The Youth Yoga Toolkit course is the perfect introduction to teaching yoga and mindfulness to young people. There is so much benefit to sharing these practices with young people, whether it be for 5 minutes at the beginning of a youth group or 60 minutes as a dedicated class. This self paced course is suitable for yoga teachers and youth professionals/teachers with yoga experience, helping you to gain some tools to build into the yoga studio, classroom or youth group setting.
Learn in your own time and pace, with support from Nathalie whenever you need it. The course includes a downloadable training manual and teaching materials with instructional videos.
