Reviews from Graduates

I just wanted to say thanks to you and your team for making this happen, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience and making this happen!

It was waaaaaaaay better than I expected!

Yuliya

Graduate of Online Training, June 2020

“I’m a supply teacher and it’s given me that edge and separates me from the pack. As a result gym teachers call me to work for them. Teachers call me again because I’ve implemented games and it’s been very successful.”

– Sandra, Young Yoga Masters Graduate

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!
An Engaging Structure and Flexibility: Our recorded training is a combination of training with your trainers and viewing the live recorded training with other students in the recordings. 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’ll 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.

More Reviews from Graduates

I got your newsletter for years before I signed up for the training, worried that it would be too much time and too hard to handle financially. So when you started the installment plans it made it easy for me to say yes. Little did I know the training would be so energizing, I couldn’t wait for the training weekends, they were something I looked forward to so much! It was fun, there were a ton of tools I could use right away, and the people are wonderful, I am still in touch with them. I have developed into a pretty good kids yoga teacher too because the kids don’t want to leave my class.”

Graduates of the Young Yoga Masters 95 Hour Kids Yoga Certification share their reviews of the training

In this video you can see the bond that forms with others in the training. Here are some highlights:

“It exceeded my expectations in every way”
“really valued the practicum”
“exactly what I needed”
“Aruna is awesome”
“met my new tribe and made soul connections”

This short video is from the practicum that occurs in each Module where all participants get valuable experience teaching kids yoga.

Seeing you successfully graduate as a kids yoga teacher is our mission as a Yoga Alliance Registered Children’s Yoga School. We care about your success! This program is filled with activities, games, and tons of practical experience for you to teach yoga to children.

After taking one module with the Kids Camp practicum, I felt confident to approach daycares. With my background in marketing I was teaching children after only one training. By the end of the training, I have taught over 150 kids yoga classes. This training was a good investment. I have already earned back my investment in the course and more. I was searching for a more fulfilling career and Young Yoga Masters Training has given me that, but has also given me a bond with my own children that I wouldn’t trade for anything.
