Kids Yoga Teacher Training (Hatha-style)
Empower Children with tools and practices for cultivating contentment, emotional regulation, and self-awareness.
Yoga is a fun, practical and interactive journey that offers children an opportunity to experience and maintain real, lasting inner peace and happiness. Become trained as a Kids Yoga Teacher and play a role in positively influencing the children of today; our leaders of tomorrow!
Live to Serve Academy offers small group trainings to ensure students gain plenty of personalised feedback, complemented by ongoing mentorship to support your continual development as a Kids Yoga Teacher.
We are also one of the few trainings that focuses on teaching traditional Hatha Yoga, inclusive of Mantra Meditation. Our little yogi’s still have fun, but we give them plenty of opportunity to experience the peace and rest that slowness, simplicity and withdrawing the senses brings. Something we all need more of these days!
If you’ve ever thought about becoming a kids yoga teacher, I would strongly encourage you to do so! It’s a fun way to serve our younger generation, setting them up for a wholesome, grounded and insightful life.

Student Experience
“I recognise the knowledge and skill it takes to design and deliver a practical course like this as well as continue to support individual participants as they complete the theory online. After attending the training I feel ready to organise and teach children’s yoga classes. Of course I will do a little more practise and preparation first! You have considered and provided all of the elements needed in a neat package. This gives me the confidence to start and a process to guide me through.
You share yoga philosophy in an accessible way for children while being respectful of other people’s beliefs and traditions. This is so important and something that many individuals and organisations find difficult. In our own communities and on a global scale we need more of this, to offer spiritual values and teachings without preaching or criticising other ideas or religions.
I would recommend your course for the quality of the content and also for the person you are and the energy and passion you bring.” – Thea Saliba
