Not Recommended for New Kids Yoga Teachers As a certified yoga teacher (Yoga Alliance, including Pregnancy and Kids Yoga) with experience in teaching, I enrolled in this course hoping to gain fresh ideas. While it offers a few new games and activities, overall, it was a disappointment. The course feels more like a promotional platform for "GoGo" products—that come at an extra cost—than a well-structured teacher training. Content is disorganized, repetitive, lacking essential guidance on age-appropriate practices. Grouping ages 3–12 together is not only ineffective but potentially unsafe. Children aged 3 need a completely different approach than preteens. A proper breakdown would be: 0–3 years 3–6 years (even here, motor skills vary greatly) 7–11 years 12–17 years (where teen-focused practices are crucial) The instructor dismisses note-taking by saying "everything is in the resources"—but it’s not. Lesson plans are only relevant for kids around 8+, and demo classes reflect that too, with no real examples for younger age groups. Overall, this course lacks depth, structure, and the developmental nuance needed for quality kids yoga education.
