Empowering Educators to Teach Kids Yoga & Mindfulness

No, our Kids Yoga Teacher Training is not Yoga Alliance approved, and it doesn't need to be.

Yoga Alliance accreditation is designed primarily for adult yoga teacher training programs. Since Little Yogis Academy® specializes in teaching yoga and mindfulness to children, our training focuses on practical skills, child development, classroom management, lesson planning, storytelling, games, mindfulness activities, and age-appropriate yoga instruction.

Many of our graduates successfully teach in schools, childcares, camps, community centres, studios, and private classes without Yoga Alliance accreditation.

Absolutely!

Our training is specifically designed for educators who want to bring yoga and mindfulness into:

✔ Schools
✔ Childcare centres
✔ Preschools
✔ Camps
✔ Community centres
✔ Recreation programs
✔ Private classes
✔ Birthday parties
✔ Family programs

Many of our graduates begin teaching immediately after completing their certification.

Please note that individual schools, childcares, or organizations may have their own requirements, such as liability insurance or a vulnerable sector/criminal record check.

The training is completely self-paced.

Most students complete the certification within 2-8 weeks, depending on their schedule and availability.

Some educators finish in just a few weekends, while others take several months and work through the modules at their own pace.

You'll have ongoing access to the training materials, so you can learn when it works best for you.

Not at all!

Many of our students are:

• Teachers

• Early Childhood Educators (ECEs)

• Educational Assistants

• Child and Youth Workers

• Parents

• Therapists

• Junior-aged children

The teaching strategies can also be adapted for older children and youth.

Yes!

Upon successful completion of the training, you'll receive an official Little Yogis Academy® Kids Yoga Teacher Certification that you can use to showcase your training and qualifications.
