Participants will learn the art of bringing story into their teaching, as well as additional tools for working with kids.

The Kids Yoga certification workshop provides an in-depth break down of 10 kid-focused yoga poses with multiple adaptations for each. Participants will learn the foundation, alignment, safety, and benefits of said poses, along with how to create and instruct a kids yoga adventure. An emphasis on breathing better and stress-management techniques is highlighted, equipping teachers and kids to recognize and manage emotions and improve social interactions with peers.

This yoga specialty certification will provide a sample yoga class for participants to experience yoga through story, as well as ample time for practice teaching under the supervision of an experienced yoga teacher. Upon completion of the one-day Kids Yoga workshop, participants are equipped to create and lead a yoga practice for kids.
