3. About the YOGA EDUCATION
M O R E A B O U T I N S I T U T E
Yoga Education Institute is a Registered Yoga School in 200 hours, 300
hour, Children's and Prenatal training programs. We offer amazing and
affordable programs in both California (near Los Angeles) and Florida
(near Fort Lauderdale). Our 200 hour and 300-hour programs are
inspired by the teachings of T. Krishnamacharya. His focus on an
individualized approach to yoga for each student is at the heart of our
training. Through our programs, you'll gain a deeper understanding of
the many layers of yoga, advance your own practice, and learn to
effectively share your knowledge with others, all in a fun and supportive
environment. You will learn how to design and teach safe and
transformational yoga classes, and how to use modifications and
variations of postures to meet the needs of different individuals. You will
also learn how to connect with your students and help them, and
yourself, gain a deeper internal awareness and sense of ease through
the practice of yoga. You will learn to have confidence in your teaching
and in your practice and to find your own unique voice as a yoga
teacher. Through our programs, you will learn how to teach a variety of
forms of hatha yoga, as well as different methods for effective teaching.
Rather than mould you into our style, we believe it is important to honour
the individual in you and to help you find your own unique style and path
in your yoga journey. We believe that you are more powerful than you
could ever imagine and we're here to help you discover your own
amazing power.

4. Overview of Yoga Teacher
Training Program
Yoga is a practice that people have been doing for centuries.
It is a great way to build strength, increase flexibility, and
learn how to relax.
Yoga has grown in popularity over the years and more
people are practicing it. There are many reasons why
people choose to take yoga teacher training courses. Some
want to learn more about the history of yoga, while others
want to be able to teach others about this ancient practice.
Many courses can be completed online which makes them
accessible for anyone who wants to take them no matter
where they live or what their schedule is like.

5. 5 Fun Ways to Teach
Kids Yoga in a Class
Yoga is a great approach to encourage both adults'
and kids' physical and emotional wellbeing. Among
many other advantages, it has been demonstrated
to increase flexibility, balance, strength, and
focus. Yoga can be especially helpful for children
since it can help them form healthy relationships
with their bodies and emotions at a young age.
Yet, it can be difficult to teach yoga to kids since
they might not be as interested or have the same
attention span as adults. Yoga classes for kids
should be entertaining and interesting while still
adhering to the fundamentals of the practice.
