Kids & Teen Teacher Training
Kids 3 - 8 Years
The Foundation Years (3-8yrs) covers you to teach children aged 3-8yrs. The syllabus is split in two 3-5yrs & 5-8yrs as there is quite a developmental difference in these two age groups. The techniques will and do keep your students engaged throughout this age range. Many children start their yoga journey in the early years and continue until they leave school!
Kids 8 - 12 Years
The 8-12yr age group is one of the most difficult age groups to teach! Techniques used for the younger age group are no longer appropriate and won’t hold the interest of this age group – this is why we separate the training courses! Our course provides everything that is required for this age group - mental stimulation, physical development and FUN!
Teen - Mind and Body
Teenagers more than anyone need to release the everyday stresses and pressures of their lives. Their bodies are changing at an accelerated pace, hormones are suddenly active and emotions are rampant and uncontrollable. Throw into the mix that fact that their brains are rewiring and their preoccupation is with body image and fitting in! Our 60 hour course covers everything!
“Yoga can help them create and develop a nurturing internal voice to encourage each individual to be all they can be, while accepting what they are not, however it needs to be delivered in a manner that they can relate to and motivates them!”
