With Rainey Oliver

This training will provide the tools to leave you prepared to teach a mindful and play-based yoga class or short lessons to children ages 0 - 13, be it in a school, institution or home setting. Each kids yoga teacher will learn proven and tested skills to teach fun, play-based kids yoga and meditation classes that kids want to come back to again and again. You will be equipped with the knowledge and tools to consciously guide children while imparting these valuable skills to younger generations.

We welcome any current yoga teachers, school teachers, nannies, social workers, parents and people who otherwise love spending time with children to walk this path of connecting and helping children through yoga and mindfulness.

Especially helpful, this training will provide a curriculum and format for teaching a full one-hour class, while also providing helpful tools for those wanting to teach only 5, 10 or 30 minutes of kids yoga or meditation in classrooms, one-on-one sessions or at home. 

The class will be 15 hours of contact time and 5 hours of observations and personal study. This can be used for Yoga Alliance continuing education credits. A certificate will be provided to all teachers who complete the 20 hours.
