About this Training
The seeds we plant in our bodies and minds at an early age create the potential for a happy, healthy and joyful life. In our busy world we are experiencing children as young as preschool age being impacted by the effects of stress. Evidence-based research shows us the value and health benefits of sharing the tools of yoga and mindfulness to support this precious age.
‘Gentle beginnings, foundations & family’, is an invitation to reconnect to your inner-child by immersing yourself in the world of children’s yoga and mindfulness. Learn to nurture, nourish, connect and inspire both children and their families. Explore mindful movement, dance, simple breath awareness, creativity, mindfulness activities, games, laughter and song whilst connecting to JOY.
Crafted from a balance of theory and practice the training is facilitated in an interactive, educational, fun and dynamic format. You will learn current and age-appropriate tools that both children and their families will grow to love and benefit from.
Family yoga and special events have gained increasing popularity as stress levels rise and family time lessens. A unique opportunity that brings all ages together to bond by sharing movement, connection, laughter and play whilst creating special memories.
It is my wish for YOU to feel confident in your skills, well equipped and inspired as you embark on your amazing journey of teaching our ‘youngest yogis’.

prerequisite
This course is suitable for yoga practitioners, yoga TT students, school teachers, parents, therapists and professionals who work with elementary school-aged children. It is recommended that you have at least one year of personal yoga practise to have a basic understanding of the foundational poses and the experience of yoga in your own body.
This course blew my mind. It far exceeded my expectations. This course not only equips us with the knowledge and skillsets to be a children's yoga teacher, but was very healing and transformative to me personally. The power of positivity and a job well done. Full credit to you Karen.
