The documentation provided for the kids certificate was very helpful. The information provided great techniques for capturing kids interest and keeping it! I loved the fact that i could complete the training at my own pace. I would recommend this training to other yoga teachers.

What do past graduates say about the program?

The Kids Yoga Teacher Certification Program is one that is very thoughtfully planned out to ensure those going through the certification gain not only the basics of the human body but also information that helps support the yoga teacher specifically for children. I really enjoyed having recommendations for each age along with proper teaching techniques for a wide variety of postures. Thanks Nancy!

What do past graduates say about the program?

After looking into several kids yoga teachers’ training programs, I chose to enroll with Yoga Education Institute. It has far far exceeded my expectations. This program is very systematic, informative and it equipped me with all the anatomical and physiological knowledge that I needed . It taught me how to make yoga teaching creative, lively and interactive so that kids can enjoy it. This training has proven to be an invaluable resource and I cannot wait to share this knowledge with kids.
