TEACHER TRAINING AND WORKSHOPS
"I learned so much. This training will touch every class I ever teach again! I am completely inspired by your clear and beautiful vision of this work"

                            - Level One Training Participant

Teaching yoga to children is unlike anything you are likely to have done before. Prepare to have all your expectations about what a yoga class looks like shattered. The children you teach, the children who teach you, will inspire you to new levels of creativity and compel you to let go of preconceptions and relinquish a great degree of control. They will challenge your patience, your dedication and maybe even shake your confidence, but they will also inspire deep joy and satisfaction.

There is nothing quite like helping a child master a difficult balance and knowing that her confidence and self-esteem have been strengthened along with her legs, or watching a group of students dissolve into giggles as they make up their own yoga poses, or seeing the shift that occurs on a child's face when he finally release into truly nurturing relaxation (maybe for the first time ever). If you are interested in teaching children yoga, incorporating yoga into your lesson plans at school, or making yoga a part of your life with your own children, come join us for information, inspiration and fun.

Courses include Little Flower Teacher Training Levels One through Three, designed for those with prior yoga experience, and the Little Flower Teacher's Workshop, designed for classroom teachers looking to incorporate yoga into the school day (no yoga experience is necessary).

"Everything in this course was presented in a very relevant, clear, obviously well thought out matter. Very practical advice on real situations, tons of great ideas, and I really like the wide variety of ready-to-use hands-on activities"

"Jennifer is obviously doing what she is supposed to be doing in this life...teaching. She is a wonderful person with such a bright energy that motivates the room. I'm so happy to have been a part of her training and the community she has created."


 
NEW WORKSHOPS FOR TEACHERS!

THE COMPASSIONATE CLASSROOM
March 16 6:00-9:00pm

WHERE:  Karma Kids Yoga, 104 West 14th St. NY NY

Are you ever frustrated by the behavior of your students? Ever frustrated by your own reaction to their behavior? Feel like you don't want to yell but don't know what else to do? Wish you could spend more time on content and less on classroom management?


The Compassionate Classroom workshop will give you tools and techniques to keep your students engaged through cooperation rather than control. You will learn to teach classes in a way that shows compassion and respect for all children, and use powerful communication strategies to create an environment of mutual trust.


Our goal is to provide all children with a sense of internal discipline, and offer teachers alternatives to punishment methods that serve to re-orient students to activities rather than ostracize them. Avoid unnecessary conflict and power struggles with your students and you will be amazed at how much time you can dedicate to learning!
