Kids Yoga Teacher Training

I am so appreciative and grateful to you and your wonderful trainers for sharing all of your knowledge, experiences and love with us newbies!!! You have created such a caring, positive, loving learning environment for so many of us to enjoy and grow from:) The kids I have been working with are having boatloads of fun and sharing it with other kids all the time, and I have had such positive feedback from the parents, too! So…thank you, thank you, thank you a million times over!

After becoming a certified KAY teacher, choosing to become a licensee was the smartest decision I could have made to promote and grow my new business. The marketing materials and KAY logo gave me an instant look of professionalism. It’s nice to not only have a “brand” behind me but also a family of other licensees to provide guidance and direction.

I am already trained in toddler Yoga but didn’t feel my previous training had taught me enough asanas to teach the children or just enough to keep them interested and engaged. I found KAY and wanted to go on a live course but as they don’t currently have any in the UK, I decided to do OKAY. It was the best choice I’ve made! Haris and my mentor Katie have been so helpful with my many questions. The course itself, is interesting, factual and so much fun! I completed it in 2 weeks, I was hooked and I was disappointed when it ended! I cant wait to take the PreKAY and any future courses that KAY has to offer! Ive started teaching my KAY classes and my children love them! I cant wait to teach even more and for my confidence to build with every class! If you are thinking of taking a KAY course, don’t hesitate, sign up today!

This has been one of the most amazing weekends. I am so excited to hit the ground running and teach everything I learned… Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I got some great feedback from last week’s class… one mom emailed saying [her daughter] went to the secret garden that night before she went to bed… that made my day because this little girl suffers from anxiety and I helped her find a peaceful place… I LOVE this!!!!

My name is Rebecca and I trained several years ago with Kidding Around Yoga. I am a full time primary school teacher in Oxford and I teach your Kidding Around Yoga every week. It is without doubt the best part of the whole week for children and for me. Every single child loves it. They then sing all the words to your songs in the playground and start impromptu yoga sessions themselves on the field rather than playing other games. They use all the strategies you give in their daily lives and they are all fine calm, peaceful, kind, loving children. We have children with high level of need, some children with ADHD and autism and all children, without exception love everything about Kidding Around Yoga. I want to say thank you so much. This has transformed the classroom. Every parent at the recent online Parents Evening said that it was their child’s favourite subject and attendance is excellent in the hope we’re doing yoga again that day.  It has led to a calm, purposeful atmosphere with calm, peaceful, happy children. Just wanted you to know the impact you have had for us and I’m sure all over the world.

My daughter started to get a migraine one night after the standardized testing. She couldn’t stop crying, head hurt, nausea. Nothing worked. Finally I said – ‘how about trying the meditation you learned at KAY?’ So she went to a peaceful place in her mind, visualized a mountain river, a hammock, blue sky, rustling leaves, the sound of water and birds. It worked. She feel asleep!

It was such an experience. Not only did it open my eyes to yoga for children and how it can have such an impact on their well-being, but it also deepened my own practice. It is often said we can learn a lot from children, and yoga is just another example of how that is so true. Kids get stressed out too, or feed off our stress, and this amazing program can really help kids in need.

As cliche as it sounds, the KAY training I took has changed my life, as well as my family. I have learned invaluable information to bring back to my classroom that not only the kids love but that makes my job WAY MORE FUN! I am stopped everywhere I go and get asked if I am the Yoga lady and the children want to know if they can come to one of my classes. Once you see a child’s face as they float out of your door, you will be a believer!!!

As you already know, the benefits of Yoga are infinite… for many students it brings much needed calm, and for others increased alertness. Your music enhanced the experience tenfold . . . it captivated students’ attention, freed me from excessive verbiage and allowed students to access the spiritual essence of Yoga through words and music. Our performance of your song, Salutation to the Sun, at our 100th Day of School celebration will always be one of my favorite teaching memories.

Miracles do happen and KAY is one of them. I had not experienced a feeling of complete bliss for a long time. For all the people involved: Haris, Evan, Jai, Magela, Katie and Raquel, for all the situations, for all the difficulties and suffering, for all the blessings that have brought me to this day, as I am….Thank you, Muchas Gracias! I have found Haris & Co. an unequal team of support and cheer. The trainings will probably provide you with the most fun you will ever have for three continuous days but the lesson will last you a lifetime while changing it. You will love kids more than you ever did before and you will enjoy every minute you spend introducing them to all the magic in they KAY program. Namasté!
