Shape young lives for the better, as well as positively impacting your own.
Children’s Yoga Teacher Training. With Class Yoga.
A 5 week online course, starting April 17th 2021
Just imagine the lifelong effect you could have…
...when you teach children to love and appreciate themselves
... when you teach children to enjoy moving their body without comparison
...when you teach children ways of breathing and relaxing, so that they can feel calm whenever they choose...
All through teaching them yoga and mindfulness! The impact can be immense and help shape young lives for the better, as well as positively impact your own. So let’s make it happen!
It makes me feel on top of the world!
I felt free
I know how to calm down now
This is what I hear and what you could be hearing from children at the end of your yoga classes - very soon!
Course Experience
This online training includes the exact same content as our 5 day in-person training - allowing you to gain the same certification, from the same incredible course - without having to travel and find accommodation!
Led over 5 weeks, each week of the Class Yoga Online Training you are given access to a new online module of pre-recorded videos, tasks and an assessment. You are expected to complete the module at your own pace (up to 4 hours), within that given week, before the weekend live training session.
Each week you will need to attend two live online training sessions, held via Zoom: 1 hour mid-week and 3 hours at the weekend, throughout the course. There is a choice of two times for each session. You must attend at least one of each session, and complete the week’s study by the weekend.
In this way, you can fit the training around 'normal life' and still be held accountable for making time and completing the course within the time frame!
Summary: up to 4 hours pre-recorded content, plus assessment and 4 hours live online training to complete/ attend, each week for 5 weeks.
Upcoming Course Dates
These are the dates and times of the live training sessions that you must attend, in addition to completing the online modules each week. There are two time options for all live sessions, you only need to attend one time each day. Please note all times & dates listed are UK times & dates.

Kid’s Yoga Teacher Training
What makes our training different… at Class Yoga we raise the bar in teaching yoga to children. We don’t shy away from what yoga truly is, by covering it up with stories and characters, or with an overload of songs and games.
We know firsthand that yoga doesn’t need to be fluffed up for children, and that they benefit more from a real yoga experience.
We’ll teach you how you can teach authentic yoga to children, that’s engaging and appropriate for them in that moment - and has them continually wanting more!
The Class Yoga CYTT is designed and taught by Helen Clare, and is a comprehensive, 60 hour Yoga Alliance Professionals accredited, specialist training course - now taught as a 5 week online course.
It’s a culmination of Helen’s 11 plus years of experience in teaching yoga to young old_people and adults, and provides you with the knowledge, skills, practice and confidence to teach appropriate, effective, safe, fun and engaging yoga and mindfulness to children ages 4 to 12.
By the end of our kid’s yoga teacher training course, you will :
Feel more than confident to teach a group children's yoga class
Know how to plan, effectively structure and intuitively modify a class, appropriate to the kids
Have a wealth of knowledge and a vast toolkit to draw upon, setting you up for being an excellent kids yoga teacher
Kid’s Yoga Teacher Training Course Prerequisites :
We just require that you have at least one year’s personal yoga experience before taking this training course. We must first work on ourselves, before we can hope to help others!
Curriculum:
Anatomy: learn the essential developments of children and how this impacts what we teach safely
Asana: study age appropriate poses and modifications so we can teach intentionally
Mindfulness: what it really is, why we need to live mindfully and how we can share it
Brain development: why this is important and how yoga / mindfulness promotes a healthy brain (so important, all teachers/ parents should learn this!)
Relaxation: learn to lead guided relaxation that makes a real difference
Pranayama: the benefits, what to teach and what not to
Philosophy: we go over the essence of yogic philosophy and how to subtly convey it to kids to instil kindness, compassion and self-worth
Sound: why sound is important and a variety of ways to use it
The Class Yoga Method: get so confident to teach you can’t wait to start!
Behaviour management: we’ll prepare you with effective strategies for a range of scenarios
Class organisation: how exactly to go about teaching in and out of schools
Marketing: how to share what you do to impact more young lives!
Meet Your Teacher Trainer, Helen Clare:
Hi, I’m Helen! I’ve been practising yoga since I was 15 and teaching yoga to old_people aged 2 to 72, for over 11 years now! In the same year that I completed my first yoga Teacher Training course, I also started my Primary PGCE. So, naturally, as soon as I was in the classroom I started sharing yoga with my kids!
Over the first two years of my full time teaching career I was able to see what worked and what didn’t, in terms of offering the most benefit to the children. I then began teaching yoga all over my home county of Cornwall, sharing my method (and the method I can teach you!). I founded Class Yoga in 2016 to train more teachers and reach more children across the UK, and now online globally!
If this course is right for you, I can’t wait to welcome you in… You'll learn the proven teaching technique that I’ve developed over my career, an abundance of practical skills and the knowledge and theory behind what we do, to build upon a passion and motivation that will drive you to share the benefits of yoga with kids and young old_people!
