This inspiring and practical teacher training taught by Family Yoga Teachers Siobhan Power and Emma Charvet, is run online over four weeks with live sessions tailored to your needs. You will be supported throughout the course by a mentor with individual feedback on assignments and two interactive live-streamed discussion sessions.
The course covers understanding family dynamics, managing energy for different age groups, creative planning and games, partner poses, family acrobatics and encouraging bonding during calm and relaxation. It will deepen your knowledge of teaching yoga to adults and children and provide a practical Toolkit for setting up and delivering inspiring, creative classes that nurture the bonds between children and their carers. We teach students to find their unique teaching voice to become confident, passionate teachers.
The focus of our Family Yoga Teacher Training is on learning to teach creatively and mindfully so your classes are tailored to the ages and needs of your families. Each online learning day involves learning through dynamic yoga practice. You will need a yoga mat and a partner, friend or child to practice the pre-recorded family yoga classes in your own time. These involve fun partner, acrobatic and relaxation activities. The scheduled live discussions do not require a partner.
