Written by yoga seniors, occupational therapists and teachers, this inspirational ‘Imagination Central’ kids yoga course will teach you everything you need to begin, and enjoy, a successful career and business teaching toddler/children's yoga. Or, it will equip you to begin teaching yoga, breathwork and mindfulness straight away in your school, nursery, local social or educational framework.
The training covers a wide age range of children, from tots to tweens and will give you a solid understanding of anatomy, physiology, breathwork, mindfulness and asana practise. This training covers children age 2 - 11 and is perfect for preschool, infant and primary schools, local communities and positive thinking parents.
Good Practice – the experience of exploring children’s yoga. Children’s yoga has to be fun, co-creative, full of adventure and story-telling, it needs boundaries, and safety, and involves community and togetherness. We need to think about the difference in the ages we teach in terms of enjoyment, catching imaginations, curriculum, and safety for growing energetic bodies.
Anatomy and physiology – teaching a safe class. Development, adaptations, and contraindications, what’s happening throughout growth and what this means for your yoga instruction. With our Children’s Occupational Therapist contributing to the content, this course is great for developing gross-motor skills, fine-motor skills and core stability, helpful for children when in the classroom. We also focus on proprioceptive exercise which reassures the nervous system, this has a calming effect on the body and mind.
Neurodiverse Children - these practices are great for all children, including those needing particular attention to reassuring the nervous system and sensory systems. There are many studies which show how proprioceptive exercise like yoga, breathwork and mindfulness can really help stabilise and calm children on the spectrum.
Getting Practical – We will teach you stacks of content! Including proprioceptive power, yoga bursts, asana games, imagination station, mindful moments and guided relaxation for chilled out kids.
toddler to tween
Teaching methodology and structure – the building blocks of every class. Specialising yoga to the needs of young people, including mindful moments, appropriate safe and fun asana, playing with pranayama and specialist and imaginative shavasana. We need to teach the full range of yoga asanas appropriate for each child’s age and encourage the benefits in a fun and inspirational way. Includes a downloadable manual full of children's yoga postures and games, mindful moments and guided meditations for children.

As a parent of two children, I think ZenKids is a great idea. My daughter Flo is only 5, but already does yoga at school and loves it. As parents we are so focused on our kids numeracy and literacy skills, but yoga uses mind and body like nothing else and I think it’s fantastic...whatever your age
