Kids Yoga Teacher Training

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.

Kidding Around Yoga isn’t kidding around. Well, they are. But they are serious about it. I wanted to help children learn how to self-calm and feel the benefits of Yoga. So I looked for a teacher training program. I found Kidding Around Yoga (KAY) and decided to give it a try. What I didn’t realize was that KAY wasn’t about teaching us how to teach Yoga to kids. KAY was about how to help all children, our next generation, grow as a human race. KAY is on a journey to make many many peaceful and happy children around the globe… children who will grow up knowing how to be peaceful and happy adults. I realized, quickly, that this is something I want to be a part of. Kidding Around Yoga changed my life. I don’t just teach kids Yoga. I live and breathe life lessons to spread joy to the children of our world. KAY is a gift to all of us.

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.

It is so great that KAY allows you to attend [their training] without being a 200 hour certified Yoga instructor because so many teachers and professionals can benefit from knowing these stress management for kids techniques… BUT I am so glad I followed up with my 200 hours because, it was about so much more than Yoga, it was about life. I had some major changes occur throughout the 200 hour training and I am sure that it was not only because of what I was being taught but also because it was changing who I am. Prior to my training, I thought that Yoga was something that you do. However, now I know, that it is a way of life. You can practice your asana but truly living your Yoga is another thing. Having gone into the KAY training for the sole purpose of working with my son, I was unaware that it was paving the way for so many great things! Thank you KAY for starting me on the path of yoga!

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.

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!!!!

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.

I wanted to take the time and tell you how absolutely wonderful this weekend was in your program with Shushanna! This past weekend in training inspired me more than I realized it possibly could! Shushanna was so wonderful and made this experience so magnificent. I can’t thank you enough for putting this wonderful program together and bringing such wonderful opportunities and people into my life!

You will finish this training with a kids Yoga toolkit so enormous, robust, and complete, you will be ready to hit the ground running straight away. I know I sure am! Your expectations will be exceeded all the way to the moon and beyond! Thank you Haris, for sharing all of your many, many gifts with us all!

I just wanted to personally thank you so much for this weekend. It truly was an amazing experience for me on so many levels. It was not just a weekend of training but one of those defining moments in a persons life. So for that words can not express how great full I am to you and your staff.
