Anneleen Meurs is at Tiny Talks!

In our second edition of Tiny Talks, we welcome Anneleen Meurs.

A yogi and dance teacher with quite possibly the most beautiful “office” imaginable.

Anneleen inspires us with her story of how a mindful life shapes the mindful choices she makes for herself and her family.

Join us as we step into her world together with her adorable daughter, Vivi Lou. ✨

1. What does a “good day” look like for you these days, as a mother of a toddler and a yoga practitioner?

A good day is really about the small moments. In the morning, when we wake up, we usually do a few yoga movements or simple exercises together to activate our bodies. My daughter is already completely used to this little ritual.

I also try to make very conscious time for each other, like coloring together in the morning or playing after school. And in the evening we love to wind down with a cozy book before bedtime.

Motherhood has taught me that a “perfect” day doesn’t exist, but a day filled with connection, movement and these little rituals feels pretty perfect to me.

2. How has your yoga practice influenced your consumption habits?

Yoga really taught me to live more consciously and simply. It made me more aware of what I bring into my home, onto my body and into my life.

Becoming a mother deepened that awareness even more. When you care for a little human, you naturally start asking: What is truly safe, healthy and meaningful?

That’s why I find it so important to choose quality toys that are durable and safe. Toys without hormone-disrupting substances and that truly support my daughter’s development.

And that’s exactly what I love discovering on this webshop, beautiful, thoughtful and sustainable products. I’m a big fan.

3. Can you share your 3 Tiny Tips for navigating modern parenthood? 1. Slow down whenever you can. Children mirror us so much. When we slow down and take a breath, they feel that too. Sometimes that simply means sitting down together to play, draw or craft instead of rushing through the day. 2. Encourage authentic and creative play. Reusing materials, playing outside, discovering nature or crafting outdoors can be incredibly fun. As soon as the sun appears, you’ll find us outside exploring and playing. 3. Take care of yourself too. A few deep breaths, a short stretch or a moment on the yoga mat can change everything. And if the day gets a little chaotic… a warm cup of tea and a yoga class always help.
