Become the Calm, Confident Kids Yoga Teacher Every Child Needs

A complete certification + support system to help you confidently teach yoga, manage behavior, and integrate mindfulness — without guessing, overplanning, or burning out.

Today, kids are more stressed and less active. It’s like they’ve forgotten how to play!

  • Are you struggling to find effective ways to reduce stress and anxiety in children?
  • Do you seek methods to motivate kids towards more physical activity in their daily lives?
  • Are you facing challenges in teaching kids how to interact and communicate effectively with their peers?
  • Have you been searching for strategies to improve focus and mindfulness in children who are easily distracted?
  • Do you need to learn these strategies from the comfort of your home with the limited time you have in your busy schedule?

Have you struggled to teach yoga and mindfulness to kids?

1

You struggle to find lesson plans that consistently work to keep kids engaged

  • Sure, there are tons of free ideas online, but they all have different outlines, methods, and not enough information on HOW to teach them successfully.
  • You’re spending too much money buying different lesson plans for various age groups, that don’t adapt well, and are only short term fixes.
  • Its exhausting to try to keep coming up with new and interesting content for your students.

2

Classroom management is terrifying and you worry about it getting out of control

  • Kids are tough to manage in groups, and when you add in movement, play, and excitement, you worry about their safety and your ability to help keep them doing the right thing.
  • Dealing with kids’ big emotions, reactions, and inability to emotionally regulate is taking up your entire class time. You don’t know how to help them and the other kids miss out on valuable lesson time.
  • Your kids or students don’t listen, talk over you, or just sit and don’t participate at all.

3

Mindfulness is an afterthought, even though you know it should be an integral part of the lessons and your day with kids

  • Your kids can’t sit still for mindfulness, and it’s impossible to keep them quiet for savasana at the end of class.
  • Adding in mindfulness lessons takes too long and doesn’t have the impact you hoped on their ability to manage their emotions access self control.
  • You’re exhausted just doing yoga with them and can’t figure out how to teach mindfulness, too.

4

You just don’t know where to start

  • You have some basic knowledge of yoga or you’ve taught to adults, but you’re not sure how to get started with kids.
  • You have a class or kids eager to try, but have no idea how to fit yoga and mindfulness into your schedule.
  • You took a kids yoga teacher training already but still feel overwhelmed and underprepared to get started, anywhere!

I enjoyed this course so much as I learned in detail how to teach kids not just in a classroom but in many settings. Great detail was outlined about behaviors a teacher may encounter when teaching kids. The way everything was presented was so clear and thoughtfully done. I so much enjoyed this course, as I came away with much more than the poses of yoga but also brought to light my confidence in teaching to kids.

I absolutely LOVE this course… It blows away the other kid’s yoga training I took by leaps and bounds.

What I really loved about this class was that the yoga was secondary to the children. Best practices for children were always the focus. The classes were organized well and easy to follow. And Maia is wonderfully generous with ideas and materials – thank you!

I’ve been following Kumarah Yoga and Mindfulness for almost 2 years now and I have always appreciated her down-to-earth tips and advice. Loved feeling my progress in teaching yoga to kids while taking this course. I felt this course offered many areas of teaching to kids that I hadn’t thought of and so it was great to have those angles covered. Sincerely appreciated this course and recommended it to anyone looking to start or improve their teaching yoga to kids. Working at my own pace was a delight.

Why This Training Is Different

Why this training works when others don’t

Many trainings leave you feeling inspired… but still unsure how to actually teach. This one is different because:

  • It’s built from real classroom experience, not just theory
  • You get plug-and-play tools, not just concepts
  • You’re supported by a real community of educators
  • You learn how to handle behavior — not avoid it

I really appreciated how comprehensive the Kumarah Yoga Teacher Training was! Maia made sure to leave no stone unturned, from basic history and anatomy/physiology, to yoga poses and flows and scripts, to classroom management tips. Her weekly Zoom meetings helped to keep me accountable and reach my personal goals. I felt incredibly prepared to go in and teach my first class.

FAQs

You’ll get instant access to the certification materials as soon as you enroll, so you can start right away and move through the training at your own pace.

