Keep Kids Safe in Yoga: A 3-Hour Online Training for Children’s Yoga Teachers
Learn How to Prevent Injuries, Build Trust & Support Emotional Well-Being (Yoga Alliance CEUs)
"Laura has been incredibly supportive and clearly has a passion for sharing yoga with communities worldwide". - Nikki, School Teacher
There are so many things to consider when teaching children's yoga
How to engage them.
How to keep them focused.
How to manage behaviour and avoid disruptions.
How to manage your time...
But one that is SO important and often overlooked, is how to keep them safe - physically, mentally and emotionally.
In my kids classes, you will never see me teaching headstand.
You will never hear me shout.
You will never see a young child in a pose that compromises their spine or joints (because there are many).
And you will never hear a child being spoken to as if they are any less deserving of respect than any other person on the planet (even if their behaviour seems frustrating)
Keeping children safe is THE reason that I went into the work that I do.
Keeping them physically, psychologically and emotionally safe, and teaching them how to ensure that they can keep themselves safe too.
And that is a fundamental part of being a great children's yoga teacher that fully supports each child's needs.

gave one of Laura's free courses a go and I was hooked! I learned so much
