Kids Yoga Teacher Training

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 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!

As a recent graduate of the 95-hour KAY Virtual Advanced Training, I feel fully prepared to teach all eight limbs of yoga to children from birth through the teenage years, in a variety of settings and with confidence. I highly recommend Kidding Around Yoga trainings to any current or aspiring children's yoga teacher, or anyone looking to bring yoga to their home, studio or classroom. There's a class for literally anyone and everyone who wants to bring the gifts of yoga, meditation and mindfulness to children. You will not regret it!

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! I can not wait to meet you [Haris] and give you a HUGE hug for bringing so much excitement and joy to my life and the young yogis I am so blessed to teach in my Yoga class!

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!!!!

One of the best personal and career decisions I have ever made was to become a Kidding Around Yoga licensee. I was looking to invest myself into a company that values authenticity, collaboration, integrity and positivity and when I took the live training, it solidified my feelings that Kidding Around Yoga was in alignment to my philosophy and ethics. Becoming a licensee was a quick, organic and easy progression into creating a business in service to children and families. Im a busy Mom at home full time during the day with my children and I work and volunteer part time in the evenings and on weekends. I knew that taking on another professional commitment would add more fun and chaos to the mix so I wanted to utilize any support Kidding Around Yoga could offer me to get up and running. After finishing the licensee test, I was officially congratulated and welcomed into an amazing online forum of licensees. In the forum I have found support in whatever it is I have needed to create my Yoga business. Whether it be hand holding, enthusiasm, marketing strategies, business & logo basics, website building, social media support, etc. When I become a licensee, I became a part of a family that shares the same passion and dedication to expand Kidding Around Yoga classes to as many children as possible. I was given a beautiful website, advice on starting my own facebook page and access to incredible professional marketing tools. I don’t want to call it a ‘business in a box’ because its SO MUCH MORE but with all the support KAY offers, my business really did get created by just lifting that lid and getting myself out there! A big bonus of becoming a licensee is that there is always room to expand my creativity. Haris Lender, the founder of KAY encourages her teachers to share their unique style and approach in collaboration with Kidding Around Yoga. She takes the time to talk with you, learn about what lights you up inside and finds ways for you to express this within your business and within the Kidding Around Yoga curriculum. Thank you for this wonderful opportunity KAY.

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 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!

I want to take a moment to applaud you on the magnificent gift you are spreading through the world…. I can honestly tell you that you have blown me away, so much so that I’m really at a loss for words that can truly express how grateful I am to you. I have taken so many classes and trainings and Kidding Around Yoga teachings has managed to fill that empty feeling that had always stuck with me after other trainings. I sit there in the training and I see the gift you have and how you are so willing to truly share this to help others spread your love and it amazes me!! Haris I will always be in debt to you for this gift. I sincerely thank you for this amazing lesson and for helping fill the empty space in me. May the good Lord bless you always Haris! I am always here and willing to do what ever I can to spread your love to our children!

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.
