Introduction
Have you ever imagined turning your love of yoga, movement, mindfulness, or working with children into a career that truly makes a difference?
You're not alone.
Every year, thousands of teachers, early childhood educators, yoga instructors, parents, occupational therapists, and children's wellness professionals begin searching for answers to questions like:
How do I become a kids yoga teacher?
Do I need certification?
Can I teach in schools or childcares?
How much do kids yoga teachers make?
What is the best kids yoga teacher training?
Can I start my own business?
Unfortunately, most of the information available online is incomplete, outdated, or focuses only on the certification itself.
The reality is that becoming a successful kids yoga teacher involves much more than learning yoga poses.
Today's educators need the confidence to teach engaging classes, the skills to manage groups of children, the creativity to keep every lesson exciting, and the business knowledge to attract families, schools, and childcare centres.
That's exactly why we created this guide.
Whether you're hoping to teach one class a week or dream of building a thriving children's wellness business, this article will walk you through every step of the journey.
By the end, you'll understand exactly what it takes to become a certified kids yoga teacher and how to build a career you'll love.

What is Kids Yoga?
Kids yoga is much more than asking children to sit quietly on a yoga mat.
It's a playful, engaging, and developmentally appropriate approach to helping children build confidence, emotional regulation, body awareness, resilience, mindfulness, and physical literacy through movement and imagination.
Unlike traditional adult yoga classes, children's yoga is built around storytelling, games, creativity, music, breathing exercises, and imaginative adventures.
One day, children might travel through the jungle pretending to be lions, monkeys, and butterflies.
The next, they might become astronauts exploring space or superheroes learning about courage, kindness, and confidence.
Every pose, breathing exercise, and mindfulness activity is carefully adapted to match the child's age, developmental stage, and attention span.
At Little Yogis Academy®, we believe that children learn best when they're laughing, moving, imagining, and connecting with others.
That's why our classes combine yoga, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and play into experiences children genuinely look forward to each week.
Kids yoga isn't about creating perfect yoga poses.
It's about helping children develop skills they'll use for the rest of their lives.
These include:
Self-confidence
Emotional regulation
Focus and attention
Balance and coordination
Flexibility and strength
Mindfulness
Kindness and empathy
Self-awareness
Resilience
Stress management
Whether taught in schools, childcare centres, camps, recreation programs, or community classes, kids yoga provides children with tools they can carry into every area of life.
Why Kids Yoga Is More Important Than Ever
Children today are growing up in a very different world than previous generations.
From increased screen time and busy family schedules to rising concerns about childhood anxiety, emotional regulation, and physical inactivity, many children are navigating challenges that simply didn't exist to the same extent a generation ago.
At the same time, teachers, early childhood educators, and parents are searching for practical ways to help children develop resilience, confidence, focus, and healthy coping skills.
That's where kids yoga and mindfulness can make a meaningful difference.
More than just stretching or learning yoga poses, kids yoga provides children with lifelong tools to help them understand their bodies, regulate their emotions, build healthy relationships, and develop a positive connection with movement.
It's one of the few activities that supports physical, mental, emotional, and social development all at once.
The Benefits of Kids Yoga
When taught in a developmentally appropriate and engaging way, kids yoga can support children in many areas of growth.
Emotional Regulation
One of the greatest gifts we can give children is the ability to recognize, understand, and manage their emotions.
Through breathing exercises, mindfulness activities, and movement, children begin learning practical strategies they can use when they feel overwhelmed, frustrated, excited, or anxious.
Rather than simply being told to "calm down," they develop real tools to help calm both their minds and bodies.
Improved Focus & Attention
Many teachers notice that students return from yoga sessions feeling calmer, more focused, and ready to learn.
Mindfulness activities encourage children to slow down, pay attention to the present moment, and strengthen their ability to concentrate during classroom activities.
For schools and childcare centres, yoga can become a valuable part of creating a positive learning environment.
Physical Literacy & Healthy Movement
Kids yoga develops much more than flexibility.
Children build:
Balance
Coordination
Core strength
Body awareness
Motor planning
Posture
Spatial awareness
These foundational movement skills support participation in sports, playground activities, dance, and everyday physical activity.
