TEACHER TRAINING

"Children are the world's most valuable resource and its best hope for the future."
~ John F. Kennedy
The Yoga Therapy for Youth Foundations 100-hour Teacher Training is a foundational training in therapeutic approaches to support children and youth ages 5-17 with emotional, physical and mental health and well-being.
​
Children today are over-scheduled, over-stressed and over-stimulated. When given the proper tools and coping skills to manage stress, children can thrive physically, socially, emotionally and academically.
​
Research has shown that the practice of yoga & mindfulness for children and youth can increase self-awareness and self-regulation, increase attention, support more positive social relationships with self and others, decrease anxiety and improve
behaviors.
​
In addiiton, studies have shown that yoga, pranayama and meditation improves digestion, supports better sleep, strengthens the immune system, increases cardiovascular health, strengthens the lymphatic system and improves overall strength, flexibility, stamina & endurance.
​
Participants who complete this training will receive a Certificate of Completion in 100-hours training in Yoga Therapy for Youth.
​
*Please note: 800 hours + in an IAYT Accredited Yoga Therapy Program is required in order to be a "Certified Yoga Therapist". This training offers therapeutic approaches to working with a wide range of youth, however it does not equal being a Certified Yoga Therapist upon completion.
Participants who have completed the Asanas for Autism and Special Needs Level 1 and Level 2 Trainings, will receive a 200-hour Yoga for Children and Youth with Complex Needs Certification through Asanas for Autism and Special Needs (with the completion of a final 5 hour Course requirement).
This course is an APD course through International Association of Yoga Therapists and counts as 80 CEU's.
