Light Leaders Teachers Training

THANK YOU to our July group of teachers for making our very 1st class such a success!

Light Leaders is a 27 hour Yoga certification for teachers of children ages 3 - 12 years old. We cover the basics of Yoga and how you can apply Yogic practices when working with groups of children. You will learn techniques to guide children to new levels of health, fitness, relaxation and awareness. We uncover the exciting possibilities of Yoga on fun and educational journeys into our bodies and hearts. Guided by their imaginations, breath, and postures, Yoga students learn new vocabulary, develop motor and movement skills, and understand balance and relaxation through meditation and breathing techniques.

Yoga adventure stories, songs, and Animal postures help us to learn how to build focus, strength, and flexibility while being silly. Partner poses and group meditations are demonstrated to encourage children to practice teamwork and trust with siblings, friends, and classmates. Yoga and meditation are some of the best tools we have available to address confidence-building, concentration, self-discipline and respect.

Today, the doors are opening – from public and private schools to community centers, Children’s Homes, Sunday Schools, to juvenile detention and rehab centers. And now, with concrete evidence that yoga and meditation taught in schools helps improve students’ performance on multi-levels, the need for yoga teachers will only increase. Whether you decide to incorporate a Yoga to warm up into your grade school class, the morning, or help little ones cool down before bed, these techniques can fit in almost anywhere.

With yoga entering the mainstream, there has been a rapidly growing demand for solid, experienced and devoted yoga teachers. From preschool age to middle school and up, the demand outreaches the supply. We have been privileged to be on the front lines of this yogic youth explosion and our collective experience and success in teaching children’s yoga in a wide range of settings has inspired us to Pass It On! We have seen the effects this powerful yoga has on our students and we strongly believe it is our obligation to spread forth the teachings and techniques we know to help others create healing communities for young generations across the world. The Light Leaders® Teachers Training Program offers a rich, comprehensive and fun curriculum including ice breaker/brain games, yoga sets, improv exercises, and a wealth of expert information, guidance and sage advice via our personal experience. Join us for a heart-opening journey into the word of our own childhood innocence.
