Family Yoga Teacher Training

Children's Yoga Tree 25 hour Family Yoga Teacher Training gives qualified yoga teachers the opportunity to share the gift of yoga with children and their parents and carers. The course is a practical and intensive programme focusing on teaching students to develop trust, creativity and playfulness in families with children aged 3-12 yrs.

Online Learning
This unique online course is designed to enable you to learn in your own time over a month via a structured online learning platform. You will take part in 2 live sessions with your tutors on creativity and acrobatics and will be supported throughout the course by an individual tutor who provides feedback on progress and assignments.

Course Content
The course is delivered online via our structured Teachable platform with five modules on Play, Connection, Trust, Calm and Planning, all available via videos for you to work through at home. The Family Yoga Training Manual includes a fully illustrated Toolkit with over 50 photos of Family Yoga poses as well as class plans, games and much more.

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. 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.
