Hi there, I'm Via, and I am so grateful you're here!
I'm excited to share with you the story behind Metta Play, a bilingual yoga and affirmation card set that I created to help empower kids.
As a mother of two, I've always dreamed of introducing my children to yoga and mindfulness, and teaching them the skills of emotional regulation.
Growing up Asian, mental health was not something that was commonly talked about, and I never had access to materials that represented me. So when I looked at the tools available in the market, I found that they didn't have "me" in them - my background, my culture, my language, or even my face.
That's when I decided to create a tool that would be inclusive and represent kids of all backgrounds. I wanted my kids, and yours, to have access to something that would help them become more aware, fierce, and compassionate.
So, Metta Play was born - a bilingual yoga and affirmation card set that encourages mindfulness and cultural awareness. The cards are sustainably made, with inclusive illustrations and two written languages. I'm proud to say that they are the perfect tool for empowering tiny humans to become the best versions of themselves.
I hope you'll join me on this journey towards a more inclusive and compassionate world, one where our children can thrive and become their best selves.
Thank you for helping me empower tiny humans to become more aware, fierce and compassionate.