Confidence & Self-Esteem
Unlike competitive activities, yoga encourages children to celebrate progress rather than perfection.
Every child participates at their own pace.
As they master new poses, breathing techniques, and mindfulness activities, they begin to develop confidence in their own abilities while learning that every body is unique and worthy of respect.
Social & Emotional Learning
Many children's yoga classes include partner poses, teamwork challenges, kindness activities, and opportunities to practice communication and empathy.
These experiences naturally reinforce important social-emotional learning (SEL) skills such as:
Cooperation
Kindness
Respect
Problem solving
Self-awareness
Relationship building
These are skills children use long after class has ended.
Stress Reduction
Children experience stress too.
Whether it's starting school, making friends, navigating family changes, or managing busy schedules, yoga provides children with a safe space to slow down, breathe, and reconnect with themselves.
Many parents report that children begin using breathing exercises at home during bedtime, before tests, or when feeling overwhelmed.
Those are powerful life skills that extend far beyond the yoga mat.
Why Schools & Childcares Are Embracing Kids Yoga
Across Canada and around the world, more schools, childcare centres, camps, and community organizations are recognizing the value of incorporating yoga and mindfulness into children's daily routines.
Educators are looking for programs that don't just keep children active, but also support their emotional well-being, classroom behaviour, and overall development.
Kids yoga complements many existing educational goals by supporting:
Physical literacy
Self-regulation
Mental wellness
Social-emotional learning
Inclusive education
Mindfulness practices
Healthy lifestyle habits
Positive classroom culture
Because classes are active, engaging, and adaptable for different ages and abilities, they can easily become a favourite part of the week for both children and educators.
More Than a Trend
Children's yoga isn't simply a growing trend.
It's part of a larger movement toward supporting the whole child.
Families and educators increasingly recognize that success isn't measured only by academic achievement. Confidence, resilience, emotional intelligence, creativity, kindness, and healthy movement all play an important role in helping children thrive.
That's why demand for high-quality children's yoga and mindfulness programs continues to grow in schools, childcare centres, recreation programs, libraries, camps, and community organizations.
For passionate educators, this creates an exciting opportunity to build a meaningful career while making a lasting impact on children's lives.
Why This Matters for Future Kids Yoga Teachers
If you're considering becoming a kids yoga teacher, you're entering a profession that combines purpose with opportunity.
Every class you teach has the potential to help children develop skills they'll use for the rest of their lives, whether that's learning how to calm themselves before a test, building confidence to try something new, or simply discovering the joy of movement.
At the same time, the growing demand for children's wellness programming means there are more opportunities than ever to teach in schools, childcare centres, private classes, camps, birthday parties, and community organizations.
For many educators, it's the perfect combination of meaningful work, flexibility, creativity, and entrepreneurship.
“Key Takeaway:
Kids yoga is no longer viewed as just a recreational activity. It has become a valuable tool for supporting children’s physical health, emotional regulation, mindfulness, social-emotional learning, and overall well-being. As demand continues to grow, trained kids yoga educators are finding increasing opportunities to teach in schools, childcare centres, camps, recreation programs, and private classes.”
Who Can Become a Kids Yoga Teacher?
One of the biggest misconceptions about teaching kids yoga is that you need to be a lifelong yoga instructor or have years of experience before you can begin.
The truth is, some of the best children's yoga teachers come from completely different backgrounds.
If you enjoy working with children, love helping others, and are excited to create fun, engaging experiences, you're already starting with some of the most important qualities needed to become a successful kids yoga teacher.
At Little Yogis Academy®, we've trained educators from all walks of life, many of whom had never taught yoga before joining our program.
Our training is designed to teach not only the yoga itself, but also how to confidently teach children of different ages through movement, storytelling, mindfulness, and play.
Our Students Come From Many Different Backgrounds
Teachers
Classroom teachers often incorporate yoga and mindfulness into their daily routines to improve focus, classroom management, emotional regulation, and student well-being.
Many also begin offering after-school programs, school workshops, and summer camps.
Early Childhood Educators
ECEs already understand child development and play-based learning, making kids yoga a natural extension of the incredible work they already do every day.
