CHOOSE YOUR PATH
How old are the children that you want to work with?
We offer a modular approach to learning depending on the ages of the children or the families you want to work with. Do you want to work with young children? Or perhaps you already work with pre-teens... You can choose to invest in one module or do all three. The course content is structured in a way to not overlap, so it won’t be repetitive if you take all 3 modules.
* If you are a registered Yoga Teacher with the Yoga Alliance, you may qualify for the Kids Yoga Teacher Training certificate. Email us for more details or continue down to the FAQs for an overview of requirement information.

Would you like to have the Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT) credential from Yoga Alliance? Here’s an overview of what you need:
200-Hour Training Requirement: You must already be a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance before applying for the RCYT credential.
95-Hour Children's Yoga Training: Complete a 95-hour children's yoga teacher training program that is registered with Yoga Alliance like us at YogaBloom. This training must focus on safe, effective, and age-appropriate yoga practices for children.
Teaching Experience: After completing the 95-hour training, you need 30 hours of experience teaching yoga to children, which can include supervised teaching as part of the training.
Ethical Commitment: Like all Yoga Alliance credentials, RCYT teachers must commit to their Code of Conduct, Scope of Practice, and Yoga Alliance’s policies, focusing on ethical teaching practices and inclusivity.
These credentials are not mandatory to teach Kids Yoga Classes. However, those teachers registered as RCYT have attended relevant classes to be well-prepared to offer safe, effective and engaging classes to children.

We love kids, but plenty of the content is theoretical and not so interesting to little yogis. The general training hours are not open to child attendance.
However, we do invite your age-appropriate child or children to join you during our demonstration classes. The class attendance will be free for your child and included in your registration. Please register your child additionally (via email) for a reserved space during the demo classes.
