I had the pleasure of training under Shana Meyerson for the mini yogis teacher training in 2012 at the Morro Bay Yoga Center in Morro Bay CA.  This program has 2 levels, one focusing on teaching movement and mindfulness to young children, ages 3-11 and the second level, teaching yoga to teens ages 12-19.  This program was fun, exciting and informative.  It was my very first teacher training and at the time, my children were small, so it made sense to me to learn to teach to their ages and to be able to have my children in my classes with me.   I quickly began teaching at the yoga center in Morro Bay and really loved teaching movement to children.  It also gave me an opportunity to re-learn how to play, how to fall and laugh about it and how to be curious and full of wonder.  I learned so much about movement from watching children move their bodies and from watching them try to be still!  

If you would like to become certified to teach children movement and mindfulness, I highly recommend Shana’s programs and the mini yogis program can now be done online! Shana also offers standard 200hr YTT’s through her school, Yoga Athletica. Click here to learn more about Shana and her offerings.
