LKY teen yoga teacher training

Teens’ stress levels are now sky high with exams, high social expectations, low levels of fitness due to social media, poor diet, and being too self-conscious to exercise in public. Teen yoga classes are growing in popularity, helping deal with exam stress, balancing hormones, and helping with self-esteem issues, as well as improving their general fitness.

After seeing the hugely positive effects Yoga can have on teenagers, LKY Yoga Teacher Training began to hold Teen Yoga Teacher Training courses. These enable trainees to teach yoga to teenagers, helping them transition into more balanced and happier adults.

Prerequisites

The course is for anyone who has an interest in working with teenagers and has a passion for yoga. It is for yoga teachers wanting to specialise, and educators wanting to bring the benefits of yoga to their classrooms. It’s for anyone who works with teens: psychologists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, nurses, speech therapists…

It’s also great for parents to find new ways to connect with their teens and share a healthy, fun, and non-competitive movement-based activity with their family. It is for anyone who wants to expand a current related profession or learn a new one!

You do not need to be a yoga teacher to take the course, but you must have at least 500 hours/2 years of yoga practice.

The course comprises general topics, learning through group work and discussion, lectures, and practical sessions. We will study teen development, looking at physiological, psychological, spiritual, and social aspects related to teens.
