These mini yogis teacher trainings will give you all the tools you need to create your own yoga program for children. Through the use of themes, games, music, books, and other props, we will transform traditional practice into a creative, stimulating, and—most importantly—FUN yoga experience for kids.

We will delve deep into the world of interactive asana and movement, and cover yoga fundamentals such as philosophy, breathing, and relaxation. You will experience a one-hour mini yogis yoga for kids class, and learn how to design empowering kid-specific practices that encourage children to be strong, self-confident, and healthy in mind, body, and spirit.

If you are interested in hosting or participating in an upcoming training, please e-mail Shana at shana@miniyogis.com, or call her at 310.478.2266 for more information.

These teacher trainings are designed for people who already practice yoga and are familiar with the various asana. You don’t have to be a teacher or an expert, but please make sure that you have taken at least 10 classes in the past three months before enrolling in the course. The more knowledge you bring in, the more you'll get out.

Certification will be earned upon completion. Please note that mini yogis certification is a prerequisite to teach for the mini yogis program.
