Teach Yoga. Empower Kids. Make a Difference.
Teaching kids yoga isn’t just about tiny tree poses and breathing games (though there’s plenty of that!). It’s about helping kids feel strong, calm, confident, and connected in their bodies and in the world around them.
This comprehensive training gives you the skills, structure, and support to teach yoga to kids in schools, studios, community spaces, and beyond.
You’ll learn how to create engaging, age appropriate lesson plans with plenty of movement, mindfulness, games, stories, and creativity. You’ll also walk away with classroom management tools, behavior strategies, and the confidence to lead joyful, impactful classes that truly meet kids where they are.
No guesswork. No overwhelm. Just a clear path to start teaching with confidence.
