Learn the Secrets to Becoming an Amazing Kids Yoga Teacher!
Become an Internationally Certified
Kids Yoga Teacher
Fully Online, Fully Accredited,
Fully Transformational
Children are faced with so many issues from a young age. Bullying, lack of confidence, fear of acceptance, never feeling good enough, struggles to find balance, stress, anxiety and problems focusing – these are all common issues.
Yoga and mindfulness offer children a tool to cope with these feelings and trauma. An opportunity to rise above and beyond the horrible thoughts that can repeatedly echo in a child’s mind.
Imagine a world where every child feels content, seen, heard, and truly believes in themselves. A world where they do not rely on external praise and opinion but feel empowered to follow their intuition and hearts. A world where children can become extraordinary!
You now have an opportunity to share Yoga and Mindfulness with the younger generations. Teaching them the skills and providing them with the tools to help make their lives – and, in turn, the world – a happier place!
Our children’s and teens’ yoga and mindfulness teacher training provides a holistic and sustainable course that will grow the whole child, with creativity woven into all aspects of learning.
With a focus on emotional intelligence, self-confidence, resilience, community awareness and values, our teaching is student-centred. You will experience themes based on a continuum of human consciousness development and ‘the culture of childhood’ when selecting kids’ yoga lesson themes to engage so the kids you teach have a positive association with themselves and affirmation so that they develop self-confidence.
We wanted to make this a comprehensive, self-paced training for you so the quality and quantity of content in this training far exceeds an in-person training!

Our Philosophy & Values
The core educational philosophy of this training and experience is that all children are born with a natural and insatiable curiosity, and that people learn best in non-coerced, self-directed situations.
We are inspired by the way in which integral teaching sees the child as rich, resilient and resourceful and always in relationship with his/her environment, encompassing an all-inclusive survey of the human experience.
The mentor is a patient observer and moderator, with the ability to step back and allow discussion and discovery.
By learning alongside us, you are able to provide countless opportunities for children to explore a world without boundaries.
We help preserve the natural love of learning that people are born with!!

“We believe that every child walks their own life path. Our role is to stimulate and support motivation from within. By encouraging the discovery and learning opportunities from the child’s natural interests, we build their self-confidence and love for learning.
By offering children as much space as possible, they can discover and create and be free to explore their natural instincts and gain life skills and knowledge through their own unique personal experiences.

What Students are saying about our Kids Yoga Teacher Training...
“The benefits of mindfulness and yoga are unquestionable, Sunrise School Bali undertook the Kids Yoga teacher training in 2020 across all areas of our school. As a result, we now have all of our teachers using consistent language and techniques with our students to support them in their emotional, social and behavioral journeys. At Sunrise, we believe all children learn best when they feel safe and supported, so this Kids Yoga program has offered us a way to connect with our students on a deeper level! When children feel connected, they can learn. The Mindfulness activity card sets are a wonderful and practical tool for teachers to use in all classes, and at all times during the day. We often hear the children talking about the ‘Sound Detectives’ and ‘The Belly Breath’. Our teachers have also been through a personal journey in understanding how important their own well-being and care is to their role as a teacher. It was interesting for them to discover that the techniques provided in this training has given them for working with children are just as relevant for them as adults. We highly recommend this Kids Yoga Teacher Training and the tools for both teachers and children. We are very grateful for working with our teachers with this program and allowing them to extend themselves both professionally and personally.”
– Sunrise School (Bali, Indonesia)
“This was my first time taking any sort of yoga training for children and I’m so inspired. When I first signed myself up my intentions were to find more tools to work with children in a classroom setting. I have been working in International High Schools as a theatre teacher for many years, so I was hoping to discover more ideas to use with my students to encourage mindfulness, address performance anxiety, confidence and self-belief. These tools however not only provided me with a range of useful tools to weave into my work with older children but also an amazing range of ideas to use in my daily life with my own toddler. I hadn’t expected such a comprehensive course introducing me to brain, physical and sensory development. I have taken several teacher trainings over the years but I have never walked away with such life-affirming and useful techniques – my heart is full. I am very grateful and can totally recommend this kids yoga course to anyone and everyone wanting to make a difference in the lives of children. Particularly those who want to more deeply understand their own child’s development and parenting journey.”
– Jean Simmons (Australia)
“This course is well organized and provides a detailed approach to teaching yoga to children and teens. It provided a lot more more details and insights than I expected! It was comprehensive and inspiring and offers information and materials that are transferrable to all levels of yoga, which will enhance my own practice too.
I highly recommend this teacher training course to anyone interested in teaching yoga to children and teens. I was impressed with the course and look forward to taking it in-person with you sometime!”
– Mary Ann Gomez (USA)
“I have been providing kids’ yoga classes during Covid lockdown but wasn’t sure if I was on the right track. Also I was running out of ideas. This course has provided me with a confirmation of my skills until now and has also shown me new ideas to pass on to the kids. Also my use of pranayama and meditation were not so intensive – I have really been able to expand on these areas thanks to this Kids Yoga teacher training course.”
– Lisa Abrahams (Germany)
“The training was well-paced and the reading materials are colorful and engaging! The videos are easy to follow and you can tell that the content developer was someone who genuinely cares about the craft, the children and you! There is even a caution to not burnout and a self-love guide at the end! Thank you!”

“I booked this course not really having any expectations, I just knew that there was going to be a lot of information to squeeze into that amount of time. I loved EVERY. SINGLE. SECOND. Jeanne really has a way of capturing your attention & relaying information in a way that really makes you want to learn more, she opens a cosmos in your mind & is one of the most inspiring people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Being able to visit the school & really immerse ourselves in the practical part was honestly such a heart- warming experience.
