Course information
Children are faced with so many issues from a young age. Bullying, lack of confidence, fear of acceptance, never feeling good enough, struggles to find balance, stress, anxiety, and problems focusing. These are all very common issues.
Yoga and mindfulness offer children a tool to cope with these feelings and trauma. An opportunity to rise above and beyond the horrible thoughts that can repeatedly echo in a child’s mind. Imagine a world where every child feels content, seen, heard, and truly believes in themselves. A world where they are not relying on external praise and opinion, but where they feel empowered to follow their intuition and hearts. A world where children can become extraordinary!
You now have an opportunity to share yoga and mindfulness with the younger generations. Teaching them the skills and providing them with the tools to help make their lives – and in turn, the world – a happier place! The training provides a holistic and sustainable course that will grow the whole child with creativity woven into all aspects of learning. With a focus on emotional intelligence, self-confidence, resilience, community awareness and values, the teaching is student-centered.
You will experience themes based on a continuum of human consciousness development, and ‘the culture of childhood’ to choose Kids’ yoga lesson themes to engage. So the kids you teach have a positive association with themselves, and affirmation so that they develop self-confidence. Loka Yoga wanted to make this a comprehensive, self-paced training for you so the quality and quantity of content in this training far exceeds an in-person training!

Philosophy and values
The core educational philosophy of this training and experience is that all children are born with a natural and insatiable curiosity, and that people learn best in non-coerced, self-directed situations.
Loka Yoga is inspired by the way in which integral teaching sees the child as rich, resilient and resourceful, and always in relationship with his/her environment, encompassing an all-inclusive survey of the human experience. The mentor is a patient observer and moderator, with the ability to step back and allow discussion and discovery.
By learning alongside Loka Yoga, you are able to provide countless opportunities for children to explore a world without boundaries. They help preserve the natural love of learning that people are born with.
The 80-hour yoga and mindfulness for children and teens training allows these kids the freedom to thrive socially, intellectually, experientially, academically, creatively, and personally.

- Adults wanting to learn how to teach yoga to children and teens

Jeanne Welsh
Following a long time of suffering from childhood trauma, Jeanne's story begins at Uzenmyethu child care facility, GuGulethu Township, Cape Town, South Africa. She was teaching yoga to children in the most poverty-stricken area of the western cape. Over the past 10 years, Jeanne has been working with children of all backgrounds, sharing the gift of yoga. Noticing this growing need for change, she wanted to create a training not just for yoga teachers, but for parents, teachers, educators, and caregivers too.
