It has always been our intention to develop KIDS & TEEN Yoga Instructors to the highest quality. We believed, only, in IN-PERSON training! Then, the pandemic hit and we had an obligation to fulfill our training commitments, to our enrolled students. Prior to this students turned up, having completed an application process and done a little homework, bit having no knowledge of the Little Greene Yoga method. 

We now give access to our ONLINE recorded prior to the LIVE weekend. We find students are more prepared to take part in the LIVE weekend, which is all about teaching experience and finding your own teaching voice.
