Why Teach Kids Yoga?

Children today often experience busy schedules, constant stimulation and everyday pressures. Kids yoga introduces simple, engaging practices that can help children manage stress, recognise their emotions and become more aware of their thoughts and feelings.

Through playful movement, breathing exercises and mindfulness, children can explore their strengths, develop self-confidence and build a positive relationship with their bodies.

What children can learn through yoga

  • Recognise emotions and practise calming strategies

  • Develop balance, coordination and body awareness

  • Build concentration and mindful attention

  • Express themselves with confidence and creativity

Yoga poses, mindful breathing and relaxation practices can help teenagers become more aware of their bodies, understand their emotions and approach everyday challenges with greater self-awareness.

What teenagers can explore through yoga

  • Practical techniques for managing everyday stress

  • A healthier relationship with their changing bodies

Kids and Teen Yoga Course Posted 12 months ago

I really enjoyed this course. The material was very informative and the course was presented in a logical format. The didactic strategies are very useful. I am an elementary school teacher and I have a better understanding of the educational role of yoga. The videos and downloadable material of different games, fairytales with asanas, breathing exercises and meditations are great and ready to use!

Importance of yoga in child development Posted 2 years ago

it is a very stimulating course with a lot of precise information about the peculiarities of the audience. I particularly appreciated the emphasis on the educational aspects of yoga and how yoga can play a major role in child development.The focus seems to be more on teens than kidsyoga, though there are many valuable ideas on the last subject. I highly recommand the course!

Wonderfully inspiring teacher; you will learn a lot Posted 3 years ago

Marzia is a dedicated teacher and shines. Her course has taught me a lot about kids and yoga and she is a good role model. There is rich and detailed content including child psychology and detailed lesson plans. For improvement in general; I missed more interactive elements of online learning and higher quality (translation) of written educational materials. Recommend this course.

Enjoyed the course! Posted 3 years ago

I really enjoyed the course and learned so much! I am looking to teach young children and this was helpful, the course is more heavily focused on teen yoga as this is more comprehensive for their age, but Marzia helped me with a lesson outline for the toddlers too.
Thanks a lot!

I loved this course! Posted 4 years ago

I really enjoyed doing this course, it got me exited and fulfilled my expectations. Marzia Bendotti is very generous in sharing her knowledge and experience as a yoga teacher for children and teenagers. In my case I think I would have liked to have at least 2 more weeks to finish the course so I could have practiced more what I learnt in between sections. Thank you so much!!
