Classes & Workshops

This 32 hour training will help you learn how to format a children’s yoga class, teach poses that are appropriate for different age groups, learn games that help children focus and concentrate, build mindfulness to reduce stress and help children learn to self regulate behavior in addition to team building activities – skills that you can use with any group of children you work with. We will also explore the background behind trauma and educating children of trauma. This course will provide therapeutic options for children in your classes who may have experienced trauma – behaviors to look for, ways to intervene in a safe non-threatening way and tools that can help students begin to heal through movement, meditation, and nervous system regulation. Great for teachers, day care providers, home school groups, youth camp leaders and parents!
Join us for 3 days of fun! In addition, receive a 6 week lesson plan curriculum.

Beyond Asana

In this class, students will learn how the developmental stages of children affect the muscles, brain and emotions. Then we will add the trauma informed lens to this study, exploring how trauma at different developmental stages affects the child and then bringing in tools to stabilize the whole child- mind, body and spirit. Using this information, students will learn to plan appropriate classes for each age group. Students will also study the yoga sutras, chakras, mudras and the subtle body (the kosha model), learning how to integrate this knowledge to develop a balanced class including important concepts such as forgiveness, compassion and empathy.
Special guest speakers, a kirtan workshop and sound bowl healing meditation will enrich this experience.
