OM Schooled Kids Yoga Teacher Training
with Sarah Herrington

Learn to teach yoga to the next generation with OM Schooled!

OM Schooled believes it is an honor to teach children yoga and offers rigorous but joyful trainings that will enrich any yogi’s life. Our program teaches structure – classroom management, daily lesson plans, and curriculum creation – along with the freedom, fun, and energy that comes with kids yoga. We create the space and opportunity to practice teach in order to give our participants a comprehensive and innovative teaching toolbox. There are no prerequisites other than the desire to teach children and a love for yoga. OM Schooled is special because it was born and bred in NYC public schools and has been around for over a decade. Participants will leave with a handful of co-created lesson plans and the confidence to use them.

If you are a yoga teacher: this course will help you learn to translate yoga into age-appropriate goodness.

If you are a school teacher: this course will teach you to incorporate mindfulness breaks into the classroom or teach full yoga sessions in the school setting.

If you are a parent: this course will help you plant seeds of mindfulness, health and wellness in your children early on.

If you are in love with yoga: this course will teach you how to share it with those who will inherit this earth

Yoga is for every child and is a low-cost, accessible addition to any learning environment.

We don’t think it’s an overstatement to say: sharing yoga with kids could change our collective future world!
