This program gets rave reviews
Deborah J. Chadsey shares:
"I took the course in advance of my Studio opening a Kids Yoga Program. I had taken a teacher certification in Kids Yoga a couple years ago but this course was so much more indepth that the training provided was night and day compared to my earlier training. I really felt both prepared and energized to take on designing the Kids Yoga Program at our studio! Christine is a most wonderful teacher and human. I have learned so much, not only about teaching children, but about the science behind all of the things we believe are true but maybe could not have articulated. Her wisdom is priceless."
Marie Coleman writes:
"The content of this training was exemplary! Although I am still processing some of the information, I look back with amazement at the diversity and scope of the modules. I was especially attracted to some of the specific adaptations used in children's yoga (i.e., manipulatives, books, exploration corners, etc) as that built on my prior knowledge of teaching. However I am still intrigued with the biomechanics aspects of the bowstring method of asanas and continue to ponder the long-lasting benefits for children and adults alike. Although I may not ever teach a formal class/program of yoga to children, I am definitely nourished with information and contemplation for future opportunities. The content invites reflection in to one's own yoga and as I think about the unification of body, mind and heart, I have changed up some of my asanas as well as my view of the world. Seeing/thinking about the perspective of today's children is critical for helping guide them through the challenges of today and tomorrow. Resilience and learning how to cope with "reality" as well as empowering them to take responsibility for creating their own futures is a major theme and one I embrace whole-heartedly. I will be sharing much of what I learned with other yoga teachers (and encouraging them to explore children's yoga more) as well as with parents. There is great opportunity here to embed the positives of yoga into our chaotic world."
Miranda Olberg says:
"From this kids teacher training, I developed a much more well-rounded view of what it means to do "mindfulness" with children. I've worked with youth of all ages, and tried to implement yoga and mindfulness into a curriculum, but didn't have much success until I did this training. I realized that "doing mindfulness" with children is a fluid, constant endeavor! I realize now that we as teachers must first figure out how to best embody yoga for ourselves if we can expect to transfer what we know to our students. I feel so much more confident in myself in more ways than I expected having the knowledge that Christine imparted."
Renee Evans writes:
"The information presented in this course is the medicine the world desperately needs. This course takes you beyond the poses and sequences and teaches how to connect, grow, and make a positive impact on children and families. Christine is extremely knowledgeable, experienced, and passionate about yoga with kids. She demonstrates games, activities, and songs appropriate for different age groups to cultivate emotional intelligence, spirituality, and physical and functional health. She truly unites the mind-body-heart connections in all of her teachings."
Valentina Prati shares:
"Christine is a great teacher! I really enjoyed putting into practice the visualizations. I realized the tremendous effect and power they have on us humans to rewire our brain for joy, healing and for our overall well-being. This training gave me confidence to create visualizations according to specific goals and themes and to apply them into my own life and future yoga lessons for kids. I learned the ideal postures for kids and teens, which are not the same asanas for adults in a classical yoga class. I learned a lot from Christine and she gave us wonderful feedback! "
Ane Pagola shares:
"This training has changed my life. Apart from learning a lot about yoga for children, you learn a lot of tools and skills for life. I started meditating a lot and living more in the present, two things I needed to introduce into my life before starting my own kids yoga teaching project. It also inspired me to believe in myself. Christine is an incredible woman, sharing her knowledge with others in a way that is so precious to me! All of the modules are so interesting and helpful for new yoga teachers for kids."
Lisa Shelby writes:
"Christine just opened up a whole new way of looking at life really. The knowledge I gained from her about children's yoga has definitely leaked into my adult classes, as well. She has a joy for life that you can't help but feel and reciprocate."