Many Little Yogis educators teach directly within childcare centres or launch their own mobile enrichment businesses.
Adult Yoga Teachers
If you're already teaching adults, adding children's yoga allows you to expand your offerings while reaching a completely new audience.
Many instructors discover they enjoy teaching children just as much as adults and appreciate the creativity that comes with it.
Occupational Therapists & Child Development Professionals
Many therapists use movement, breathing, and mindfulness to complement the work they already do with children.
Kids yoga can be adapted to support emotional regulation, body awareness, sensory experiences, and confidence building.
Parents
Many parents begin teaching because they fell in love with practicing yoga alongside their own children.
Some simply want to share yoga with their local community.
Others eventually grow successful businesses teaching birthday parties, camps, preschool classes, and family yoga.
Recreation Leaders & Camp Staff
Children's recreation programs continue to look for engaging wellness activities that encourage movement while supporting children's mental well-being.
Kids yoga fits perfectly into camps, recreation centres, libraries, and community organizations.
Career Changers
Perhaps you're simply looking for a more meaningful career.
Many of our educators were previously working in completely different industries before deciding to build businesses that aligned with their passion for helping children.
No previous teaching experience is required.
Our goal is to provide the confidence, curriculum, and business tools to help you succeed.
Do You Need Yoga Experience?
Not necessarily.
While some previous yoga experience is helpful, you do not need to be an advanced yoga practitioner to become an excellent kids yoga teacher.
Teaching children is very different from teaching adults.
Children respond to:
imagination
storytelling
games
creativity
encouragement
movement
fun
Far more than perfectly demonstrating advanced yoga poses.
At Little Yogis Academy®, we focus on helping educators confidently facilitate joyful, developmentally appropriate classes rather than striving for perfection.
The Qualities That Matter Most
The best kids yoga teachers aren't necessarily the most flexible.
They're the ones who are:
✅ Patient
✅ Creative
✅ Encouraging
✅ Enthusiastic
✅ Reliable
✅ Willing to keep learning
✅ Passionate about helping children
These qualities can be developed, and they're often far more valuable than years of yoga experience alone.
Can You Teach Internationally?
Yes!!
One of the wonderful things about children's yoga is that the skills you learn can be applied almost anywhere in the world.
Our educators teach in:
Schools
Childcare centres
Recreation centres
Libraries
Camps
Community organizations
Private classes
Birthday parties
Wellness events
Because Little Yogis Academy® provides flexible lesson plans and adaptable teaching methods, many educators successfully tailor their classes to meet the needs of their local communities.
You Don't Have to Build Your Business Alone
One of the biggest fears new educators have is:
"What happens after I finish my training?"
That's exactly why we created Little Yogis Academy OS™.
Instead of simply giving you a certificate and wishing you luck, we provide the tools, systems, curriculum, business resources, marketing support, and technology needed to help you confidently launch and grow your business.
Whether your goal is teaching one class a week or building a full-time children's wellness business, you'll have guidance every step of the way.
“Almost anyone with a passion for working with children can become a kids yoga teacher. Teachers, ECEs, yoga instructors, therapists, parents, recreation leaders, and career changers all make excellent candidates. Success depends more on enthusiasm, creativity, and a willingness to learn than previous yoga experience.”
See everything included inside Little Yogis Academy OS™.
Do You Need Yoga Alliance Certification to Teach Kids Yoga?
One of the most common questions we hear is:
"Do I need Yoga Alliance certification to teach kids yoga?"
The short answer is:
In most cases, no.
While Yoga Alliance is a well-known organization within the adult yoga industry, there is currently no universal requirement that children's yoga teachers be Yoga Alliance certified in order to teach kids yoga classes.
Instead, schools, childcare centres, recreation programs, camps, libraries, and community organizations are typically much more interested in your ability to safely and confidently teach engaging classes for children.
What matters most is having the right training, understanding child development, carrying appropriate insurance, and delivering high-quality programming.
What is Yoga Alliance?
Yoga Alliance is an international organization that maintains a voluntary registry for adult yoga teachers and teacher training schools.
Many adult yoga instructors choose to register with Yoga Alliance after completing a qualifying adult yoga teacher training program.
