A long-time mental health advocate, Osaka isn’t just exploring new places around Japan during her time off from tennis. Earlier this week, she announced that she had teamed up with the WTA’s official partner Modern Health to create a new guided meditation series for kids.
“I’m excited for my child and all children to have access to meditations to help them build healthy habits early. I’m glad that I’m able to help make something like this accessible to kids all over,” she wrote in an Instagram post previewing the free meditation series.
The series currently has three installments: one for children 5-7 years old titled Imagine Your Big Feelings, one for 8-11 year-olds named Talk to Yourself Like a Friend, and one for kids 9 and up called Ground Yourself in The Moment.

“As I’ve gotten older, I have really relied more on meditation to help manage my feelings. I wish that I had utilized it more as a kid which is why I’m so excited to have children’s meditations available now kids of all ages,” she told PEOPLE in March.
“I love that I am able to help create resources for kids that weren’t available or common when I was a kid,” she continued when speaking to PEOPLE. “I hope that kids are able to learn how to manage their feelings and emotions at an early age so that they can continue to use these tools later in life.”
She also shared that the two things she’s most looking forward to this year are the birth of her child and getting back on the court.
We wish Naomi and her growing family all the best!
