Welcome to Miss Trish’s blog — a cozy corner where I share behind-the-scenes perks at Bobbleberry Hollow, teaching ideas, and reflections on yoga, sound, and storytelling with little ones.
The making of the Magical World of Bobbleberry Hollow happened during the summer and early fall of 2025.
Miss Trish and her daughter, Raven, started a water-colour painting adventure, and the idea of creating fun whimsical characters came to mind.
Miss Trish started by thinking that these characters would make a fun addition to her yoga classes with preschoolers in the coming school year, before we knew it, a book was being created.
After years of teaching young children about the world of yoga and sound, always having requests for materials that could be used with the children day to day to expand on their learning, Miss Trish is overjoyed to have something magical to do just that!
Summer of 2025 will always be remembered as the summer of Creativity!
the third book in the series, Bobbleberry Hollow Spaces and Places will be live on Amazon on September 11, just in time for the beginning of yoga classes for the 2025/26 school year.
Where does Sound Healing fit into yoga with pre-school aged children?
When helping inspire young children to relax, when it’s not nap time or bed time, can be challenging. Offering the children music or stories ( guided meditations) and sound gives them something to focus their attention and ‘turn off their busy little minds’.
Children will learn that it’s safe to have quiet moments through their day, that they aren’t always expected to sleep, but they have the time and space to rest. This is a skill that they can carry with them through their life.
In the tumble and twirl of preschool life, it can be easy to overlook stillness, and for many children, stillness is associated with sleeping only.
In between the magical moments of preschool life, there is something waiting to be nurtured.
Mindfulness
Mindfulness isn’t about getting children to sit still for long stretches of time, it’s about helping them feel their bodies, notice their breath, and understand their emotions as they move.
This can be as simple as pausing in a circle to notice how string and grounded our feet feel on the ground.
These small moments build more than just balance, they build emotional resilience, body confidence and a deep sense of presence that helps young children feel safe, connected and calm.
This summer has come to an end and after spending many, many hours painting, laughing and crying tears of happiness watching The World of Bobbleberry Hollow come to life….it is time! Next week, over a hundred little ones will be introduced to this magical world created…just for them.
Today was a milestone, the very first Bobbleberry Hollow class in a preschool room!
🫧Sweet little three- and four-year-olds sat with me, listened, breathed, and discovered the magic of the Hollow for the very first time. 🍓We passed the berry bell, entered through the Bobbleberry Portal, and shared a gentle flow of yoga, sound, and story together.
🫐My Bobbleberry Bag of Wonders was packed full — chimes, blankets, and little friends ready to shine. And afterwards, I raised a little celebratory “cheers” of kombucha to mark the day.
✨ A dream that started in watercolor and words is now alive in children’s laughter, stillness, and sparkling eyes.
Here’s to Day One. Here’s to Bobbleberry Hollow. 🌈🍓
Bobbleberry Hollow has officially been released, introduced, and joyfully played with by nearly 140 preschool-aged children this week. It has been such a magical beginning to see the world of Bobbleberry Hollow come alive in the hearts and imaginations of so many little ones.
Together we stretched, moved, danced, shook, laughed, rested, and played. The week was filled with countless joyful moments and memories that I will carry with me always. Watching the children’s faces light up as they discovered the characters and affirmations has been a true gift.
I want to take a moment to deeply appreciate the educators who are with these children day by day. Every single one of these educators is an absolutely outstanding, beautiful human being who respects and cares for the children on the deepest level. It is such a joy and privilege to share this work alongside them.
And this is only the beginning! There is so much more to come for Bobbleberry Hollow throughout the year. We will return to the characters and their poses and emotions, revisit the affirmations, and slowly begin combining characters together to create new stories. We will explore the magical spaces and places of Bobbleberry Hollow—resting, listening to sound, healing our bodies, and celebrating joy, laughter, fun, connection, and friendship.
This first week in Bobbleberry Hollow has been everything I dreamed of and more. I can’t wait to see what unfolds next.
