The Happy Little Yogi Flow is a delightful children’s yoga teacher training programme, suited to yoga instructors or yoga-practising teachers or individuals who are passionate about teaching children to breathe, tune in with their body and be mindful.
The next training will be on February 1st, 2nd, and 8th 2020, at the Letchworth Centre for Healthy Living
This truly beautiful method was developed over the past decade by Happy Little Yogi’s founder Jane Oppegaard, who teaches children fun and engaging yoga classes, where the breath, yoga poses, meditations and other yogic principles are explored through games and yoga flow routines.
Join Jane on a fun and dynamic intensive 3-day course: get enthused by her charming manner and loving vibe, learn from her proven success and gain the confidence to go out and pass on the magic of yoga to little people. Become a child again as you take part in fun games, connect with your body’s energy through breath, movement and chant while letting your creative mind blossom.
The programme covers the following topics: posture; poses; breathing techniques; meditations, mantras and sound work, routines, games, relaxation and visualisations.
The Happy Little Yogi Flow translates into a loving, nurturing, child-friendly practice. Meditations and mantras are taught in their original form (Gurmukhi & Sanskrit) as well as in English and as positive affirmations. These are all supported in the training manual and with video links.
Over the 3 days, lots of enticing music is played to set the mood for the various modules.
The routines created during the course are filmed and shared privately within the group for future review.
Students are required to pursue a personal practice in the form of routines, chants, meditations, reading, etc as well as practice with children prior to the final assessment class. Instructors can then choose to set their own children’s yoga classes or to join the Happy Little Yogi’s team of instructors.
The Happy Little Yogi Flow is a 40-hour programme accredited by Yoga Alliance Professionals. Participants are issued a ‘certificate in teaching children’s yoga’, which is suitable for children aged 4-12 years old. The course is currently run in Hertfordshire and as of 2020 will be coming to Cambridge, London and other locations across the country. Two specialised training days will also be released early 2020: one for pre-schooler yoga and one for teenage yoga.