It's important to understand that Yoga Alliance is not a government licensing body, nor does it regulate who can or cannot teach yoga.
Registration is voluntary.
For adults teaching in yoga studios, it can certainly be valuable.
However, children's yoga is a specialized field with very different teaching methods and learning outcomes.
Teaching Children is Different From Teaching Adults
Teaching children isn't simply a matter of adapting an adult yoga class.
Children learn through:
Storytelling
Imagination
Play
Music
Movement
Games
Positive reinforcement
Age-appropriate instruction
Understanding how to engage a room full of energetic preschoolers requires a very different skill set than leading an adult yoga class.
That's why choosing a specialized kids yoga teacher training is often far more valuable than focusing solely on adult yoga credentials.
At Little Yogis Academy®, our training is built specifically for teaching children from toddlers through elementary school, giving educators practical tools they can begin using immediately.
What Do Schools and Childcares Actually Look For?
If your goal is teaching in schools, childcare centres, recreation programs, or community organizations, you'll often find they're looking for qualities such as:
✅ Professional training in children's yoga
✅ Experience working with children
✅ Age-appropriate lesson plans
✅ General liability insurance
✅ A vulnerable sector or criminal record check (where required)
✅ Professional communication
✅ Reliability
✅ A well-organized program
Notice what's not typically on that list?
Yoga Alliance registration.
Every organization has its own hiring or vendor requirements, so it's always a good idea to ask about any specific policies in your area.
Is Little Yogis Academy Yoga Alliance Approved?
Little Yogis Academy® is not a Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga School (RYS).
This is a deliberate choice.
Our focus has always been on providing practical, specialized training for teaching children rather than designing our curriculum around adult yoga registration standards.
Instead of simply helping you earn another certificate, we focus on preparing you to confidently teach children in real-world settings.
Our graduates leave with practical teaching strategies, engaging lesson plans, classroom management skills, business guidance, and access to the tools needed to build a successful children's yoga business.
So... Should You Choose a Yoga Alliance Program?
That depends on your goals.
If your primary goal is to teach adult yoga classes in yoga studios, completing an adult Yoga Alliance-recognized training may be an excellent choice.
If your goal is to:
Teach children
Work in schools
Partner with childcare centres
Lead after-school programs
Run birthday parties
Teach camps
Build your own children's wellness business
...then a specialized kids yoga training is often the more relevant investment.
Many educators actually choose to complete both at different stages of their careers.
Our Philosophy
At Little Yogis Academy®, we believe confidence comes from experience, not just certificates.
That's why our programs focus on helping educators:
Learn the Little Yogis Method™
Build engaging classes children love
Understand child development
Grow a professional business
Confidently teach in schools and childcare centres
Market their services
Access ready-to-use curriculum
Build long-term customer relationships
Our goal isn't simply to certify teachers.
It's to help them succeed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I teach kids yoga without Yoga Alliance?
In many countries, yes. Requirements vary depending on where you teach, but there is generally no universal requirement for children's yoga teachers to hold Yoga Alliance registration.
Can I teach in schools?
Yes. Schools typically look for high-quality programming, professionalism, insurance, and experience working with children. Requirements vary by school board or organization.
Can I teach in childcare centres?
Absolutely. Many childcare centres hire enrichment providers to deliver yoga and mindfulness programming. Professional training, insurance, and strong lesson planning are usually far more relevant than Yoga Alliance registration.
Do I need an adult yoga certification first?
Not necessarily. Many successful kids yoga teachers begin with specialized children's yoga training, especially if they plan to work primarily with young children.
“Michelle’s Advice:
Don’t choose a training program based solely on the logo at the bottom of the website. Choose the one that will best prepare you to confidently teach children and build a sustainable business. The right training should leave you feeling ready to step into a classroom, not wondering what to do next.”

How to Start a Successful Kids Yoga Business
So...
You've completed your kids yoga teacher training.
You feel excited.
Inspired.
Ready to make a difference.
But then reality hits...
"Now what?"
This is where many aspiring kids yoga teachers get stuck.
Most certification programs teach you how to teach yoga.
Very few teach you how to build a successful business.
At Little Yogis Academy®, we believe those are two completely different skill sets.
