|
One question I often hear from people interested in Kids Yoga Teacher Training is: “Do I need to be flexible to become a kids yoga teacher?” The answer is — no, you don’t. Kids yoga is not about perfect poses, advanced flexibility or showing children how far you can stretch. In fact, teaching children’s yoga is so much more than yoga poses. It is about understanding children — how they move, learn, focus, express, regulate and connect at different ages and stages. A good kids yoga teacher learns how to make yoga: -age-appropriate You do not need to be the most flexible person in the room. You need to be open to learning, reflecting, being present, patient, creative and willing to support children’s well-being.
