KIDS YOGA Teacher
Foundation Training
Strong Self. Strong Children. Strong World.
To truly connect with children, we must first develop the ability to open ourselves to the present moment, let happen what wants to happen, and play with the instant as if it were the only one that mattered.
Many adults have forgotten how to play, yet it is play that makes us happy, free, and alive.
What to expect in this training:
- Why Kids Yoga is vital for physical, emotional, and spiritual development.
- What children of today truly need for a powerful life.
- What you need to teach beautiful Kids Yoga classes.
How do we teach yoga for today’s child? Which breathing, concentration, and strengthening exercises can we offer, and how do we combine tradition and modernity for life-oriented yoga?
These and many other topics await you in the Kids Yoga Teacher Foundation Training.
Today´s children are tomorrow's adults!
Perhaps you also notice that children in our current education system cannot always unfold as freely as we would wish. There is little room for creativity and imagination; instead, performance pressure and "fitting into the system" take center stage.
How can we counteract this? How can we strengthen a child's natural enthusiasm and curiosity for discovery?
The answer is: Kids Yoga.
Back to Inner Peace and Serenity
In our digitalized world, children come into contact with smartphones, tablets, and PCs at an early age. Due to the abundance of information, technology, and consumption, they find little time outside of kindergarten and school to simply be with themselves. Therefore, it is important to provide balance. Kids Yoga is particularly well-suited for this. Through various movement and relaxation exercises, children can reduce stress, find inner peace, and learn to handle their emotions better. Especially for school-aged children, concentration is strengthened and self-esteem is boosted.
The more we ensure their well-being on all levels today, the more we contribute to making the world a little better tomorrow.
Use Your Individual Strengths!
In this foundation training, you will also meet yourself anew. You will sing, dance, relax, and challenge your muscles. You will gain a sense of what yoga means to you and receive numerous tools to inspire children in their development. The greatest gift we can give one another is to invite and encourage each other to stand on this earth with all our strength and express it.
Die Practice
The entire foundation training is primarily practice-oriented. We begin and end each day with an exemplary Kids Yoga class to give you inspiration and examples. This is followed by an evaluation and explanation round, and then a theoretical part. During the practical hours, techniques for warming up, body strengthening, stretching, awareness, breathing, and relaxation are taught. The focus is on sharing a vast treasure trove of exercises, games, and ideas for your own teaching.
Die Theory
The theory consists of basic knowledge of yoga in general and the specific aspects of Kids Yoga, as well as the methodological and pedagogical foundations for leading a Kids Yoga class.
