YTTC Yoga for Kids Training
16/17th of October and 6/7 November 2010,
Having qualified from both the YogaBugs and Radiant Child teacher training, Ger has taught both styles and her teacher training programme draws from her own personal experience of working with children of all ages both off-site and in her studio.
Ger believes that in today’s world where children are under so many external influences and growing up faster than ever, yoga provides a space to have fun and get to know themselves as well as interact socially with other children their own age in a non-competitive way.
Children bring such openness to class that as a teacher it is very rewarding when you see how naturally enthusiastic they are about yoga. Yoga for children classes allow children to tap into their natural abilities and energy resources to gain strength, improve concentration, and become more aware of their bodies
A children’s yoga teacher plays an important role in building self-esteem and confidence in children as well as helping to keep them fit and maintain natural flexibility.
As a teacher you need to be able to translate your yoga knowledge and experience and channel it in a way that is imaginative and appeals to a child’s sense of creativity.
The YTTC Yoga for children training course teaches how to use what you already know as well as add new concepts and ideas to lead your own children’s yoga classes.
Teaching children brings out the child in you and the course will involve practical sessions to help you prepare classes from toddlers to teens using stories, games, partner-work, chanting and song. The course will also address class management, discipline, and special needs and give you the skills to branch into a new area of yoga instruction.
