THE POWER OF YOGA

WE BELIEVE
IN THE POWER OF MOVEMENT & MEDITATION
TO GROW THE WELLBEING OF CHILDREN & TEENS.
The power of yoga & meditation is undeniable. Every day, science confirms the benefits of these practices to make our lives better. And that goes for children, too.
That's why we have developed a comprehensive curriculum that will enable you to share these practices with children ages 2 through 18, with keen attention to the balance of fun and safety, as well as social justice and equity.
Our trainings are modular and can be taken ala carte or as a full journey that will earn you the 95-hour Yoga Alliance-accredited Kids Yoga Training with a focus in Kids Yoga or Family AcroYoga.
Our trainings are perfect for yoga teachers, educators, and counselors, and are appropriate for anyone who wants to explore yoga with their children.

You might be thinking to yourself- "I don't want to do yoga with babies" (or "I can't wait to do yoga with babies!") but here's the good news: If we know the entirety of childhood development, we know how to address with sensitivity of all children.

TWEENS AND TEENS
This module will enable you to meet tweens and teens where they are in this moment and offer tools for calming, self-regulation and social-emotional support. As we know, tweens and teens- though they might frequent yoga studios with their parents, are in some ways adults, and some ways, not. That's why we've created a focused module to support the adults who want to suppot this transitional age group.
