What Does a Kids Yoga Class Look Like? 

Here are a few of the tips we share at the Kids Yoga Certificate Training Course:

1. Keep it interactive: Incorporate games, music, and storytelling into your yoga classes. This will help keep the kids engaged and interested in the practice.
2. Create a safe environment: Safety is important when teaching kids yoga. Make sure the space is safe and free from hazards. Also, ensure that the poses and activities are appropriate for the age and skill level of the children.
3. Encourage self-expression: Allow the children to express themselves through their yoga practice. Let them explore different poses and encourage them to use their imagination.
4. Focus on breathing: Breathing exercises are an essential aspect of yoga. Teach the children to focus on their breath, which can help them relax and manage stress and anxiety.
5. Make it relatable and age appropriate: Big lessons can be learned from simple explanations. For a practice that goes beyond the physical, teach children how to navigate life’s challenges through simple yoga analogies. They understand more than we think they do!
