Intensive Children's Yoga Training

This training will equip you to enrich your work with children using yoga games that promote movement and concentration, as well as relaxation techniques tailored to children. In addition, you will learn how to design and lead complete children’s yoga sessions based on specific themes. You will also receive numerous practical tips for working with groups of children, as well as with particularly active or shy children.

You’ll receive a valuable toolkit of methods and practical know-how that you can use to foster calmness, balance, flexibility, mindfulness, and a sense of community in children. We’ll practice many child-friendly yoga poses and playful yoga flows so often that by the end of the training, you’ll feel confident enough to lead them on your own.

Upon completing the training, you will have gained a treasure trove of practical resources, filled with numerous children’s yoga games and exercises, yoga sequences, sayings, rhymes, and songs—all the way up to complete sample sessions.
