OM Schooled
Kids Yoga Teacher Training, with an emphasis on teaching in schools
How does yoga help kids? How specifically does it help kids in school?
Yoga Helps Kids to:
- Build focus and concentration
- Reduce academic anxiety and enhance performance
- Release fidgety, disruptive energy
- Feel successful by addressing multiple learning styles
- Self-soothe in moments of conflict
- Alleviate physical tension and stress
- Plant seeds for a lifetime of wellness!
While we have a special emphasis on teaching in the classroom environment, this training will provide you with necessary tools to lead a kids yoga class in a studio, school or privately.
This is comprehensive course and is therefore physically intense. It requires you to participate at your level of physical ability and is recommended that participants have a basic working knowledge and understanding of yoga, as well as their own yoga practice.
