Island Prenatal Yoga: Online Kids Yoga Training

This course is designed for yoga teachers and movement professionals who want to add children’s yoga to their teaching toolkit. Because the 25 hours count as Yoga Alliance Continuing Education, students typically come in with an existing yoga teaching credential and want a structured framework for teaching kids classes safely and confidently across different age groups.

The curriculum covers the foundations of teaching yoga to children. Students study the benefits of yoga for kids, general teaching guidelines, and how to modify a class for different ages and developmental stages. The pranayama, meditation, and yoga nidra sections adapt practices for younger students, alongside class theme ideas and animal-named asanas designed to keep children engaged.

Later modules go into class structure, sequencing, music, group work and partner activities, props, sharing time, and how to teach yoga to kids with special needs. A dedicated section on discipline and classroom management covers practical strategies for praising children and handling group dynamics. The course also includes parent involvement and child protection material, sample sequences students can use directly in their own classes, and a marketing module on how to find and grow a kids yoga teaching practice.

The course is led by Lauren Prindiville, the founder of Island Prenatal Yoga. After her own 200-hour yoga teacher training, she pursued specialized training in prenatal, postnatal, and children’s yoga and has since taught over 650 students through Island Prenatal Yoga’s online programs from her base in Tahiti.

The format is fully self-paced. Students get unlimited lifetime access to the materials across any device. Learning happens through a downloadable PDF manual of more than 100 pages, voice-recorded lessons and videos, sample sequences, pranayamas, and guided meditations. Each lesson submission receives one-on-one feedback, and students also gain access to an online community for support and collaboration. The final teaching component is submitted as a video.
