KIDS YOGA TEACHER TRAINING

On completion of the 300hrs. YTT, one can opt to complement it with our 100hrs
KYTT program, which is specially designed keeping in mind the imparting of yoga to children in the age range of 5-13yrs.
Teaching yoga to children is a different ball game altogether and comes with its own unique set of challenges. Factors such as varied age group, short attention span, non- seriousness towards the subject etc. have to be cleverly tackled, enable reach the essence of the practice to these little minds.
Our Kids YTT program has been designed to equip the future teachers with all the necessary tools, to be able to understand each and every child's individual need and cater to him/her accordingly, in a manner where they don't feel intimidated by the process but learn to slowly and steadily enjoy it, very organically assimilating it into
their young lives for a bright future.
