This program was just as intense and informative as my 200 hr adult yoga teacher training. It has allowed me to share my love of yoga with children and their parents. Jamie gives an awesome review of your yoga practice and she really helps you to fine tune your technique. This program is well worth the time and money to add to any continuing education for 200hr certified teachers.”

I did a lot of research and while hesitating and still pondering, Jamie's fun videos on cosmickids youtube channel as well as the great demo lessons which she so kindly shared with people, filled me with enthusiasm and desire to stay and call this place my future island for dreams come true. I have been practicing yoga since I was 17 but still working with kids and instructing them was something I have really wanted to work on. And still will.!:) The course is flexible and I really liked that. I am on maternity leave now and really busy learning a new language as an expat in Scandinavia, but her wonderfully built online platform made me feel confident, calm and happy with the learning. I love Jamie's passion about yoga for kids and I find it quite exciting to feel a part of a community that shares the same passion. Her feedback shows how professional she is and how carefully she has watched all the presentation in order to give the best possible feedback for a teacher's journey with yoga! Definitely recommend this course! P.S After the course I got questions from friends in Bulgaria if the course can be given in Bulgarian because they are really interested but their level of English is not that good. Jamie, have you thought about subtitles for your courses? :) ”

Having trained in Baby Massage and Baby Yoga, kids Yoga felt like a natural progression, however, I learned so so much and Jaime's enthusiasm is totally infectious, you can't help but enjoy learning the postures and practising the "Squish the Fish" routine. My children also enjoyed me doing this course as they had fun being my little guinea pigs! Everything is in bite sized chunks and you can take things at your own pace. After I had completed the course and submitted my assessment video I received really detailed (and encouraging) feedback from Jaime, as well as my certification. I'm now in the process of setting up my own business, teaching in schools and nurseries, which is really exciting! Without question a five star course!”

→Read More“I started cosmic kids with a view on being able to teach my own children a bit more about yoga and have them reap the benefits (they already do a bit of kids yoga but I never had anything to back up why poses are good in specific ways or keep them engaged for longer). Going through the course I was amazed by the amount of content Jaime has put into the course. I learned so much about child development through the ages and the section on Performance (which I was super nervous about) was made fun and engaging by Jaime. Some of the performance techniques I now use in my daily interactions with my two boys and they are paying off! All the course content is broken down into various chapters and the online course is structured perfectly and set up in such a way that you can watch short videos as and when you have time. You don't have to set aside 4 hours and if you need to leave you need to search for the bit in the video where you left off....none of that! The videos are all in good sizeable chunks so you can move through them easily. Also good are the notes that come with each chapter. I saved all of those and they were great to review offline. I did the certification and have to say that the participating kids loved the story and the yoga and I did as well! Jaime has given me the confidence to approach local schools and pre-schools to enquire about offering kids yoga. Thanks Jaime!”

With hours of video lectures, helpful quizzes and recognised certification included if you opt to go for it, this is the complete online training for independent kids yoga teachers.
The focus of this training is story-based yoga which is loved by 2 to 9s. Many older kids enjoy yoga too - so our anatomy and development focus spans from 2 to 12 years old, and we now include special modules on teaching yoga to toddlers and also to tweens.
However - if you are not satisfied with it for any reason, you can just tell us why within 30 days and we will give you a full refund.
For full Cosmic Kids certification, you are invited to upload a video for personal feedback from Jaime, using the class plan provided (Squish The Fish).
Jaime watches your class and gives supportive one to one feedback via video. If you hit the required standard, you get official certification from Cosmic Kids. You can use your certificate as evidence to insurance companies, schools and parents that you have the required skills to teach safe inspiring kids yoga.
What you get from the training:
-
Full certification to teach kids yoga professionally -
A thriving community of more than 3000 kids yoga teachers you can exchange ideas and resources with -
Inspiring detail on the postures in kids yoga -
The insight you need to fully understand how to be an excellent kids yoga teacher -
The content you need for a BRILLIANT first class -
How to 'perform' a kids yoga adventure so the kids will follow you and get the benefit of the yoga -
A simple class structure you'll be able to rely on -
The important anatomical and developmental context for safe and appropriate kids yoga -
Video feedback from Jaime for your test class and a certificate recognised by insurers on successful completion of the training -
Over 180 lectures and 6 hours of content
An inspiring learning experience, including:
-
The 'how-to' of kids yoga: how you perform a story incorporating yoga postures so the kids follow you - so they get the benefits of the yoga.

I watch all of these and offer detailed personal feedback via video. Your feedback (and certification if you meet the required standards) will be sent to you within 28 days of your submitting the final assessment video.

It's so helpful that there's no time limit doing the course, not only could I take my time completing the course but it's a great resource to have access to and to come back to for a refresher when needed. The additional lessons on how to deliver the story were so interesting and not something I had ever come across before in a yoga course. I love Jamie's delivery of kid's yoga and do her videos with my three year old daughter regularly. I'm a primary school teacher so I'm so excited to be able to teach yoga to the children in my class. Can't wait to put it into practice. Thanks so much Jamie and Cosmic Kids Yoga. :-)”