Teaching an amazing class is only half the journey.
The other half is helping people discover you.
The Biggest Mistake New Kids Yoga Teachers Make
After working with hundreds of educators, I've noticed one mistake that comes up again and again.
They wait for customers to find them.
Unfortunately...
That rarely happens.
You could be the most incredible kids yoga teacher in your community, but if nobody knows you exist, your calendar will stay empty.
One of the biggest lessons I've learned while building Little Yogis Academy® is this:
Visibility creates opportunity.
If people don't see you...
They can't book you.
Think Like a Business Owner
One of the biggest mindset shifts you'll make is realizing that you're no longer just a yoga teacher.
You're a business owner.
That means your role isn't only to teach amazing classes.
It's also to:
Build relationships
Market your services
Follow up with leads
Deliver exceptional customer experiences
Stay organized
Plan ahead
Continue learning
The good news?
You don't have to figure this out on your own.
Where Do Kids Yoga Teachers Actually Find Customers?
Our Marketing Lab is full of Marketing Collateral that you can use on day 1!
One of the wonderful things about children's yoga is that there are many different places you can teach.
You don't need to rely on opening your own studio.
Many educators build thriving businesses by partnering with organizations that are already looking for enrichment programming.
Popular opportunities include:
Schools
Offer:
Wellness workshops
After-school clubs
Family wellness nights
Professional development
Classroom mindfulness
Childcare Centres
Teach:
Weekly enrichment programs
Summer programming
Special events
Family nights
Many childcare centres plan programming several months in advance, so reaching out early is one of the keys to success.
Birthday Parties
Parents are always looking for unique birthday experiences.
Kids yoga parties combine movement, imagination, games, mindfulness, and creativity in a memorable way.
They also often lead to referrals and future class bookings.
Camps
Summer camps, March Break camps, recreation camps, and community organizations frequently hire instructors to deliver wellness programming.
Private Classes
Some educators offer:
Family yoga
Small group classes
Homeschool programs
One-on-one sessions
Michelle's #1 Business Advice
If I could give every new educator just one piece of advice, it would be this:
Market your business every single day.
Even when you're busy.
Even when you already have customers.
Every day, people move into your community.
Schools change staff.
Childcare directors retire.
Families discover children's yoga for the first time.
Marketing isn't something you do once.
It's something successful business owners build into their daily routine.
The Daily Growth Five™
Inside Little Yogis Academy OS™, we encourage educators to complete five simple growth activities each business day.
Post once on social media.
Show your classes.
Celebrate your students.
Share your personality.
People connect with people.
Reach out to one new organization.
Send an email to:
A childcare
A school
A recreation centre
A library
A community organization
Building relationships consistently creates long-term opportunities.
Follow up with one lead.
Many customers don't say yes the first time.
A friendly follow-up email is often the difference between hearing nothing and booking a program.
Improve one thing.
Update your website.
Create a new flyer.
Add photos.
Improve your Google Business Profile.
Learn something new.
Small improvements compound over time.
Celebrate one win.
Business can be challenging.
Celebrate every milestone.
Your first inquiry.
Your first booking.
Your first five-star review.
Your first returning customer.
Success is built one step at a time.
Think One Season Ahead
One of the biggest secrets to running a successful children's enrichment business is planning ahead.
Schools and childcare centres often organize their programming months before classes actually begin.
For example:
🍂 Fall programs should often be promoted during the spring or early summer.
🎄 Winter programming is often booked in the fall.
🌸 Spring classes may begin filling during the winter months.
Successful educators don't wait until September to market fall classes.
They're building relationships well before decisions are made.
Professional Systems Build Trust
As your business grows, professionalism becomes just as important as great teaching.
Parents and organizations expect a smooth experience.
That means having systems in place for:
Registrations
Waivers
Scheduling
Invoicing
Customer communication
CRM
Follow-ups
When your business feels organized and professional, it builds confidence and trust with every customer.
You Don't Need to Build It Alone
One of the reasons we created Little Yogis Academy OS™ was to give educators everything they need to succeed in one connected ecosystem.
Instead of searching for different software, templates, contracts, marketing advice, and business tools, everything works together to support your journey.
