Are you passionate about teaching yoga to children, but not sure where to begin? Or perhaps you have tried teaching kids yoga before, but left the class feeling depleted? This online course, Teaching Yoga to Children, is for yoga teachers who are dedicated to learning how to teach yoga to children in a fun, engaging and authentic way (without feeling like a kids entertainer). It is for teachers who are ready to learn how to share the powerful benefits of yoga with children to help enhance their health and wellbeing.
This course explores the fundamental principles for teaching yoga to children and examines the learning expectations for different age groups so you can set the right pitch, pace and tone for your class. It offers a step-by-step guide for planning your kids yoga classes and provides strategies for establishing a calm, safe and inspiring learning environment. You will learn a range of techniques for teaching ‘creative’ asana, mindfulness and pranayama to the different age groups. You will gain an understanding of how complex yoga philosophy can be taught to children through ‘circle time’, class themes, questioning and yoga-inspired games. We will conclude the course by exploring the range of practical logistics to be considered before teaching kids yoga.
