We are Your Global Leader in Yoga Education™. and a top rated provider of Yoga Teacher Training & Continuing Education on UDEMY. Since 2010, we have successfully graduated over 36,000 students worldwide, both in-person and online.
IMPORTANT:
The training is split into two parts. You must complete both parts successfully to earn the Children's Yoga Teacher certification.
To obtain your certification, you must participate in four LIVE sessions via our studio platform. These sessions are part of both course parts and are held weekly—four live sessions in total for both parts. If you miss a session one week, you can attend it in another. A full calendar of live events is provided, allowing you to select sessions that fit your schedule. Remember, as yoga emphasizes ethics and integrity, we expect you to manage your attendance responsibly.

For students who already hold a Children's Yoga Teacher certification:
All certificates are issued by UDEMY. With your UDEMY certificate, this course can be added to your GOYA or Yoga Alliance profile. It qualifies for 50 hours of Continuing Education (contact hour) credits. Instructions will be provided at the end of the program on how to add these to your profile. If a student would like to receive a certificate from the school, they can apply for this at the end of the program. This has an additional fee* associated with it. This is optional and not required.
For students seeking full certification as a GOYA Certified Children's Yoga Teacher or a YA Registered Children's Yoga Teacher:
If you wish to receive the official school certificate, upon successful completion of Parts 1 & 2, you will be instructed on how to request this from the school at the end of Part 2. You do not need to request any certificates until then.
Our certification process is rigorous and takes up to 10 business days for a team member to ensure you have successfully qualified. We take pride in maintaining high standards and do not simply hand out official certificates.
An additional fee* is associated and this fee covers the time and meticulous effort required for the verification process and the creation of your official certificate. You will use the school certificate to register with an organization(s) of your choosing.
* UDEMY'S policy does not allow us to share that information with prospective students. While this is not our preference, and we would prefer to be able toi offer these details in this description, we must comply with their policy. Rest assured, the additional fees are offered at a significantly discounted rate, allowing UDEMY students to access the program at 85% off the regular public pricing.
By joining our program here on UDEMY, you become a part of our Community Supporting Community program, which allows us to return 5% of your course fees back to communities focusing on educational equality for children. Every penny counts, and together, we make a difference.
All course content is curated by, and exclusive to our school.
