Overview

We are delighted that you are interested in the Yo-Chi Programme.    

Yo-Chi is the brainchild of Sue Woodd, an international master trainer in Yoga and Tai Chi.

Sue has over 30 years experience in health and wellbeing and runs the Seasonal Yoga Teaching Training school for adults. Sue first had the idea of developing a seasonal programme for children nearly 10 years ago, having observed the rise in mental health illness and the effects of technical overload on young people.

There is nothing like Yo-Chi! Essentially it is a Seasonal Yoga based programme but also includes vital learning aspects about the function of our organs, healthy eating, emotional awareness and mindfulness based tools. All of this is brought to life through fun characters, story-telling and role-play.

The Yo-Chi Programme is now offered as a Licence. Not only does the Licence give Yoga Teachers training in a Children’s Yoga, it also provides you with a brand new curriculum for each Season!

The  Programme focuses on our special ‘Yo-chi’ style exercise and holistic health education for children. Through fun and engaging activities you will learn to help children to extend their understanding of the functions of their bodies, healthy eating, seasonal food, emotional awareness, yoga based exercise and mindfulness. You will learn to bring these themes to life through storytelling, role-play, ‘Yo-chi’ movement and seasonal activities.

This training not only provides you with a thorough understanding of yoga for children but also offers you a new curriculum for each season, packed with exercises, yoga/drama games and a unique Campfire story.

Yo-Chi is is now run in many schools as part of the curriculum, after schools clubs and private classes.

 

How does it work?

 


This is more than just a training programme - we have spent nearly ten years writing a rolling curriculum for schools and it made sense to us to offer the programme as a licence.

Our training is very unique because once you have trained in our programme you automatically own a licence to the Yo-Chi Programme! We then take you on as part of the team and we help you to grow the programme in your area.

There is an initial 4 day induction which includes your manual and flip chart. This training will also include the curriculum for this season and support in getting the programme of the ground in your area.

 

Cost £550


Your four day induction is a thorough introduction to Seasonal Yoga and all aspects of our unique holistic programme for children which includes learning about our organs and the food we eat through our vibrant animated organ characters, Yo-Chi energy based exercise and our special Camp-fire stories for the season, role-play for emotional awareness, relaxation and mindfulness for children. 

The training also covers marketing your classes, child development, teaching skills and child protection. 

 

To keep your licence up to date you then pay just £33 per month, this includes:

 

* FIVE free training dates per year and will provide you with a NEW programme for every season, packed with exercises, games and stories

 

 * On going support from the head office to assist you in running and marketing the programme as a part time or full time business

 

 * Access to all marketing and artwork material

 

 * Support and connection from the wider team

 

Running a licence means you can then run the programme where ever you wish - retaining the profit from your classes. The programme is presently being successfully run by other licencees in schools and nurseries as after school clubs and as part of the curriculum. It can also be extended to parties/ festivals and other bespoke events. The on going licence/training fee which must be kept updated for you to run the programme.

 Yo-Chi’ Style of movement – the key focus of our activities 




‘Yo-Chi’ is an inspirational and distinct style of exercise that has been developed from Yoga and Tai-chi by Sue Woodd, an internationally renowned Yoga and Tai-chi teacher, in conjunction with Laura Wills, a Dance and Drama Teacher and Jan Earney a former Head Teacher. With over 70 years of teaching experience between them Sue, Laura and Jan have each brought different elements to the development of ‘Yo-Chi’.

‘Yo-Chi’ has been designed as an accessible, fun and engaging way to help children stay fit, active and flexible while giving them tools to help maximise their vitality.

The Yo-Chi Programme will involve the children in:

 

Yo-chi’ style exercises and activities to help them stay fit, healthy and happy

Becoming more aware of the different types of energies we experience through daily and seasonal cycles.

   

Each session will always end with a short, reflective period of relaxation to return the children home energised and centred but ready for a peaceful night.

 

Our syllabus

  

Our course covers in depth all aspects of how to teach children yoga safely, our own blend of yoga exercise, drama, storytelling and an understanding of how to deliver this to children within the primary and pre-school age ranges. Access to our comprehensive curriculum will be granted once you have finished your induction to our satisfaction and will be dependent on continuing with our seasonal based update training.

  1. Yo-Chi kids seasonal yoga teacher training

    I thoroughly enjoyed the Yo-Chi teacher training and felt well equipped to begin teaching children after the course. The course was well put together, interesting and had a great mix of practical and theory based learning. The resources available after the course are excellent, and I feel supported and confident in putting together classes. I have started several weekly classes and to date they have been very successful. The tutors on the course were all very knowledgeable, approachable and professional and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the training to anyone thinking of becoming a children’s yoga teacher.
