FAQ's

Do I need to be a certified yoga teacher in order to become a kids yoga teacher?

NO: You want to love and appreciate yoga and of course love and enjoy working with children. The fun about teaching yoga for kids is that you really get to have fun! You can use your dance, art, science, drama, music and talent you have.

Will I be ready to go and teach right after the TT?

YES! In fact, the sooner you start teaching after your TT, the better. After the TT, you are excited and everything is fresh. You will make mistakes anyways and learn from them. That’s part of the growth.

(Also, fyi, At Yoga@Play, we have a special mentorship program to support our new teachers as they get certified.)

What sort of “jobs” someone can get after becoming a kids-yoga teacher?

Directors in preschools and schools are beginning to understand the value of yoga and mindfulness. They are incorporating more and more programs both during school and after school. The demands for kids yoga classes is constantly on the rise. As a kids yoga teacher, you can teach at preschools, schools, offer kids yoga in gyms, lead fun yoga birthday parties or even teach at your child’s preschool or school. You can be an independent contractor teaching for yourself or for others.

Will There Be the Opportunity to Work with Yoga@Play?

What makes our training unique among taking a training online or less local, is that Yoga@Play is constantly looking to bring on more teachers. Currently, Yoga@Play is turning down teaching opportunities because we cannot handle the demand. If following the training, Yoga@Play feels you are good fit and you agree, Ofrit offers continued mentorship to guide you to be a Yoga@Play teacher.