From your first class to your first team member, Little Yogis Academy OS™ grows with you.
“Starting a successful kids yoga business requires more than teaching great classes. Educators need to consistently market their services, build relationships with schools and childcare centres, plan ahead, follow up with leads, and use professional systems to manage registrations, bookings, and customer communication. The most successful kids yoga businesses are built through consistent action, strong relationships, and reliable business systems.”
How Much Can Kids Yoga Teachers
One of the first questions people ask before enrolling in a kids yoga teacher training program is:
"Can I actually make money teaching kids yoga?"
The answer is...
Absolutely.
Like any business, your income depends on factors such as your location, experience, marketing efforts, pricing, and how many classes you'd like to teach.
Some educators teach one class a week as a rewarding side income.
Others build full-time businesses teaching in schools, childcare centres, camps, recreation centres, community organizations, and private classes.
The beauty of running a kids yoga business is its flexibility.
You get to choose the schedule, the types of classes you teach, and how large you want your business to become.
There Isn't Just One Way to Earn Income
One of the biggest advantages of becoming a kids yoga teacher is that you're not limited to a single income stream.
Many educators combine several services to create a stable and growing business.
The more diverse your services become, the more resilient your business becomes.
Example Income Scenarios
Every educator's journey is different, but here are a few examples of what a kids yoga business might look like.
Side Business
Teach:
4 weekly childcare classes
1 birthday party each month
Approximate Monthly Revenue:
$2,000 to $3,000+
Perfect for educators looking for flexible income around another career or family commitments.
Growing Business
Teach:
10 childcare classes
2 after-school programs
2 birthday parties
1 school workshop
Approximate Monthly Revenue:
$5,000 to $8,000+
Many educators reach this stage within their first couple of years by consistently building relationships within their community.
Established Business
Offer:
Multiple schools
Multiple childcare centres
Camps
Workshops
Birthday parties
Community programs
Potential Monthly Revenue:
$10,000+
Some educators eventually grow even further by expanding into additional locations or building a team of instructors.
The Biggest Difference Between Successful Educators and Everyone Else
After working with educators across Canada and beyond, one pattern stands out.
The educators who succeed aren't always the best teachers.
They're the most consistent marketers.
They continue introducing themselves to schools.
They follow up.
They post regularly on social media.
They update their Google Business Profile.
They ask happy customers for reviews.
They build relationships.
In other words...
They make sure people know they exist.
The Daily Habits That Grow a Business
Inside Little Yogis Academy OS™, we encourage educators to focus on small, consistent actions rather than waiting for perfect conditions.
Every day, ask yourself:
✅ Did I post today?
✅ Did I contact one new organization?
✅ Did I follow up with a lead?
✅ Did I improve one part of my business?
✅ Did I celebrate a win?
Those five simple habits often create remarkable results over time.
Invest in Your Business Like You Believe in It
One mindset shift separates hobby businesses from thriving businesses.
Successful educators invest in their business.
That doesn't necessarily mean spending thousands of dollars overnight.
It means making thoughtful investments that help you look professional and create memorable experiences.
For example:
High-quality yoga props
Professional signage
Marketing materials
A branded website
Registration software
Great photos
Business cards
Continuing education
Every investment should help your business become easier to find, easier to book, or more enjoyable for your customers.
Think Long-Term
One of the biggest mistakes new business owners make is expecting instant success.
Building relationships with schools and childcare centres takes time.
Many organizations plan enrichment programming three to six months in advance.
That's why we encourage educators to always think one season ahead.
Want to teach fall after-school programs?
Start reaching out in the spring and summer.
Want to book March Break camps?
Begin conversations in the fall.
Consistency beats urgency.
Success Leaves Clues
Some of the most successful Little Yogis Academy educators didn't have the perfect business plan when they started.
They simply kept showing up.
They continued learning.
They marketed consistently.
They treated every class like it mattered.
And they built businesses that now make a meaningful impact in their communities.
“Kids yoga teachers can earn income through a variety of services, including childcare enrichment, school workshops, birthday parties, camps, recreation programs, and private classes. Income varies depending on pricing, location, marketing, and business goals, but educators who consistently build relationships and market their services often create flexible and rewarding businesses.”
