Getting Started in Kids Yoga - with Jaime from Cosmic Kids

Getting Started in Kids Yoga is our foundation course in kids yoga.

We have designed it to:

• get you started teaching safe and inspiring kids yoga
• help you grasp the kids yoga teacher's role, so you develop your own teaching style confidently
• equip you with the content you need to teach a safe and inspiring class

The course builds towards your first kids yoga class. I equip you with the script of a great kids yoga story (Squish the Fish!) and coach you to lead it. This means you are ready to lead a kids yoga adventure as soon as you finish the course.

By the end of the course, you will know how to take kids aged 3-8 with you on a safe and inspiring yoga adventure - and you will have your first adventure ready-to-go!

The course includes:

• the 'how-to' of kids yoga: how to perform a story so the kids follow you, so they get the benefits of the yoga.
• the information about kids' development and anatomy you will need to teach a safe class
• a class structure that works every time
• video instruction for 114 kids yoga postures - including anatomical and teaching tips
• a downloadable posture A-Z, which you can print or keep as a pdf on your tablet or smartphone, showing teaching tips and anatomical guidance for every posture
• the script of a proven kids yoga adventure (Squish the Fish!)
• Video Feedback from Jaime - to graduate with full Cosmic Kids certification, students are required to send in a video of them teaching a class. Jaime watches all of these and offers detailed personal feedback via video.

The course is a mixture of:

• well-produced video
• clearly-written study material; and,
• quizzes and practical exercises.

There are lots of important opportunities to practice, all written into the course. Anyone with any experience of yoga will find it very easy to follow.

Take your time to absorb the information in the course, and be sure to do the practice. If you do an hour a day or so including study and practice, it can take you a week or so to complete the course. If you want to take your time though to let the learning really sink in, that's a good idea. With lifetime access you can revisit any element of the course whenever you like.

Students are invited to join the Cosmic Kids Campus, our lovely supportive community of kids yoga enthusiasts on Facebook, where we exchange tips, ideas and resources. There are over 100 of us on there helping each other on our kids yoga journeys.

You are also invited to upload a video of your performance doing Squish The Fish so I can offer you supportive feedback. This is how you get an official certificate from Cosmic Kids for completing the course. You can use this as evidence to insurance companies, schools and parents that you have learnt the required skills.

We really hope you love this course - and that you go on to share the wonderful benefits of yoga with lots and lots of kids.

Namaste!
