Foundations: Introduction to Yoga for Youth and Families
- Introduction to the theories and practices that serve as our foundation of teaching yoga and mindfulness to families and youth of all ages in a variety of settings—online and in-person—with featured discussions that will include research-based age development, neuroscience, social media, implicit bias, inclusion, equity, diversity and race;
- Weekend of transformational demonstrations, discussions and activities with your friends, colleagues, and Yogiños Leaders;
- Interactive experiences facilitating and demonstrating team-building, cooperation, anti-bullying and tolerance;
- Information and opportunities about starting your own kids yoga business, online and in-person;
- Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® Curriculum eManual with educational and yoga philosophies, trilingual charts, class ideas, basic pose lists, instructions and information designed specifically for youth of all abilities and needs;

- Wholesale discounts on our t-shirts, music CDs, posters, and books before and during the training;
- eCommunication sessions with Elizabeth B. Reese, Ph.D., RYT, RCYT, and/or Yogiños Leaders
As a result of this program, we believe participants will be able to:
- Conceive, design and teach an OHMazing® theme-based Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® kids yoga class online and in-person
- Practice and teach all 8 Limbs of Yoga, including poses (asana) and breathing (pranayama)
- Practice and teach mindfulness
- Understand and use age-appropriate and safe forms of yoga, including games and related activities, to engage kids physically, emotionally, and cognitively
- Modify lessons for various audiences and age groups
- Learn, practice and weave multiple languages and intelligences into your yoga for kids class
Use yoga for kids as a means to teach tools and techniques to empower youth and adults who work with them to disrupt habitual reactions and instead curate compassionate responses.
