Children’s Yoga Teacher Training

Yoga as an after-school club activity in schools is increasingly attracting interest within school staff and parents alike. Through Yoga, children are given an opportunity to express themselves in a physical and fun but precise and gentle way as well as practise mind-body techniques to tune in to their emotions. It is also a unique non-competitive physical activity that all children can equally take part in.

You will be embarking on a 4-day Teacher Training Course (2 x 1.5 Day over 2 consecutive weekends) with the aims to be fully qualified to teach Children Yoga in Schools within weeks of completing your Teacher Training course. You will be given the opportunity to practice your teaching skills in the training room and at home (coursework) as well as observe real classes in the studio or in a local school. We encourage you to start teaching as soon as your training course is completed.

Course Details

Children’s Yoga Teacher Training Objectives

This course will give you a full understanding of how to successfully structure a 45 mins Yoga class to children of 4-11 years old.

Each section of the lesson plans will be reviewed and practised in the training room so that you understand how to best make use of them in your own style.

You will learn about children development stages and learning skills, schools expectations and how to build lesson plans, sequence Yoga poses in a fun and beneficial way and teach relaxation and breathing techniques.

What’s more, you will be observing Yoga lessons taught in a real class environment by your course leader. You will be fully confident to deliver tried and tested lesson plans by the time you are certified.

  1. Amanda Di clemente

    Namaste!
    I researched my training course very carefully and I am so glad that I chose this course. It was everything I needed and more. A wonderful positive experience from start to finish.
    Lovely venue, world class teacher and delightful fellow students. All in all highly recommended!
    Our teacher Laurence Turner is quite simply wonderful – warm, wise and witty!
    I have secured my first teaching job within a week of qualifying, so If you are thinking of training I would say just ‘Go for it!’.
    With this qualification it was easy to get specialist yoga teacher insurance through yoga alliance professionals. I couldn’t have asked for anything more. Thank you so much Yogamoo x

  2. Jeanne

    What a fantastic journey I have had along that 2 weekends of training! The class is well structured, very clear, with lots of wonderful ideas on how to get the children involved and make them happy to practice Yoga.

    A good mix of practical, technical and human aspects. I came out of this training confident on my future yoga teaching life.

    Laurence is a very supportive teacher and she has very good human qualities. She is really passionate and we can see it by the way she is passing on her talent and skills.
    I truly recommend Laurence’s Children’s Yoga Teaching Training Course.

  3. Natalie Jordan

    Laurence is an exceptionally good and patient teacher, her experience in all aspects of childrens yoga, the growth mindset, PSHE curriculum to name a few for which is embedded in your practice is superb. I have thoroughly enjoyed my training which has built up my confidence in my own ability beyond anything I could have imagined. It is hard to put in a few words here just how detailed the learning and growth of your own self, truly recognising the willing abilities of those much younger than you can be. I came with no teaching experience but feel as though I have a new pair of wings. Thank you L.

  4. Claire

    I really enjoyed this course .Laurence is a great teacher and is eager for you to become great children’s yoga teachers . Laurence was very supportive answering all questions and giving advice . Post course she is also very approachable for advice . The course offers you all you need to be able to plan and deliver fun yoga classes to children .

  5. Katrina

    I really enjoyed the children’s yoga Teacher Training course. Laurence’s passion for yoga is clear and she did a great job of teaching our class all of the elements of children’s yoga, including topics such as discipline and practical tips on engaging younger children. The course weaves in the philosophy of yoga and how it can be communicated to children in a way they can understand. It was great to see how by the end of the second weekend all of us on the course knew how to structure and deliver an engaging class. The weekends are intense and packed full of info and practical learning. This worked well for me and I was really pleased that once I had focused on my written coursework I was qualified and could start teaching the classes locally straight away.
    I would definitely recommend this teacher training to anyone passionate to bringing yoga to schools and in private classes – you leave feeling enthusiastic and confident about what you can offer.

  6. marianne frith

    I really enjoyed this course. Working within a supportive group setting with lots of practical work as well as theory, really prepared for teaching straight away.
    Laurence guided us through the many areas of teaching yoga to children. All of the elements to teaching yoga to children were covered and supported with the tools needed to deliver this in a class setting. Seeing how this was then put in to practice with a real class to observe within the course was super helpful too.

  7. Jess

    Great course. Covers the many aspects of teaching yoga to children – poses, breath work, games, stories, growth mindset, lessons themes, planning etc. Feel equipped to teach after just 4 days. Good to practice too during the course! Would definitely recommend.

  8. Lauren

    Thank you Laurence (And your community of young yogis) for your time, expertise and support during this training which was creative and insightful. You made the process exploratory and fun and were so open to sharing knowledge. I thoroughly enjoyed the course.
