Praise for the Online Training
On the last day of the live-zoom training, participants in the training tell you about their experiences in this video:
Take the class. That’s what I would say for real. It’s been a great class. So I encourage you all to take the class. Research if you want, but take my advice, take the class. It’s a lot of fun, very interactive. Aruna is very heartfelt in the passion that she has for children’s yoga and very knowledgeable. She has over 20 years of experience and you can tell. She’s also very personable. And it’s amazing to come to class with other yoga students with different backgrounds. So I really appreciate it and I encourage you all to take the class.
Stacey, Graduate of Live Zoom Training, 2020
Nothing Held Back. I Got So Much!!!
I do a lot of online courses and webinars and I just wanted to say that your course is amazing. Sometimes people hog information, they give you a quarter of what they know and you have this feeling that there is something they didn’t tell you, because maybe it’s their business or whatever else. But I didn’t feel it with this course. I felt like I got so much and I was like, oh my gosh, oh my gosh, and the manuals! You shared everything with me and I appreciate it so much because I felt like you wanted me to succeed and shared everything that you know. And I just felt so grateful. Thank you.

“I had 25 people at my first family yoga class at my work, 10 families with kids aged from 3-10. We had lots of fun. I opened registration for the next class, and in just a few hours 6 families signed up. My Family Yoga Club is the first one of its kind in our region for newcomer families. Thank you so much for the training, I constantly go back to the training to get ideas for classes. The materials are invaluable to me and now I’m teaching family and kids yoga!”

Why Register with Young Yoga Masters?
5 Fundamentals of the Young Yoga Masters Training:
- Yoga is more than Pretending to be Animals: Playful animal poses are fun but if that is all you teach you will start to feel like you are putting on a show rather than sharing ancient wisdom. The Young Yoga Masters program incorporates powerful yoga philosophy in kid-friendly lesson plans. You will deepen your own understanding of yoga as you learn to explain it in a way a three-year-old can understand.
- Learn from a Variety of Trainers to Discover Your Voice as a Teacher: You train with more than one trainer in our 96 Hour program and you will always have opportunities for live, interactive training sessions so you get to learn from the other students. This way, you can see the different ways to teach yoga to children. We don’t want you to copy one teacher, we support you to become an authentic teacher, one who embraces their personal style and who encourages children to be authentic too.
- You need a Lot of Activities: You cannot teach kids the way you would teach an adult yoga class. Children are fickle yogis, who don’t have much of a filter. A few activities and games will get you through a class series, but if you teach 40 or 50 weeks a year, you need a lot of activities, or the kids will start complaining, or worse, not want to come to class. Our training has over 300 tested activities for yoga classes that keep kids engaged. This encourages kids to keep coming to yoga class so you get to keep teaching!
- Structure and Flexibility: Our recorded training is a combination of training with your trainers and viewing the a cohort completing the training. You won’t be looking at one person talking into a camera for hours. You’ll be listening in on real conversations and questions from the teacher training cohort. You’ll get what you need to go into classes prepared. Plus you’ll explore how flexibility and boundaries are created for safety and sanity in your classes. This is a winning combination of highly effective teachers.
- You need to Teach Kids to Become a Kids Yoga Teacher: Yoga Alliance requires that a graduate of a Kids Yoga Teacher Training has taught actual children. It makes sense! In the Young Yoga Masters training, you will meet the required four hours as lead teacher in kids yoga classes. This means you don’t just pretend to teach, you get actual experience. Plus, now you can learn how to teach online too. You will see how this Yoga Alliance requirement creates confident yoga and mindfulness teachers who have actually taught kids!
These fundamentals create a unique, outstanding training experience.
