Teen Yoga
Teacher Training
Become a fully accredited Teen (12-18yrs) Yoga Teacher Trainer on our 40hr/4 day programme
Teens’ stress levels are now sky high with exams, high social expectations, low levels of fitness due to social media, poor diet, and from being too self-conscious to exercise in public. Teen yoga classes are growing in popularity, helping deal with exam stress, balancing hormones and helping with self-esteem issues, as well as improving their general fitness.
After seeing the huge positive effects Yoga can have on teenagers, LKY Yoga Teacher Training began to hold Teen Yoga Teacher Training courses. These enable trainees to teach yoga to teenagers, helping them transition into more balanced and happier adults.
