Curriculum & Evaluation
Curriculum
Like all Registered Children's Yoga Schools, our yoga teacher training program is required to offer a curriculum reflective of the essential components that all new children's yoga teachers need. Within these requirements is where prospective students will find differences in how the curriculum is delivered.
Our curriculum has an intense focus on technique training applicable to children ages 3-17. This is key for a children's yoga teacher. We exceed the Yoga Alliance requirement of 95 hours of learning because we believe that the additional learning hours do make a difference ~ the difference between a teacher and an instructor ~ one who can deliver a safe, creative, fun, dynamic and holistic classes to amazing little humans.
The program is taught by 4 members of our faculty, collectively. This allows for a vast breadth of knowledge and to be able to experience different perspectives.
Modules of our Curriculum include:
Evaluation
Evaluation is a key component of your training certification. To be successful and to be certified as a Yoga Teacher, the following criteria must be met:
- Full completion of all sections of the online program
- Final Written Exam (30 marks) ~ a successful student must have a grade of 21/30 or higher
- Final Practicum Creation and 30-40 Minute Video Class (Pass | Fail)
If you are unsuccessful in your first attempt during evaluation, we will work with you and address areas of concern, and then you can try again. You will not need to pay program fees again.

Meet Your Teachers
We know that deciding which program to choose is challenging. We believe in transparency and have addressed potential questions you may have. This is a great way to decide if this is the program for you. Here are the answers to our most frequently asked questions.
Is online programming recognized by Yoga Alliance?
YES! On July 19, 2023, Yoga Alliance confirmed permanent approval of online programming. This means that if you register for our training, and complete it successfully, you will receive a Yoga Alliance Approved Certification. There is no deadline to complete the program.
Please be aware that there is NO legitimate version of Canadian Yoga Alliance. Be aware of this as there are groups posing as membership bodies, collecting fees but have no added value. All Canadian students should, and only if they choose to, register with the group Yoga Alliance.
Remember that no membership with any organization is required for you to teach after you have become certified. They are all optional.
Do I need to have previous yoga training to take this course?
All students enrolling in the 100 Hour Children's program, and who wish to be certified must have successfully completed their 200 Hour Yoga Teacher Training. Once you enroll in the program, we will ask you to provide a copy of your 200 Hour certification. You do not have to have completed previous trainings with us to qualify.
This program is advanced and requires students to have the extensive knowledge provided in foundational 200 Hour programs. If you require the 200 Hour ~ Level 1 pre-requisite, please review the details here.
If you do not have the pre-requisite and wish to take this program for self-development or learning more about Children's yoga, you are welcome to join us, but you will not be certified.
What if I don't have children myself? Can I still teach Children's Yoga?
Yes! Many teachers who do not have children of their own are teachers of Children's yoga. This program gives the tools you need to teach children safely, while also providing a breadth of information in a fun, creative, and interactive way!
Which ages of children does the program prepare me to teach?
The program includes children whose age ranges from 3 to 17. You will have all the tools to adapt to different age levels. We understand that little humans are growing and are always at their own unique physical and mental stages.
Does this program teach me how to teach Family Yoga?
Yes! We explore the dynamics, techniques, and methodology for teaching family yoga classes.
Can these program hours be allotted towards hours for my 300 Hour certification?
No. The Children's program is a stand-alone program and cannot be used towards your 300 Hour certification.
If you are considering 300 Hour programming, please view details here.
What styles of yoga will I be certified to teach?
You will be certified in Children's Yoga.
Is this program just for people who want to teach Children's Yoga?
Absolutely not! Anyone wishing to delve deeper into their practice is welcome to join us. The skills and tools you learn in the program can be applied to many aspects of life. Yoga does not just happen on the mat ~ it happens in every moment!
How physically fit do I have to be? What if I have mobility issues?
We welcome you, where you are. What that means is that not every student will always be able to do every single pose. It is about learning how to teach the pose, even if you have limitations physically, which prevent you from demonstrating. Our program is not about trendy yoga. It is about learning, with the notion that we are all perfectly imperfect.
Do I need to be fluent in English?
We welcome students from all backgrounds and ethnicities. All students should be fairly fluent in the English language (reading, writing & speaking).
Will I receive a yoga teacher training certificate after completing this course?
Upon successful completion, and if you have the pre-requisite 200 Hour program, you will receive an official 100 Hour Children's Yoga Teacher Training Certificate.
Will my teaching certificate be recognized, globally?
Absolutely! We have students from the U.K., Germany, France, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia, Canada, U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Spain, and more!
Do I automatically graduate, or receive a certificate if I pay for the course?
No. In order to successfully graduate from any training program we offer, you must successfully meet the graduation criteria. It serves no purpose for us to simply pass students who are not ready or able to teach yoga. It is unfair to you, to the public you may teach, and to the integrity of our programming.
