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.
