You will learn creative instruction in meditation, mindfulness, breathing practices, relaxation, poses, games & activities, and lots of stress management for kids. You'll also learn entrepreneurial skills like how to run a Kids Yoga day camp, Kids Yoga birthday parties and so much more. Most videos included in this online training course now include closed captions for all of our hard of hearing friends.
When I took my training I never realized how much my life would change and how much of an impact I would have on children. The amazing tools and resources that we are given prepared me to go out and improve the lives of children by teaching them how to calm their minds. This has been especially helpful for many of my students dealing with anxiety.

KAY is a great program for kids to follow and also has many levels of training available for those who wish to teach. The music is great, the games are fun and the theories behind it all are solid and form lifelong lessons for children and they don't even know it. My little one loves it and so do I!!

It was a wonderful experience. During this pandemic, this course has brought me so much positivities and direction in the situation.
Even it's an online course, I can feel the support of my instructors and the rest of the Kidding Around Yoga Community on the Facebook group.
I'm very delighted to be part of this, and sharing the values that I've learnt to our generation!

I am swapping the in person training to online one due to pandemic. At the beginning, I feel like it’s a long way to go however once you start, everything goes well and cannot stop moving forward. Since they did provide a practical information to teach a Kids Yoga Class and philosophy of yoga. Plus, giving an idea how to make your future plan!

I really enjoyed my online training with Kidding Around Yoga! I am a certified 200 RYT instructor, and I loved how consistent the training was to yoga philosophy and methodology. The KAY outline promotes fun and movement but also other aspects of yoga, such as meditation, mindfulness, raja yoga, and karma yoga (all 8 limbs!) I also love their original music! I did volunteer teaching for my 200 hour program at an elementary school, and fun, appropriate music (that wasn’t distracting/ didn’t make them think of their favorite movie), was one big thing I felt like I was missing! I also received

While I had hoped to take a live training, COVID had other plans. I was anxious to get started so instead I opted to do the online course. I loved that I could take it at my own pace and the 2, 2 hour weekend sessions solidified all that I had learned. Everyone from start to finish were so professional, flexible, and knowledgeable. I am so impressed with this training program that I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who works with kids and wants to learn how to successfully execute yoga teaching for children.

I am absolutely thrilled with my KAY training experiences! I completed the Online Kidding Around Yoga Teacher Training and followed it up with the Virtual OKAY Supplement on ZOOM, which I highly recommend. The Supplement dives so much deeper into the wealth of information in the OKAY Training and the OKAY class outline. It provides the participants the opportunity to learn from incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced teachers and to ask questions with real-time answers. Participants are assessed one-on-one with immediate, real-time feedback. I also signed up for OKAY Plus, which gave

I took the OKAY course and I am so glad I did! I am a RYT 200 so that definitely helped but I believe anyone can benefit from this course. Children are constantly bombarded with stimuli like never before. KAY’s meditation mantra, “peace begins with me” is a wonderful lesson that most children likely don’t learn on their own. I am also grateful for the support from this group of people. It is made very clear if we have any questions, to reach out for help. I’m truly excited to work with as many children as I can and I feel completely equipped and ready!
