About the Course:
Be prepared to have all of your ideas of a "typical yoga class"
blown away! Kids yoga is an everyday adventure into the
hearts, minds, and imaginations of children.

*Prior yoga teacher certifications are not required for this
course, however some basic experience with yoga is
extremely helpful.  The only requirement is that you come
with an open mind and heart to learn the
magic of children's yoga.

If you plan on using this training in the general public, we at
Kidding Around Yoga highly recommend that you pursue a
yoga teaching certificate at a qualified yoga school of your
choice.

The Kidding Around approach uses a combination of
behavioral development principles, animated poses,
nurturing relaxation techniques, and powerful meditation
activities to give children a well balanced yoga experience
with every class. Even if you are interested in this course
just to be able to spend more quality time with your kids
teaching them yoga and watching them grow from all of the
wonderful benefits, than this course is perfect.  

Get ready to slither around like snakes, bark in downward
dog, laugh hysterically, and dance your yogi toes off!  Come
join us to do some serious (or not so serious)
