Created by: Jessica Fleming

Our take
Based on the ratings of 8,427 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in June 2024. No course pays to be reviewed.
Jessica Fleming's course is a kids yoga teacher training built around age bands: 2 to 5, 5 to 8, 9 to 12 and 12 to 17. It runs 2.6 hours over 73 short lectures, with a newer module on anxiety and a final one on the business of teaching kids yoga. Nobody needs prior experience, and the audience list takes in parents, classroom teachers and existing yoga instructors. It is a short certificate course, not a deep qualification.
Reviewers like the child development breakdown and say it is explained simply. The printable pose guides and handouts get a lot of praise, and a few people say they plan to use the course in classrooms or local classes. One reviewer singles out Jessica's gentle, encouraging voice, though another found her tone monotone. The complaints are small but real. One reviewer found the pace a little fast, another wanted more for children under two, and one called it short on theory. One disliked the background music. Others could not find the downloads or the certificate steps.
With about 29,000 students and 4.6 stars across 8,427 ratings, it is the only kids-focused option in this group. The courses beside it are general yoga teacher trainings, so this is a much shorter, narrower alternative, not a replacement. The content was last updated in June 2024, which is fine for poses and teaching ideas. Take it if you want a practical starting kit. Look elsewhere if you want a recognized credential or deep anatomy.
Pros
- Lessons split into age bands from 2 to 17, with development notes for each
- Printable pose guides and handouts that reviewers call excellent and easy to use
- Jessica Fleming's calm, encouraging delivery is called pleasant to follow
- Extra modules on kids with anxiety and on getting classes into schools
Cons
- Only 2.6 hours, and one reviewer found it short on theory
- One reviewer found the pace fast, and another wanted material for under twos
- Some reviewers could not find the downloads or the certificate steps
Good breakdown of understanding development but in a simple way. Teaching tips are all very good and relevant all easy to understand
Marked All Levels with no requirements, so true beginners are fine, as are yoga teachers adding kids classes.

Mindful and caring appraoch to teaching young kids and teenagers the benefits of yoga and how they can utilise these skills not just on the mat but in everyday shortcomings.

By Joanne Thomas on 7/25/2026
Great explanations and modules for older children. I would have liked more for under two's though.
By Linda Fleming on 7/23/2026
I truly like how the course provides information on child development for each stage. It is very important to know when working with children of different ages. The resources are a huge plus, especially the different yoga poses that are appropriate for each age group. The course also provides insight to safety regarding physical, emotional, and mental baseline to understand children in the different age groups.
By Cara Macri on 7/11/2026
Great course with excellent handouts. Found the pace a little fast but grateful to be able to slow the video speed a little.
By Teddie Hill on 6/17/2026
Absolutely loved this course! I've been teaching mindfulness to adults for years, and I'm starting my journey of teaching kids. I appreciate that the course is broken up by age groups and even gives some information on where you can teach and some example classes.
