Student Review
If you’ve ever wondered…
-
How do I manage kids behaviour?
-
What do I do when a child melts down, refuses to participate or disrupts the class?
-
How do I help children regulate big emotions and energy?
-
How do I make yoga classes fun, engaging and meaningful - not boring or awkward?
-
What language, guidance and cues actually work for different age groups?
-
How do I keep kids focused without forcing stillness or silence?
-
How do I design classes that fit into school settings, after-school clubs, or community spaces?
-
How do I teach safely, age-appropriately and creatively — and feel confident doing it?
You are not alone — and this training was created to answer exactly these questions and so much more.
What Makes This Online Children's Yoga Teacher Training Different?
This is not a course where you just watch videos and tick off a checklist.
This is not a training built around collecting yoga poses, breathing exercises and themed activities.
It’s a comprehensive professional development experience for those who want to understand how to teach children’s yoga, mindfulness and wellbeing practices in ways that are safe, meaningful, engaging and genuinely beneficial for children and teenagers.
Built on over 25 years of experience working with children and young people, this training brings together educational principles, yoga traditions and wellbeing science to help you become the kind of teacher children truly need. Because teaching children’s yoga well requires far more than creativity and enthusiasm.
It requires an understanding of:
-
How children grow, learn and regulate
-
How to create emotional, psychological and physical safety
-
How to support behaviour and group dynamics with confidence
-
How to adapt practices for different ages, personalities, learning needs and developmental stages
-
How to teach in ways that are playful and engaging, while still being purposeful, grounded, developmentally appropriate and rooted in yoga practices
This is the difference between simply leading activities… and becoming a confident, skilled teacher who can make a genuine impact on children’s wellbeing.
Inside this training, you won’t just learn what to teach. You’ll learn how to:
-
Teach yoga, mindfulness and wellbeing practices in ways children actually understand and respond to
-
Confidently support children and teen’s emotional wellbeing, regulation, focus, resilience and mental health
-
Create classes that are engaging, safe and responsive to the children in front of you
-
Adapt your teaching for younger children, teenagers, neurodiverse learners and different sized groups
-
Combine movement, relaxation, breathwork, mindfulness, meditation, storytelling, creativity, music, life skills and teaching methodology to lead meaningful and valuable experiences for children
-
Move beyond “fun activities”to teach with real intention, depth and confidence
Rather than memorising scripts or following a one-size-fits-all formula, you’ll be guided to develop a much deeper understanding of children, teaching and yoga traditions, so that you can respond in the moment, trust your instincts and teach with clarity.

- Alison, Parent
As an experienced Early Years Educator, I’ve created this course with you in mind - parents, teachers, and educational professionals who are juggling big responsibilities and precious little time, but who care deeply about supporting the children in their lives.
This isn’t a boring, theory-heavy training packed with slides and no real-world application. Instead, this is a refreshing, interactive and uplifting experience — an online course that’s designed to be fun, practical, and full of heart.
You’ll be joining a supportive community of like-minded individuals, sharing stories, asking questions, and learning together in a space that feels nurturing and inspiring.
Expect hands-on learning, playful techniques, and tools you can use straight away — all while feeling connected, encouraged and energised in your work with children.
Many of my students say that this training becomes one of the highlights of their year - a truly positive, empowering learning experience that stays with them long after the course ends.
Who is This Teacher Training For?
This training is ideal for:
-
Teachers and educators
-
Yoga teachers wanting to specialise in children’s yoga
-
Parents wanting deeper understanding of regulation and movement
-
Therapists and well-being practitioners
-
Anyone passionate about supporting children’s emotional and physical well-being
No previous experience in yoga or teaching is required.
Beginner-friendly and inclusive.
A Guided Learning Experience
Designed for deep understanding, not simply completing another online course.
This isn't a self-study course where you're left to work everything out on your own.
Instead, you'll move through the training as part of a supported learning journey, giving you the time to reflect, practice, ask questions and gradually build your confidence.
Each month you'll deepen your understanding while developing practical teaching skills you can immediately begin using with children.
Throughout the training you'll experience:
-
One carefully structured module released each month, allowing time for meaningful learning and reflection.
-
Experiential workshops that help you embody the practices before sharing them with children.
-
Evidence-informed teaching combining educational principles, yoga traditions and wellbeing science.
-
Practical teaching methodology, including communication, behaviour support, co-regulation, child development and adapting for different ages and learning needs.
-
Real-world application, with opportunities to observe, reflect, plan and (if you'd like) practice teaching in a supportive environment.
-
Live community sessions, including opening, integration and celebration calls, alongside additional workshops throughout the programme.
-
Direct access to me for guidance, questions and ongoing support as your confidence grows.
-
A supportive international community of educators, yoga teachers, therapists and wellbeing practitioners who are passionate about making a positive difference in children's lives.
Rather than feeling overwhelmed by endless content, you'll gradually build the knowledge, confidence and teaching skills to become the kind of adult every child deserves to learn from.
Learn Through Experience, Not Just Information
This training has been intentionally designed to feel both deeply supportive and highly practical. It blends science-informed education with heart-led practice and real-life teaching experiences.
You’ll be guided to:
-
Experience the practices in your own body
-
Understand the nervous system, child development and learning foundations
-
Explore creativity, play and personal teaching style
-
Apply tools directly to real teaching situations
Learning happens through movement, reflection, application and connection — not just note-taking.
Flexible Learning That Fits Real Life
All training content is self-paced within each monthly release, allowing you to:
-
Learn in your own time zone
-
Balance training with work and family life
-
Move through content at a supportive, sustainable pace
There is no pressure to “keep up” — the structure is designed to support depth, not speed.
Purpose-built for online learning - without losing depth, connection or support
It’s a purpose-built online experience designed to support real learning, real reflection and real confidence-building from wherever you are in the world.
Because group sizes are intentionally kept small, you won’t feel like just another name on a screen. You’ll receive direct support from Laura, opportunities to ask questions and explore your own teaching, and the encouragement of a connected community of people who care deeply about children’s wellbeing too.
You’ll receive:
-
Direct guidance and mentorship from Laura
-
Live group support sessions
-
Opportunities to ask questions and reflect inside our community space on the learning platform
-
Community connection with other trainees
You’re not doing this alone — you’re learning inside a supportive professional community.
A Positive, Nourishing Learning Experience
You’re not just gaining a certification — you’re building confidence, creativity and a deeper understanding of how to work with children in meaningful ways.

Student Review
"The experience was fantastic. As a registered psychologist, I am expected to regularly attend continuing professional development training and as such, have spent thousands of Dollars and hours in many different workshops and training - both personal and professional.
I can honestly say that the learning, the inspiration, and the community that I have made on this training has been of the most personally fulfilling of any of the training I have ever done.
The training is part theory, part experiential, part philosophical, part heart-felt, part mindful and wrapped up in a business model. Be prepared to move, dance, laugh and cry".

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.
