Children's Yoga Teacher Training
Yoga Alliance Registered
(RCYT 95-Hour) Certification
Hue, Vietnam,
16-24th May 2027
An immersive training. A restorative retreat. Space for both.
Nestled in the mountains and surrounded by lush forests, natural hot springs and expansive gardens, Alba Wellness Valley is a sanctuary for learning, connection and rest. Just outside the historic city of Hue, this award-winning wellness resort blends Vietnamese tradition, nature and modern luxury - making it an extraordinary setting for our 95-Hour Children’s Yoga Teacher Training.
Over 9 immersive days, you’ll deepen your skills, build your confidence and learn practical, evidence-informed ways to support children’s development and wellbeing through yoga, meditation and mindfulness.
Our time together in Vietnam is highly experiential. You’ll take part in practical teaching workshops, demonstrations, group discussions, creative activities, partner and group work, meditation and restorative practices, teaching practice and individual feedback.
You won't simply learn about teaching children’s yoga. You’ll experience it, practice it and learn how to make it your own.
And this year, I’ve intentionally designed the training to give you something equally important: space to enjoy the experience of being here.
Before arriving in Vietnam, you’ll complete approximately 20 hours of guided online workshops and learning covering selected foundational topics that benefit from having time to absorb, reflect on and revisit.
This allows us to protect our time together for the learning that is most valuable in person, while creating a more spacious rhythm across the 9 days.
Alongside our training, you'll have time to soak in Alba’s natural hot springs, enjoy the swimming pool and spa, explore the gardens and surrounding forest, join additional yoga and meditation practices, or simply rest.
Some days will be fuller, highly interactive training days. Others will offer more space for you to integrate what you've learned and enjoy the retreat, with one complete day free in the middle of our time together.
It’s professional development without forgetting that you’ve travelled all the way to Vietnam for an experience and retreat, too.
Student Experiences
"I learned so many things about children which will help me not only in yoga but also in my day-to-day life and PE classes with my little students.
I started my social media platforms and organized sessions in my community straight after the course.
I am amazed by myself".
~ Livia, PE Teacher
Our Venue
Alba Wellness Valley
Alba Wellness Valley isn’t simply where the training takes place, it’s an integral part of the experience.
Surrounded by forest, mountains and natural hot springs, Alba gives us space to step away from everyday life and fully immerse in 9 days of learning, connection and wellbeing.
And our training schedule has been intentionally designed so that you actually have time to enjoy being here. Alongside our interactive training sessions, you’ll have spacious afternoons and a full day off to experience everything the resort has to offer. Soak in the natural hot springs and onsen spa, swim in the thermal pools, join additional yoga and meditation practices, wander through the gardens, cycle along peaceful forest paths, or simply find a quiet spot and rest.
There’s no pressure to fill every moment. The space between our sessions is part of the experience too: time to process what you’re learning, connect with the group, explore your surroundings or simply switch off.
You’re travelling to Vietnam for an immersive teacher training, but also for the rare opportunity to step away from your usual routine and give yourself the time and space to learn, reflect and restore.
This is why we’ve created space for both: a deeply practical training and a genuine retreat experience.
Throughout your stay you’ll enjoy:
-
Daily access to the hot springs + Japanese onsen
-
Movement therapies, including water meditation, pranayama, restorative yoga and walking meditation
-
Afternoon tea ceremonies, nutritious breakfast buffets, and delicious on-site dining
-
A peaceful, luxurious eco-retreat environment away from the busy tourist areas
-
Playful, meaningful and nourishing workshops with Laura during the teacher training.
This is a place where everything supports your growth, from the nurturing natural environment to the thoughtfully curated wellness offerings. Alba Wellness is, quite simply, the perfect retreat space: peaceful, rejuvenating, and deeply nurturing.
Student Experiences
" I would definitely recommend this training, it has changed my life"
~ Nikki, School Teacher
This training isn’t just a professional development course—it’s a powerful investment in yourself.
Yes, you’ll walk away with a globally recognised Yoga Alliance certificate and practical skills to confidently teach children’s yoga. But beyond that, you’ll gain your own toolkit for managing stress, reconnecting to play and supporting your own mental and emotional well-being. You’ll deepen your personal practice, reignite your creativity, and become part of an open-minded, supportive global community.
Many of our trainees say this is one of the most positive and transformational experiences they’ve ever had. It’s like a retreat, a training and a new beginning all in one.
This is a journey that nourishes you long after the plane ride home.
This training is designed for both yoga teachers who want to expand their careers into children’s yoga, as well as educators, therapists, parents and anyone passionate about sharing yoga, mindfulness, mental health and emotional well-being with children and teens. Whether you’re looking to deepen your impact, diversify your teaching, or bring meaningful well-being tools to the young people you support, this training will equip you with everything you need.
You don’t need any previous experience teaching yoga or working with children, I’ll guide you through everything step-by-step.
While many of our trainees are already yoga teachers or professionals in education and child-related fields, this course welcomes anyone with an open heart and a genuine desire to support children’s well-being.
Trainees consistently finish the training feeling confident, inspired, and ready to teach. Many arrive thinking they’ll only share yoga with their own families but leave feeling motivated and equipped to bring these practices into schools, studios, therapy settings, and their wider communities.
The 95-hour training is a globally recognised Yoga Alliance certification that gives you everything you need to teach professionally and meaningfully, anywhere in the world.
What Can You Do After Completing This Training?
One of the most exciting parts of becoming a certified Children’s Yoga Teacher is how many meaningful and creative pathways open up for you. After completing this training, you’ll be equipped to teach confidently in a wide range of settings, both locally and globally.
Graduates of our programme go on to teach in:
-
International schools & kindergartens (after-school clubs, well-being programmes, enrichment classes)
-
Yoga studios offering kids, teens, and family yoga
-
Community centres and NGO programmes supporting children
-
Early years and play-based centres
-
Therapeutic settings, working alongside counsellors, OTs, and SEN teams

