Her open and honest way of teaching gave me a much deeper understanding of yoga, its philosophy and meditation, while also helping me grow in my own practice. The two weeks were a beautiful experience of learning, reflection and connection, in the peaceful setting of the beautiful place she created in France. I am incredibly grateful for everything I learned and would wholeheartedly recommend this training. 💛

Loving the teaching style of my current Yoga teacher who also did his training with Charlie, I decided to take the opportunity this year and i am super happy with my decision! Charlie creates a warm, safe and compassionate environment without dogma, focusing on early teaching experience during the course and taking the theoretical part very serious which I really appreciated. Absolutely recommended! :)

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I had the privilege of receiving Kids Yoga training from Charlie last year, and I cannot recommend her enough! Her deep knowledge of yoga, combined with her remarkable ability to connect with children, made the training an unforgettable experience.

Charlie created a warm, welcoming, and supportive space for our group, where everyone felt valued and encouraged to grow. The manual she provided was an incredible resource—packed with creative ideas and wisdom that I continue to rely on in my practice.

I walked away from the training not only with practical tools and insights but also with a renewed sense of purpose and confidence to share yoga with children. Thank you, Charlie, for your guidance, patience, and for cultivating such a beautiful learning environment!

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of the course! Charlie is a very thoughtful and supportive teacher, creating an encouraging learning environment.
The course deepened my understanding of Yoga’s physical and mental aspects, the connection between muscles, joints, body systems and the mind, and how classes can be set up to benefit both body and mind.
Practical sessions were a key part of the learning experience, providing hands-on teaching practice and valuable feedback from both peers and Charlie. This helped foster rapid progress in teaching, allowing for the development of a natural rhythm and effective class structure.
After the course I feel ready to apply my knowledge as a teacher in a safe way. The course also expanded my view on how Yoga and teaching Yoga can be applied in different settings.
Overall, dedicating two weeks to Charlie’s course was a rare and enriching experience for which I am deeply grateful.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. I’ve just returned home from completing my YTT 200hrs with Charlie in Portugal, and what an incredible 2 weeks it was.
Charlie shared her vast yogic knowledge and experience in a wonderful way during the course, taking us through a huge array of topics and experiences in great detail.
The way the course was structured allowed our knowledge to build in a natural way, creating a wonderful foundation for our future teaching. The mix of practical and theoretical learning, and her ability to share so many insightful real life examples really brought this course to life. The confidence we gained as the time went on was remarkable, and the space that Charlie continuously held for the group throughout the course was nurturing, supportive and welcoming.
I would highly recommend completing training with Charlie - her authenticity, light and passion for yoga shines through, and I am very grateful to have had the opportunity to learn so much from her ✨🧘🏼‍♀️🙌

The program was impeccably structured, balancing theory, practice, and reflection in a way that made even complex topics approachable. Each session built seamlessly on the last, helping us grow with confidence.

 recommendsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Facebook. After my first Yoga Teacher Training (RYT200) with Charlie in November 2019 – which was without doubt the best decision and life-altering experience, I now took part in her Kids Yoga Teacher Training in Nyon, Switzerland in August 2024.
Charlie is an experienced, highly qualified and inspiring yoga teacher trainer who prepares you from day one. Her comprehensive curriculum covers all aspects of teaching yoga to kids (from ages 2 to teens). What stands out with Charlie is not only the knowledge, wisdom and theory including real-life examples you will gain from her teaching, but also the in-class practice and emphasis on making time for questions and constructive feedback.
Charlie is a true yogi from heart and goes above and beyond to ensure every participant gets quality of training necessary to become the best possible yoga teacher for kids.
In Charlie, you will find an exceptional teacher trainer, yogi and person – and I’m already looking forward to taking part in Charlie’s next yoga retreat!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended Charlie's RYT 200 training in 2026. Charlie gave us deep knowledge of anatomy, physiology, and yoga philosophy. But beyond the technical skills, she guided us through spiritual journey. I left the training not only feeling confident as a teacher but filled with deep gratitude and tools for inner peace. An absolutely transformative experience!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've just completed a 4-day yoga retreat with Charlie in an idyllic Swiss location. From the start, the group coalesced into a cohesive and convivial unit, all down to Charlie's empathetic and skilled teaching, but also her light and friendly touch beyond the yoga mat.  It was an well-planned mix of yoga, meditation, Qigong and walking in the snowy landscape, sometimes in silence.  The ambiance was kind and enveloping, everyone's needs noticed and responded to, with Charlie's sensitivity and fine attention to detail contributing to a wonderful overall experience.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

FAQs

Can the course be done online?

I’m afraid not as it requires you to have live experience teaching children in front of the lead trainer, and to be interacting with the other students on the course, in order to get the best training possible.

Why do this course and not another kids yoga teacher training course?

Most other kids yoga teacher training courses are not Yoga Alliance RCYT courses and tend to focus on a smaller age range. The Yoga Alliance RCYT course is renowned internationally for having the highest standards of any course in the world, and as being the most comprehensive course there is. You will not learn how to play yoga related games with children, but be taught how to apply the many techniques of yoga, meditation and pranayama to children of 2 – 16 years old, to enhance their cognitive, physical, linguistic, social and emotional development, specific to their age group. You will finish the course able to confidently give safe, appropriate, and beneficial classes to children, helping future generations be calmer, happier and healthier kids.

Charlie was one of the first Yoga Alliance qualified teachers to give this training course in Europe. She has 15 years of experience teaching yoga to children, becoming well-known for specializing in Yoga for autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, and anxiety. Her reviews and testimonials speak for themselves, and she is passionate about spreading the benefits of yoga, breathing, and meditation to children.

Will I receive my certificate at the end of the course?

Yes on the last day!

Can I do the course if I’m not a yoga teacher?

Absolutely. We get many non-yoga teachers attend the course. You will not receive the Yoga Alliance RCYT certificate for certified yoga teachers, but you will receive the Indiv Yoga Switzerland Kids Yoga Teacher certificate. In some places you can still use this certificate of completion to give kids yoga classes, however it is normally used to complement a child related profession, like school teacher, sports teachers, paediatricians, kids dance teacher, physiotherapist or other types of therapists.

Will I get some time off during the week?

Yes there will be breaks, lunchbreaks and you will hav the evenings off. The timetable can be a bit flexible, so sometimes we start earlier or finish later on a couple of days, if it suits the group, so that we can enjoy the lake or a hike.

Do you provide accommodation?

No but there are plenty of hotel and Airbnb options to choose from around Nyon, and surrounding areas. Gland is 5 mins from Nyon train station and Geneva is 15 mins away by train where there are many accommodation options. The studio is a 3 mins walk from Nyon station and the bus network is very good.

What qualification will I get after the course?

As a certified 200 hrs yoga teacher, you will receive the Yoga Alliance RCYT (Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher) certificate. As a non-yoga teacher you will receive the Indiv Yoga Switzerland Kids Yoga Teacher certificate.

Is there any coursework?

Before the course starts you need to read the short book ‘Jonathan Livingston Seagull’ by Richard Bach, to write a short synopsis and how you think you can create a yoga class or yoga activity based on the book. You also need to find 10 fun facts for kids!

How long do I need to have been teaching yoga to be able to certify as a kids yoga teacher?

Even if you finished your 200 hrs Yoga Teacher Training course, are are finishing it at the same time, you can attend our course. You will only receive your RCYT certificate however once your Yoga Alliance course is finished.

Is there any continued support after the course?

Yes! Charlie is always available to give you guidance and advice. There is also a private Facebook page specifically for yoga teachers where herself and other teachers answer with their advice and experience, to any question you have.
