I would like to learn how to share yoga with children and teens. My experience has made me realise that yoga is a powerful tool for developing self-awareness and empowerment. It is a good thing that children start practicing yoga at an early age and grow up with it which could be even more productive for them whenever they may later find themselves in the world at large. There are many children in my community who could reap great benefit from yoga

I want to be a children’s yoga teacher because I believe in the importance of impacting and bringing consciousness into our community and world. The powerful values, virtudes and practices of yoga will definitely play an important role in creating an aware and revolutionary generation if taught to children at a young age. I believe teaching yoga to children will also solve most of the separations and conflicts that our nation is currently facing.

I want any child who has interest in practicing yoga to have that access to the platform and if they ever choose to live the yogic lifestyle, they can embrace it at a young age. Also, because yoga has been my saving grace, I believe it can do the same for the kids who find themselves about to get off the tracks of life. I want to teach them that they are enough and that they do not have to fit in by being fake to their real selves but being themselves and embracing who they truly are.

I am a yoga teacher who has been working with children for over 5 years now without a proper guidance on how to get them fully involved in their practice as they also get to love it and enjoy it. As the children are having fun in their practice I would love them to do it as they keep healthy mentally, physically, spiritually and emotionally through the practice of yoga. Being able to safely deliver to the children without causing any harm to them of any form.

My main reason for enrolling in this yoga teacher training is to learn some basic skills and techniques in order to teach yoga to children in my community and whatever else there is aneed and interest. With passion, love and commitment, by using what Yoga Pura Vida teaches me, I would like to add to my capacity to empower and transform people around me, specially children would like to add to my capacity. I would like to use yoga as a way of increasing kid’s (sense of themselves and others and their environment) and built their trust, physically and emotionally.

My work and career background for the past Six years has been centred around community development and skills empowerment, to which I have come to understand the different challenges faced by the different demographic groups across society. I have observed the growing numbers of stress, illness, overweight and imbalance Children are experiencing due to poor health practices, which through the introduction of Children tailored yoga practices would help provide a balanced solution to addressing these challenges. I look forward to participating in this program, learning and being able to be part of a generation that can contribute practical skills, expertise and leadership attributes to this program and my communities after the training as I direct my community work to include child skills empowerment.

For the last 3 years I have been giving regular yoga classes at school to the kids from my school community. I can see how much they enjoy it and benefit. I Would like to have more knowledge and skills. I would like to improve the structure of my classes. Get new ideas about content and how to use games and stories. I would like to know how to work with different ages.

I would like to participate in this Training because this is my opportunity to have more understanding and knowledge about yoga practice to offer to kids. I want to make it fun without losing the value of yoga as well being tool.

As someone caring for children I am so delighted to participate in the yoga TTC (yoga for children). I passionately believe that sharing yoga with children and teens early improves their wellbeing and motivates them in the school academing. Moreover I am running a charity organisation for kids called stepping up Salone that deals with their communication and creative skills; introducing yoga will boost their mental and physical improvement in learning.
