Our Teacher Training is a comprehensive program addressing children's holistic wellness needs. Based
in youth development principles and drawing from the Multiple Learning
Styles work of Howard Gardner and the Child Centered Learning approach
of Maria Montessori, Little Flower Yoga trains teachers to engage and
encourage all students.We now offer two ways to train. Our intensive weekend trainings, or a workshop based module approach that allows for the program to be completed at your own pace. All of our module workshops can be taken individually as continuing education, or as part of our certification program.

Teaching yoga
to children is unlike anything you are likely to have done before.
Prepare to have all your expectations about what a yoga class looks
like shattered. The children you teach, the children who teach you,
will inspire you to new levels of creativity and compel you to let go
of preconceptions and relinquish a great degree of control. They will
challenge your patience, your dedication and maybe even shake your
confidence, but they will also inspire deep joy and satisfaction.
There is
nothing quite like helping a child master a difficult balance and
knowing that her confidence and self-esteem have been strengthened
along with her legs, or watching a group of students dissolve into
giggles as they make up their own yoga poses, or seeing the shift that
occurs on a child's face when he finally release into truly nurturing
relaxation (maybe for the first time ever).
If you are interested
in teaching children yoga, incorporating yoga into your lesson plans at
school, or making yoga a part of your life with your own children, come
join us for information, inspiration and fun.
