Children's Yoga Tree offers a 50 Hour Advanced Teacher Training to intensify learning and skills in teaching yoga to children. The course is an interactive online training for qualified Children’s Yoga Teachers and takes a deep dive into four specialist issues - Mindfulness, Special Needs, Philosophy and Teens.
The course is structured so students can access video content and Tool Kits online in their own time. Students are supported by an individual tutor throughout the training, providing feedback on written assignments and video assessments. The course also includes a live 1 hour session with your individual tutor - Siobhan or Emma to discuss challenges and goals. This advanced yoga journey is designed to expand your tool-kit, problem solve challenges and give depth and confidence to your yoga teaching career.
