Teach Yoga & Mindfulness at School - Age 4-11 Educator CPD

Feel calm, confident and competent to teach the most suitable type of yoga at school - to your children aged 4 - 11 - to benefit their mental, emotional and physical wellbeing (and yours too!).

Teach Yoga & Mindfulness to Children at School is a 4 week online training course, led by Class Yoga Founder Helen Clare, that enables school teachers, with any level of prior experience, to start sharing the incredible benefits of yoga and mindfulness with pupils.

If you’re ready to learn a method of teaching yoga, that has proven results of increased:

calm,

focus,

confidence,

happiness

and attainment in the classroom and throughout the whole school environment - then we're excited to share this course with you!

“After an amazing experience on the Class Yoga Training, I started teaching yoga to my class at least twice a week, alongside using the Class Yoga videos. I’ve also been teaching other classes in school and got the rest of staff on board with doing your daily yoga videos. It’s had a transformative effect on the school as a whole and has clearly boosted the confidence, concentration and self-esteem of many individuals. Our school, Camelford have now won the Physical Activity, Health and Wellbeing Time 2 Move Ambition 2018, and are shortlisted for CAPH Time 2 Move Primary School of the Year Award, and the introduction of yoga across the school absolutely contributed to that.”

What is yoga and why should I be practising and teaching it?

... yoga is mindful movement that, when taught and practised correctly, has many, many benefits on psychological and physical health - for adults and children!

As you know, it involves:

Strength, coordination, confidence and concentration enhancing movements and poses
Posture improving, mind calming, focusing and anxiety reducing breathing exercises
Body and mind relaxation

But that's just the start!

Through movement and breath work it's much, much easier for children (and adults!) to practise being 'mindful', and benefit from feeling calm, present and non-reactive more of the time.

But as well as feeling calm and content, mindfulness develops executive brain function, empathy, resilience and social skills.

Who wouldn't want to facilitate that for young people?!

“After finishing the Class Yoga Kids Training course, I was keen to get started in school straight away, so letters went home to explain the benefits! It was a hit from the start, and being a boy heavy Year 5 group, it was great to see their involvement in everything we did. We had a session a week, which really helped develop my confidence and practise keeping the flow of the lessons going. My super parallel class teacher was fully on board and I taught her class a couple of sessions too. Some children began asking when the next session was! It was also nice to see girls, who were slightly reluctant to join in team sports lessons, really enjoying it and taking part.Thank you to Helen and Class Yoga for starting me on this new journey.”
