona, I felt transformed"

    Embodiment Ceremony. Chateau Perche

  • "Shona makes yoga approachable for all, regardless of whether you are doing your first class or are an expert yogi! I love the social aspect of the class, and have felt myself improve since my first class with her. I love starting my day with her class, it sets me up for a great day."

    Kin Things Park Yogi

  • "Exceeded my expectations! I didn’t expect so much guidance and I found it really helpful because I don’t have huge experience in yoga. The setting was so calming and it was so nice to meet such beautiful people. It was just the best start to the day."

    Kin Things Park Yogi

  • "Shona makes yoga feel approachable and helps you understand what your body is craving without feeling overwhelmed or scared to try new things"

    Kin Things Park Yogi

  • "Wonderful experience. Very gentle energy, brought fluidity to our body and our mind thanks to very slow movements. She allowed me to connect to our mother earth and surrender with trust"
