How to Elevate Children as a Kids Yoga Teacher

On April 11, 2012 / Kids Yoga, Lesson Plans

One of my favorite pieces of spiritual advice came from Yogi Bhajan who said, “Be the forklift.” These three words can help solve some of the challenges of teaching kids yoga. Here is an example of a children’s yoga class plan that puts this advice to good use.

I Started a Yoga Club at my School!

“Just wanted to share the good news. I started a 6 week after school yoga club at my school! It’s in the gym: me with 15 students and they are loving it.

I’ve had such positive feedback. Parents are reporting that there is need for this club to continue and other students to be involved too. I am loving teaching yoga to youngsters.

Thanks for the wonderful course – it is definitely being put to good use.”

Now Yoga is a Part of My Curriculum

“Dear Aruna,

My yoga with my children is going just super. THANK YOU Aruna for giving me the tools to teach yoga.

At present yoga is a part of my curriculum in the afternoons from 2:30 to 3:15. Time goes by so fast, and children look forward to it from the time they come to school asking, “When will we go down for yoga?”

Take care and thanks again.”

I Now Teach 3 Weekly Children’s Classes

You so graciously passed on a wealth of knowledge about kids’ yoga. I’ve used your comprehensive teaching manuals and references so many times, I’ve barely gleamed the surface.

Since the Summer Program I’ve been able to complete my goals, which you encouraged us to write down in the training, including becoming a RCYT, logging teaching hours on Yoga Alliance, building a website, and more importantly, building my community presence. I now teach 3 weekly children’s classes in a local school and we’re adding a fourth class in the fall. Many of my students have attention issues. I feel like a proud mom when they say “Miss Karen, I was feeling scared but then I did my yoga breathing and felt better”. To me, that’s everything.

The training was a great investment that I’ve earned back several times in the last year. It has been an absolute honor to pay this gift I received forward. Thank you again!”
