TEACHER TRAINING
COURSE OUTLINE
Starchild Yoga™ is an education for peace, inspired by yoga and the education, and is certified by UK KYTA offering 12 CEU points. This course is recognised by Yoga-Link Insurance who acknowledges all of our certified teachers.
The vision for Starchild Yoga™ is to bring peace, inclusion and acceptance to each child who attends a class, and each adult who offers one.
This is a 50-hour course, to certify adults to teach yoga to children from ages 2 – 18. The strength of this course lies in its educational path. Students, who embark on this adventure, find themselves on an intriguing journey of self-discovery. This journey happens through the practice of yoga and meditation explored throughout the course. While learning about yoga for children, you will also experience the practice of all aspects of a yoga class, over the course of the training. This brings you to a place of self-knowledge, where you are looking within, in order to reach out and make a difference. The thread throughout the course is to learn how to deliver a yoga class that is functional and elevating, while connecting with the spirit of the child as well.
“Within the child is the person he or she will become.” Maria Montessori
