Do I need to bring any equipment?
All equipment is provided at the studio so all you need to bring is yourselves, a bottle of water, notebook and pens and some snacks if you wish to!
Do I need to be a qualified yoga teacher ?
No. We find people who make the best children’s yoga teachers are those who are passionate about their own yoga practice and love working with children. Some of our graduates are yoga teachers for adults, whilst others are parents or school teachers.

Yay, congratulations on becoming a kids yoga teacher with us!! After the training you will receive a certificate you can use to obtain insurance. Then you're ready to start teaching and become positive impacts for children!

Alternatively the nearest car park to BSY that has no limit on the time you can stay is St James Barton, approximately 5 minutes walk from the school.

Can I do the children’s yoga teacher training course with little/no teaching experience?
You do not need previous experience of teaching children to undertake our training course. All we ask is that you have some yoga experience and some experience of working with children.

No - This course is for anyone who loves working with kids, or loves yoga. It is for yoga teachers wanting to diversify, for educators wanting to bring the benefits of yoga to their classrooms.
