About this Event

Trauma-Sensitive Kid’s Yoga Teacher Training in Canada

After too much time online, we are thrilled to share that our Level 1 Trainings will be held in-person in Vancouver, Port Moody, Kelowna, and Toronto with little ones actually joining parts of our classes! This gives you a real experience working with children, so you can be an even more inspiring teacher!

Who is Kids Yoga Teacher Training For?

Join us for a journey to connect with and nurture your Inner Child, to empower others. Whether you’re a yoga teacher, parent, counsellor, or work with children in any other capacity, this uniquely progressive and accessible training will help you empower children from utero to 15 years with life-skills. Our Yoga Alliance Certified Kids Yoga Teacher Training (Levels 1, 2 + 3) exceeds the 95 required hours, to provide you a full understanding of how to share your gifts in an age-appropriate ways. Yoga is all about connection, and nurturing our gloWithin. Imagine if you learned yoga-based tools as a child? How might that have supported you on your journey?

Your Lead Trainer, Katie, was fortunate enough to, and can attest to how important these skills are in staying connected to our light, particularly for highly sensitive children. We are seeing an increase in highly sensitive children struggling with anxiety, depression, ADHD, ASD and other conditions that stem from imbalance in the nervous system for a variety of reasons. Being highly sensitive is a gift and strength, but can present challenges in our world. Learning the Yoga and Craniosacral (Polyvagal) tools we explore can help these and all children on their journey. Let’s help empower future generations and release patterns for a brighter, healthier future!

Your Kids Yoga Teacher Training Lead Trainers

Your Lead Trainer, Katie, has coached children for over 20 years, has been teaching yoga to children and adults since 2012, and offers Craniosacral + Somatoemotional Release Therapy – offering a unique + empowering approach to yoga for children. She learned to meditate and do breath-work as a child, which has inspired her life work.

Dawn Slykhuis, is a Registered Social Worker with experience teaching at the post-secondary level. She became a yoga instructor in early 2019 to combine her SW skills with mind-body-emotion tools to support children in their mental health. Dawn believes it is our vulnerability that connects us as humans, making her classes suitable for all levels, including anyone who has never done yoga before. Dawn’s classes are grounded in the principle of ahimsa (non violence) towards ourselves, and towards our outside world. In 2020, Dawn followed her passion further and started RVN Wellness, a yoga + counselling studio in Port Moody, BC.

Together we bring you an empowering, inclusive, age appropriate approach to fostering healthy life skills in Kids Yoga classes, to include;

Grounding for healthy boundaries and body autonomy

Understanding our values + those of others

Appreciation for our strengths + others

Emotional resilience, self-care + creating healthy relationships

Self-awareness + expression

Communication + leadership skills

Collaboration + cultural appreciation

Connecting with our hearts + intuition

We explore tools for you to incorporate into your classes, and help nurture children from all backgrounds and experiences on and off the mat. We believe in order to support the child, we need to support the world of the child. Empowering educators and parents is a very important part of this work.

Levels 1, 2 + 3

You are welcome to take Level 1 as a stand-alone course, or complete all 3 Levels (95h+ Training) to apply to become a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher with Yoga Alliance. For details on what we explore in each Level, times, locations, and registering with the EarlyBird + Bonus, please see here.
