We are proud to have qualified over 35,000 children’s yoga teachers who are spreading yoga, love and knowledge to so many schools, families and children all around the world!
We truly believe that we are making a difference with Rainbow Kids Yoga. Through this training, we give the next generation so many opportunities that you and I might not have had – a chance to see and interact with the world in a more mindful and positive way.
The way we teach yoga to children goes beyond the physical (don’t get us wrong; we move and stretch and strengthen and balance and get fit like in no other movement-based activity!) – Rainbow Yoga is social and interactive; we use touch and massage, partner and group work, fun and games (all sprinkled with yoga and breathing), sharing, creativity and self-expression to develop self-confidence, social abilities, communication skills, tolerance, respect and understanding.
Mindfulness, breathing, concentration and meditation all work to establish a strong and positive sense of self and to improve students’ performance at school.
Fun is always a big part of our classes. Fun is a social endeavour that creates a glue that helps stick children and families together. Bullying and disrespect are a big issue that can be solved by creating a lot more opportunities for positive interaction for everyone.
Everyone knows how great yoga is! And we are here to help you learn how to make children love yoga and want to do it again and again!
To make yoga digestible to children, we spice it up with lots of interaction, fun and games, dance, music and songs, acro-balance and human pyramid and loads of cool things (all are yoga with the right attitude) depending on the age group.
And you know what? It works! And we know it because we have done it a million times ; )
Join our huge, awesome, loving and welcoming Rainbow Yoga tribe, and start making this world a better place with us today, one child at a time!
