Yoga and mindfulness teacher for children 150h

This post is also available in: Deutsch (German) Español (Spanish)

Our training is entering its second round!

What do children need to be resilient and self-effective? How do self-regulatory skills develop, and how can children develop strategies to master challenging situations?

It has long been known that children’s yoga, mindfulness, and relaxation techniques are a great asset for children. This is because the family environment, daycare, and school, as well as other educational institutions for children and youth work, usually cannot fulfill these additional learning tasks. In addition, the term children’s yoga is a very broad field. This training is therefore an all-encompassing one in the field of yoga, mindfulness, and relaxation.

What will you learn in the training?

You will learn how to practice yoga, mindfulness, and relaxation with children. In addition to asana studies and child anatomy, you will gain in-depth knowledge of pedagogy, developmental psychology, brain development, nervous system development, communication, and stabilization techniques. We also deal with inclusive yoga and what to consider when working with children who have diagnoses. We sensitize our perception to the uniqueness of each person so that you can tailor your offer individually and precisely. Because yoga is much more than the physical aspect, we will consider development on a holistic level. This training goes far beyond what is usually associated with children’s yoga.

After this training, you will be well-equipped to work independently with your offer in courses, working groups, in educational institutions such as schools and daycare centers, or also in workshops (inclusive).

The training comprises a total of 150h (200UE). It is divided into seven weekend modules (six of them online-live, the final module in attendance in Berlin), six evenings with guest lecturers, and a portion of independent learning. The training period covers one year, as we believe that learning also means integration and processing, and time is needed for this. You will gain practical experience during the training so that you will begin teaching during the training. You will complete the training with a certificate after successful completion.

We place great emphasis on professional competence, but also on supporting you in finding your own individual teaching personality. Therefore, the evening modules will primarily deal with topics for your own practice, because children learn by example and you are a role model and attachment partner. Thus, self-reflection and self-regulation are important building blocks in working with people.

Who will accompany you on this path?

The special thing about this training is that we have brought together many experts who will accompany you on your way. You will get to know different methods and teacher personalities who will share their knowledge and wealth of experience with you!

We are Sandra Walkenhorst and Benjamin Olzem, both pedagogues with many years of professional experience in daycare and school, as well as in yoga with children, adolescents, and adults.

The anatomy part is taught by Marion Klinkmüller, the experienced physiotherapist and yoga teacher will teach us everything important about the child’s body and the necessary principles for yoga with children.

You will also meet great guest lecturers, such as Florian Palzinsky and Michael Walkenhorst. More details will follow soon.

In this way, you will receive extensive knowledge, as well as diverse, practical impulses and get to know exciting teacher personalities who will accompany you on your own individual path with their experience and expertise, in order to then be an authentic and helpful companion for children yourself.