Your access and level of support inside the community depends on your certification tier:

  • Core Certification: Ongoing access to the course and core spaces, including recorded trainings and resources
  • Certification plus Community: Includes live monthly calls and full access to community support spaces and replays
  • Premium Coaching Certification: Includes everything above, plus more personalized guidance and mentorship with a schedule that works for both of us

You’ll have lifetime access to the course materials, and you can log in anytime from your computer or phone.

The certification is primarily self-paced, so you can start anytime, move at your own speed, and revisit the materials whenever you need.

Your level of live support depends on your tier:

  • Core Certification: Fully self-paced with access to recorded support inside the community
  • Certification plus Community: Includes live monthly Zoom calls (recordings available if you can’t attend)
  • Premium Coaching Certification: Includes live calls plus personalized feedback and deeper mentorship

No matter which option you choose, you’ll have the flexibility to learn on your schedule — with support available if you want it.

The course is designed for anyone who wants to teach kids yoga or mindfulness (or both!) to groups of kids. You can be a teacher in a school, a yoga teacher in a studio, a librarian, a social worker, a partner volunteer, ANYONE who works with kids!

There are also PLENTY of materials and ideas for parents who want to teach their kids yoga at home, and for social workers or teaching assistants who work with kids one on one.

Many of the activities work for small groups and pairs just as well as larger groups.

Yes! Once you complete the course, videos, quizzes, and a few other tasks if you are in the Coaching tier, then you will be eligible to earn your certification. You will get 30 hours of CEU’s with the Core Certification, and up to 45 hours if you choose the Coaching tier.

This will show that you completed a comprehensive and rigorous kids yoga training and completed the quizzes and teaching feedback with success. With this, you can go on to get professional liability insurance and start teaching out in the world. It is important to continue learning and growing professionally, but this certification will give you an excellent and comprehensive start.

If you have a RYT-200 and have registered with Yoga Alliance, you will also receive 30 continuing education credits through Yoga Alliance. This course does not (yet) qualify as a 95-hour RCYT course since it does not include required face to face “contact hours”. But if you already have a Yoga Alliance designation, you can easily add the required yearly continuing education credits you will receive for this course.

Additionally, most places where you will be teaching kids yoga DO NOT require you to have a kids yoga teacher license (RCYT-95), they just expect you to be well trained, have a clean background to work with kids, and have knowledge in yoga and mindfulness for kids (which this course will provide you with tons!).

Yes! All the printables, templates, documents, and yoga cards will be available for you to download within the course immediately, and again whenever you want. 

Over 100 kids’ yoga pose cards, ready-made mindfulness scripts, fully scripted lesson plans, yoga games, mindfulness workbooks, and more are all available for download as part of the bonus.

The course materials are geared towards school aged kids, and there are modules specifically for toddlers, preschoolers, tweens, and teens! 

All of the lessons and tools will be applicable to the kids that you teach, with the help of the differentiation tools and behavior management techniques you will learn.

I currently teach kids ages 4 to 15, so I also have tons of experience and ideas for kids of any age. You can always hop on a group call and ask for specific ideas or lessons and I will always help you get there!

That’s ok! I’ve had physical therapists, P.E. teachers, classroom teachers, and even librarians take the course with little to no yoga background.

I have intro to yoga videos and slides that will teach you what you need to know to successfully practice yoga and teach it to kids.

With the design of the course and the videos provided, you’ll begin to have a good understanding of how to do the poses and how to teach them effectively.

It’s perfectly ok not to be an expert yogi, as many children you teach will have varying levels of flexibility and strength as well. It’s good to show them you are learning too.

Not sure which option is right for you?

Choose Core Certification if you want a flexible, self-paced certification you can complete on your own time.

Choose Certification + Community if you want guidance, accountability, and help applying what you learn.

Choose Premium Coaching if you want personalized feedback, deeper support, and to accelerate your growth as a teacher.

You don’t need just another training! You need a way to actually start.

Whether you’re a teacher, parent, or yoga instructor, this is your path to confidently teaching kids yoga and mindfulness in a way that actually works.
