What Trainees Have Said…
“This was a great learning session! There are so many ideas you have shared that I feel very well prepared to deliver kids yoga. Great ideas for class structuring. Endless ideas for yoga poses and keeping kids engaged. Thanks for all of your enthusiasm and encouragement!”
“I just wanted to thank you so much for the kids yoga teacher training! I truly love children but had some "blocks" that were preventing me from eliminating my fears about working with them (they won't like me, they won't think my chosen activities are fun, they'll get bored quickly, I"m too nurturing instead of fun, etc.). As a child, I was bullied for years by teammates (who later apologized and admitted they were jealous of my skill level adn wanted to destroy my confidence) who successfully put me in this space full of insecurities and self-doubt. I am happy to say that your training, by allowing us to be child-like, really helped me remove some of these blocks and have a newfound "brightness" to life. Truly, just thank you again for coming with open acceptance and a contagious free spirit!”
“A very comprehensive and informative training.
Great energy, great ideas and great fun! All of your information was so valuable. The overall presentation was perfect because we were able to practice while we learned. I definately feel confident and and enthusiastic about teaching and spreading yoga to kids. Thank you for all the fun ideas! I feel blessed to have been part of this training and have greatly benefited from your shared knowledge.”
“Truly inspiring training workshop! Your ideas are so creative -
I can't wait to share them with children!”
“Very wonderfully creative ideas and very imaginative -
all different ways to do all the animals, insects, objects, etc. I now feel ready and confident to teach classes! Thanks for sharing your experiences, too, it really helps!”
“The teacher training was nothing short of fabulous!
Shari was eager and generous in sharing her love of yoga for children. Each pose was described and facilitated in a thorough and easy way.Thanks so much for guiding me into the magical world of yoga for kids - I'm so excited to start teaching! Karma Kids Yoga Rocks!”
