This training is for anyone who feels called to support children with compassion, clarity, and trauma-informed care. It’s especially valuable for Yoga Teachers, School teachers and classroom aides, Mental health and social-emotional learning professionals, Childcare providers, librarians, and community leaders, Parents and caregivers.

This workshop is designed to give you practical, trauma-informed tools that create safer, more supportive experiences for the children you serve. Children discover that mindfulness doesn’t need to be quiet or rigid—it can be joyful, creative, and full of playful exploration.

Teaching Methodology

Our workshops include a lecture and lab component to ensure you have time to apply what we are learning. Additional online resources provided.

Lecture:

• Trauma-informed class design: predictability, transitions, consent

• Language strategies: invitational cues, options, autonomy

• Classroom management through connection, not correction

Lab:

• Teaching pair work: cueing, pacing, sequencing

• Role-play: responding to common classroom challenges

• Practicing inclusive, choice-based adjustments

One of the most important shifts in teaching children’s yoga is moving from a performance-based model to a relationship-based one. Children learn best when they feel safe, seen, and supported. This training shows you how to build that environment through predictable class structures, rhythmic movement, compassionate language, and developmentally appropriate practices.
