FOUNDATIONS
Children’s Yoga Teacher Training is facilitated in a practical, interactive, educational, creative, fun, inspiring and dynamic format. It is an invitation to immerse yourself in the world of children’s yoga for ages 5-8. You will have the opportunity to re-connect with your inner child through dance, play, creativity, laughter, song, remembering just how great joy feels!
A system of comprehensive modules are taught that explore the major areas of yogic tools and practices that are both fun, creative, relevant and age appropriate. All modules are facilitated with a balance of direct practice, theory and discussions aimed to meet the unique needs of each individual attendee. I value your ability to learn in a supportive environment that enables skills and experience to become grounded knowledge. My intention is to enable YOU to be practically equipped, inspired, joyful and confident. To feel ready to share creative classes that captivate, engage and inspire this wonderful age group.

"Karen's teacher training is the best kids yoga course I have ever attended so far (I've attended 4 in total), it was very well organised and comprehensive. The material in the course is practical and my kids really enjoyed Karen's fun and creative approach. Weighty concepts such as meditation and mindfulness, or usually boring stretches are made easily accessible for kids and for us teachers to teach. Most of all, I was very inspired by Karen's passion and enthusiasm for kids and teaching. Karen's course made me feel excited and confident to teach my classes, which was a great kick start for me as a new teacher." Thank you, Karen

“Karen's teacher training was an absolute pleasure to be on, her vibrant, bubbly personality shone through the entire training, which made the weekend so much fun and the content of the course unbelievable easy to dive into. Karen has such a wonderful wealth of knowledge that only comes from years of experience and an absolute passion for what she does. The course content was well thought-out and covered every aspect possible from class management, meditation techniques, teaching practicals, chanting, children's philosophy and a wonderful resource manual. I feel completely equipped with the knowledge and tools needed to be a successful children's yoga teacher. Thanks so much Karen! “
