Kids Yoga Teacher Training

Kidding Around Yoga is a wonderful program. It all starts with Haris and continues with her amazing team of mentors, assistants and trainers. Everyone is very friendly, extremely knowledgeable and always willing to go above and beyond to help others. It is this big family of yogis that you feel connected to without ever having met them. The course was extremely informative in teaching the Science of Yoga and the method of getting the kids engaged and having fun is just incredible!

Just wanted to share that the Tuesday after training I went all through the school and yoga, mindfulness and little brain breaks were EVERYWHERE! It is amazing the change in all my staff. We always had mindfulness built in, but the teachers and staff are taking it to a whole new level! Yay! Thank you!!

Last night I had back to back classes at the studio where I teach. A kids class followed by an adults class. When I went to put the music on for my adults class, the kids play list was still on and I blasted “A Yogi Went to Sea” accidentally… they wanted to hear it so I left it on. We ended up doing all of the songs on the play list (30 minutes) and then continued on with a super playful “adults” class afterwards. They absolutely LOVED the class and I received messages from the students afterwards saying that it was the “funnest” Yoga class they have ever done!!

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!

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.

I can’t believe how many different possibilities there are with this program. I’m going to be able to implement all the different aspects all throughout my classroom all day. My students and my children took the sample class today and I can see how much they enjoyed it. This program works.

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.

Just finished my training with Sarah in Orlando this weekend. I can hardly contain myself. I almost just had my neighbors (who were outside when I pulled in), my husband and daughter (Liv is 16 going on 26 ;)) all doing a class before I even got into my house. Sarah is such a motivator. I’d like to compliment her on the amazing job she did this weekend. She is a NATURAL! I haven’t laughed that many times in one weekend since college. I had NO IDEA what to expect coming into this weekend. I was pleasantly surprised. Thank you for finding Sarah and for creating KAY. I am looking forward to changing the lives of children, one child at a time, thru Yoga, play and secret gardens.

Today I peeked in my 4-year old’s room during nap. He was having trouble sleeping. I saw his eyes squinted shut and his lips and fingers moving to “Peace begins with me.” As a parent, this means the world to me. As a Yoga teacher, I have taken the 3-day training with Haris Lender twice now. Both times I have left the training with invaluable information, tools, and so many FUN things to do with children! This training has changed my life, my family, and how I share Yoga with children. One of my favorite things about KAY is that it teaches children the true science of Yoga, mindfulness, and so much more in the way they learn best–through play! This is training is so valuable on many levels. If you are on the fence about taking one–jump off & register!! Thanks Haris for all you do!

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.