No need to be anxious. All items on each evaluation will be covered in advance and our goal is to ensure you are prepared. Your success is our success!
Are there any live sessions in the program?
No, the entire program is on-demand.
Do I require an internet connection while taking the program, or can I view lectures offline?
Yes, you will require a reliable internet connection as the entire program is web-based. Video content is not downloadable for offline viewing.
You will also require the most up-to-date version of the Google Chrome browser. Our programming is most compatible with this browser.
What does self-paced, on-demand learning mean?
What this means is that the program does not require any group study, or attending particular tutorials at specific points in the training. You set the pace for your learning. You move through the curriculum when and as you want. Students can go back and review sections as many times as needed. The entire program is pre-recorded so that it is on-demand, available to you, always.
If the program is on-demand, what opportunities are there for faculty support and interaction with other students?
We have four key tools and resources that we provide to students to ensure they have a truly interactive and engaging experience.
- The program has an internal Q&A forum where students engage with one another and faculty throughout the program.
- We have a private FB Group for alumni and faculty - it has hundreds of members. This platform is active daily with interaction between peers and teachers alike.
- Each month, faculty holds a live Q&A session. If you are not available at the set time, you may submit questions prior to the session and they will be addressed. It is recorded and made available to all students.
- We have a dedicated Student Support Centre staffed by faculty and our administration team. This is available 7 days a week.
- Each week, a faculty member holds a Live, Student Development session. If you cannot join in live, that's ok. All sessions are recorded for you to watch anytime!
- Also, each week, a faculty member holds a Live, Yoga Practice. If you cannot join live, that's ok. You can always watch the replay on-demand.
As you can see, you will never be left without the ability to reach us and have your questions and queries addressed. We understand how important support is for online learning.
When I go to purchase the course, I notice a price difference. Why is that?
If you are in the UK or the EU, there will be an automatic addition for the VAT taxes. The system recognizes that your device's IP address is located in these countries. Because of tax treaty laws, we cannot amend that. If you are in other areas, such as Canada or the US, there will be a different tax applied, depending on where you are located. Certain jurisdictions, do not have taxes. All taxes collected are on behalf of governments, and do not come to us directly; they are remitted directly, to the applicable tax jurisdiction.
Why do prices vary so much from one school to another?
This is an excellent observation! We know that price points vary all around the globe; from $500 to $4,000. Because these are not live, in-person trainings, any school that charges in excess of $2,200 is selling at an unethical price ~ they know it, and so should you. As you review programs, you will know where you feel most comfortable. We always say, listen to your intuition, it is never wrong.
Once I begin the program, how long do I have to complete it?
From the time you register, you will have lifetime access to complete any programming we offer.
The beauty of our online children's yoga teacher training is that it is a completely self-paced program - you decide when you start and when you finish. Ideally, working through the program without large gaps in time works best, but we appreciate that life is complicated.
How long will it take me to complete the program? Will it take 100 hours?
How long it takes, is really up to you and will depend on your availability. This program will take 100 hours, so work on a schedule that makes learning and life workable for you.
Does my access to the digital course materials expire?
No, you will have full access to updates and revisions, even if you have completed the program. Many of the resources in the program are also downloadable, so those are yours to keep always.
Will I be able to confidently teach Children's yoga classes upon completion of this program?
This online yoga teacher training program has been designed to help you learn all types of techniques to ensure you can teach children safely, in a fun, and creative way with confidence.
Why am I required to join the online yoga class streaming platform?
The online streaming platform, at $9 USD per month, is a tool we use while you are actively engaged in the program. A very small percentage (2%-3%) of the program is accessed via this platform. Once you have completed the program, you are free to cancel that. You can also place your access on hold at any time you are taking a break from your training program. Most students find the platform extremely helpful after they have completed the program, but the choice is yours!
What does the evaluation process look like?
There are 2 phases in evaluation: 1. the Online Written Exam (multiple choice questions), 2. the Practicum Video Exam. All evaluations are marked | graded by teachers from your program.
If you have completed your course work, you will be successful in the written exam.
Students are always anxious about the practicum exam when they start the program. By the time you are ready to submit the practicum, you have all the tools you need to be successful. The entire program prepares you for this submission.
There are specific criteria that you must include in your practicum and this information is made very clear in advance. You will have ample opportunity to ask questions, connect with your teachers and support staff. Before creating your practicum video. You will also have access to a number of resources, including sample practicum videos, so you can see what yours should look like. And if technology is not your forte, we have "How To" videos to help you with the technical aspects of creating your practicum video.
We are here to guide you every step of the way!
What if I am unsuccessful in my evaluations?
While this happens very rarely, we will work with you and address areas of concern, and then you will try again. You will not need to pay full program fees again.
Do you offer payment plans?
Yes, we offer payment plans. We understand that times may be challenging and financial resources can be limited.