Many graduates also start their own businesses, running workshops, school programmes, community classes and even dedicated children’s yoga studios.
Whether you want to expand your yoga career, bring well-being into your school, or build something entirely your own, this training and certification gives you the skills, confidence, and international credibility (Yoga Alliance RCYT 95-hour) to take your work in whatever direction feels aligned.
And because we want you to leave this training already in motion, we dedicate a full workshop at the end of training, to getting you clear, focused, and taking aligned action—so by the time you leave, you’ll have already taken confident steps toward setting up your children’s yoga classes and business before returning home.
Sample Day on Training
Early morning:
If you're an early bird, start your day cycling through the forest and surrounding greenery, or join one of Alba's morning yoga, meditation or breathwork practices. Prefer a slower start? Enjoy a quiet morning and breakfast before we begin.
Morning training:
Come together for a focused, highly interactive training session. Depending on the day, you might be exploring yoga for Early Years, Primary children or teens; practicing breathing techniques; experimenting with yoga games and storytelling. Taking part in partner work, group discussion, teaching practices and creative activities.
Our in-person sessions are designed for doing, moving, discussing, practicing and experiencing, with plenty of opportunities to ask questions, receive feedback and learn alongside a small group of like-minded teachers.
Lunch & afternoon:
On our more spacious training days, the afternoon is yours. Enjoy lunch at the resort before soaking in the natural hot springs, booking a spa treatment, swimming, cycling through the grounds, reading beside the pool or simply resting.
On selected days, we'll come back together for afternoon workshops that are particularly valuable to experience in person - restorative yoga, breathing practices, art meditation or teaching practice.
Evening:
Your evenings are your own. Visit the onsen spa and natural hot springs, join one of Alba's wellness experiences, explore the gardens and deer farm, spend time with your training group, or head back to your room for an early night.
No two days will look exactly the same. Some will be fuller training days, others will finish earlier, and you'll have one completely free day during the training.

Student Review
"I gave one of Laura's free courses a go and I was hooked! I learned so much in that 45 minutes that I couldn’t wait for more.
I completed Laura’s 95-Hour yoga course; the course was interactive, soooo informative, fun and I met the most amazing people on it.

I would highly recommend any/all of Laura’s courses, you won’t be disappointed".

Meet Laura
Founder & Lead Teacher
I’m Laura - yoga teacher, educator and founder of Divine Light Yoga, which I created over ten years ago with a vision to bring therapeutic, nurturing and truly supportive yoga to children, families, and the educators who care for them. With over 25-years of experience working with children, including my early career as an international school teacher, I bring a unique blend of educational insight, therapeutic yoga, and playful mindfulness into everything I offer.
I now live in Hong Kong, leading my yoga studio Wildflower Well-Being, though my work has taken me across the world, leading trainings, collaborating with schools, and supporting educators across Asia, Europe, and beyond. My approach is practical, evidence-based, designed to be both effortless to use and deeply impactful. At the heart of everything I teach is a commitment to holistic, compassionate care, combining therapeutic techniques, creative movement, and emotional support in a way that feels accessible, playful and profoundly nurturing.
Whether I’m mentoring teachers, leading a workshop or creating new resources, my mission remains the same: to support others in sharing yoga in a way that’s authentic, mindful, and truly child-centred.
