Yogiños: Yoga for Youth®’s Children’s Yoga Teacher Training Program* is presently offered online via LIVE STREAMING through July 2020! This specialized training is led by our founder, Beth Reese, PhD, E-RYT, RCYT, YACEP, and Meredith Paterson, MA, RYT, RCYT, featuring guest experts and teachers.
Foundations for Teaching Yoga to Youth and Families includes:
- Introduction to the theories and practices that serve as our foundation of teaching yoga to families and youth of all ages in a variety of settings with featured discussions that may 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, antibullying and tolerance;
- Information and opportunities about starting your own kids yoga business;

- A to Z Bilingual eBook of Poses;
- Wholesale discounts on our t-shirts, music CDs, posters, books, and stamps before and during the weekend session;
- eCommunication and OHMinar sessions with Elizabeth B. Reese, Ph.D., RYT, RCYT, and 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
- Practice and teach all 8 Limbs of Yoga, including poses (asana) and breathing (pranayama
- Understand and use age-appropriate and safe forms of yoga, including games and related activities, to engage kids physically, emotionally, and mentally
- 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.
*These online classes can be combined with past in-person Yogiños: Yoga for Youth® trainings or future in-person trainings to become eligible to be a certified RCYT. Today, we are faced with a humbling environment where we are not sure when we will be able to host in-person meetings. However, yoga and mindfulness teach us to be open to change and receptive to different ways of sharing these tools. Yogiños: Yoga for Youth®’s mission is to offer real-time tools to help counsel children and tweens toward a personal and meaningful yoga and mindfulness practice, no matter the location.
