Kidding Around Yoga -

I took my KAY training in North Palm Beach with Stephanie Dorr. She was fantastic and the training was awesome. I was ready to teach my tush off immediately! Also, I had the best group of trainees with me and we all remain in touch!

I am absolutely thrilled with my KAY training experiences! I completed the Online Kidding Around Yoga Teacher Training and followed it up with the Virtual OKAY Supplement on ZOOM, which I highly recommend. The Supplement dives so much deeper into the wealth of information in the OKAY Training and the OKAY class outline. It provides the participants the opportunity to learn from incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and experienced teachers and to ask questions with real-time answers. Participants are assessed one-on-one with immediate, real-time feedback. I also signed up for OKAY Plus, which gave me permanent access to all of the OKAY information, activities, plans and information. OKAY Plus even provides so many more lesson plans, activities, games, stories, and themes which change monthly.

After receiving my 200 hour yoga teaching license, I knew I needed so much more kid friendly material, and, upon registering with OKAY, I had no idea how much more I would learn about the yoga practice, science, history, philosophy and what works with children. On top of all of this, it was unbelievably FUN!!!!!!

Especially with the changing times, I am glad there is a focus on teaching yoga to kids! The earlier we can get the next generation to practice mindfulness while making it fun, the higher the chance they will keep up the practice and develop into more emotionally regulated adults! KAY I applaud you and the approach you're taking! I've been following along your journey!

KAY is a great program for kids to follow and also has many levels of training available for those who wish to teach. The music is great, the games are fun and the theories behind it all are solid and form lifelong lessons for children and they don't even know it. My little one loves it and so do I!!

While I had hoped to take a live training, COVID had other plans. I was anxious to get started so instead I opted to do the online course. I loved that I could take it at my own pace and the 2, 2 hour weekend sessions solidified all that I had learned. Everyone from start to finish were so professional, flexible, and knowledgeable. I am so impressed with this training program that I would absolutely recommend it to anyone who works with kids and wants to learn how to successfully execute yoga teaching for children.

I took the OKAY course and I am so glad I did! I am a RYT 200 so that definitely helped but I believe anyone can benefit from this course. Children are constantly bombarded with stimuli like never before. KAY’s meditation mantra, “peace begins with me” is a wonderful lesson that most children likely don’t learn on their own. I am also grateful for the support from this group of people. It is made very clear if we have any questions, to reach out for help. I’m truly excited to work with as many children as I can and I feel completely equipped and ready!

I really enjoyed my online training with Kidding Around Yoga! I am a certified 200 RYT instructor, and I loved how consistent the training was to yoga philosophy and methodology. The KAY outline promotes fun and movement but also other aspects of yoga, such as meditation, mindfulness, raja yoga, and karma yoga (all 8 limbs!) I also love their original music! I did volunteer teaching for my 200 hour program at an elementary school, and fun, appropriate music (that wasn’t distracting/ didn’t make them think of their favorite movie), was one big thing I felt like I was missing! I also received fast and helpful responses from the online trainer to answer questions / respond to assignments, which I appreciated. The training videos and pictures were also super helpful to visualize what different components would look like in an actual class. I would recommend this training to everyone interested in teaching yoga to kids!

It was a wonderful experience. During this pandemic, this course has brought me so much positivities and direction in the situation.

Even it's an online course, I can feel the support of my instructors and the rest of the Kidding Around Yoga Community on the Facebook group.

I'm very delighted to be part of this, and sharing the values that I've learnt to our generation!
