Best Kids YTT Experience! Highly Recommend!!

This kids ytt experience was better than I could have imagined. The curriculum was well rounded, the live study groups a big PLUS and I love the community! I made a friend who was also in the kids yoga teacher training that ended up living a half hour away. We collaborate regularly on hosting kids yoga events now!

Bringing Yoga Into My Classroom Every Day

I came into this training thinking I would just learn a few kids yoga poses, but it ended up being so much more than that. The child development module completely changed how I understand behavior in kids. The way Steph teaches makes everything feel approachable and real. I now use yoga in my elementary classroom every single day, especially breathwork and short movement breaks. The kids love it, and I feel more confident holding that space.

Teaching Kids Feels Fun Now

The yoga games and partner poses section was honestly my favorite. It made teaching kids feel fun instead of intimidating. I've already started offering kids classes at my local studio, and I find myself going back to those lessons constantly. The program has such a warm, supportive feel to it. It never felt like I was just watching videos alone.

★★★★★

So Much More Depth Than I Expected

What stood out to me most was the depth of the content. The yoga anatomy for kids module and the philosophy for kids were incredibly well done. It wasn't watered down. In fact it was thoughtful and meaningful, but still accessible. You can tell this program was created by someone who actually teaches and understands both yoga and children.

I Use This in My Therapy Sessions

I'm a mental health therapist, and I took this training to bring more body-based work into my sessions with children. The breathwork for kids and the mantra and mudra pieces have been so powerful. I've already integrated simple practices into sessions, and I've seen kids respond in ways I didn't expect. This training gave me tools I can actually use.

I Finally Know How to Structure a Class

The kids yoga class planning module was exactly what I needed. I always had ideas but didn't know how to structure a full class. Now I feel like I can confidently plan and teach from beginning to end. I've started teaching in a community center, and it feels natural instead of overwhelming.

★★★★★

It Actually Feels Like a Community

I loved the sense of community in this program. The live kids yoga study groups made such a difference. It felt like we were all learning together instead of being isolated. Steph is so present and genuinely cares. You don't feel like just another student.

★★★★★

I Started Teaching Right Away

The business of kids yoga module was such a surprise. I didn't expect to get that much clarity around how to actually offer classes. Within a month of finishing, I was teaching after-school programs. That part alone made the training worth it.

★★★★★

Yoga Philosophy That Actually Makes Sense for Kids

I appreciated how this training doesn't treat kids like small adults. The way the philosophy is adapted for children is beautiful. It gave me language and approaches that actually make sense for them. I now teach kids yoga at a private school, and I feel aligned with what I'm offering.

Elena

★★★★★

The Virtual Studio Was a Huge Bonus

The virtual yoga studio membership was such a nice addition. I used it constantly during the training, and it helped me stay connected to my own practice while learning how to teach kids. It made everything feel more integrated instead of separate.

★★★★★

You Can Feel the Care in This Program

I've taken other trainings before, and this one felt different. There's a warmth to it that's hard to explain. You feel supported the whole way through. The kids yoga asana section was great, but what really stayed with me was how to adapt everything for different ages and needs.

A New Way to Connect With Kids

The mantra and mudra section for kids was something I had never seen taught this way before. It was simple, engaging, and actually usable. I've started incorporating it into my kids classes, and the children really connect with it.

★★★★★

My Kindergarten Classroom Has Changed Completely

I'm a kindergarten teacher, and this training has completely changed my classroom. I use short sequences, breathing exercises, and even little yoga games throughout the day. The kids are more focused, and transitions are smoother. I didn't expect such a big impact.

I Feel Confident Teaching Kids Now

This training helped me grow not just as a teacher, but as a person. There's so much thought behind every module, from anatomy to class planning to how to truly connect with kids. I now teach kids yoga at a local studio and feel confident doing it. I also stay connected through the community, which continues even after the training ends.

Why Children's Yoga Teacher Training?

Give Kids Lifelong Mindfulness Tools On and Off the Mat

There are hundreds of thousands of yoga teachers, but not nearly as many children's yoga teachers. Right now, there's a big demand for kids yoga teachers. Research has shown that mindfulness practices are helpful for children in improving focus, memory, self-esteem, academic performance, confidence and behavior. Yoga and mindfulness have also been proven to reduce anxiety and depression in children.

Teaching yoga to kids is a definite means of enhancing their overall sense of well-being, both mentally and physically. Childhood is the ideal time to teach mindfulness, kindness and joyful movement. This gives kids the foundation of healthy habits from which they can build and flourish throughout their lifetime. Now is the time to start teaching yoga to kids of all ages with so many avenues available for you to grow.
