So… you want to become a kids yoga teacher?

You’re in the right place — because not only have I been in your shoes, I built an entire half-million-dollar kids yoga business from scratch after starting with ONE childcare class.

And here’s the best part:

👉 You absolutely do NOT need to be a certified adult yoga instructor to teach kids yoga.
👉 You do NOT need years of experience.
👉 And you definitely don’t need to be “perfect” at yoga.

If you love kids, love movement, and want to make a positive impact, you can become an incredible kids yoga teacher — starting today.

This guide will show you exactly how.

What Does a Kids Yoga Teacher Actually Do?

Kids yoga is not adult yoga made smaller.
It’s silly. It’s playful. It’s mindful. It’s imaginative.

A kids yoga teacher:

Teaches fun, safe movement
Introduces children to breathing tools
Supports emotional regulation
Creates moments of calm in busy classrooms
Helps kids build confidence, focus, and resilience
Uses music, stories, themes, and games
Makes mindfulness magical ✨

And because most schools and childcares don’t have in-house yoga teachers, there is HUGE demand.

What Training Do You Need to Teach Kids Yoga?

One of the biggest misconceptions is that you need a 200-hour adult yoga certification.

You don’t — kids yoga is its own specialty.

Instead, you need a kids yoga–specific certification that teaches you:

Anatomy & development for children
How to structure a class
What poses are safe for each age
How to manage classroom behaviour
How to teach toddlers vs. elementary kids
Mindfulness tools for kids
Games, stories, and creative sequencing

A great kids yoga teacher training will make you feel confident enough to walk into a classroom and teach your VERY first class with ease.

👉 This is exactly what my Little Yogis Academy® Kids Yoga Teacher Training is designed for. (Perfect for ECEs, teachers, yoga instructors, parents, and anyone with a big heart.)

What Will You Teach in a Kids Yoga Class?

A typical class includes:

A welcoming circle
A breathing exercise
A warm-up
A yoga flow
A yoga game
A calm-down routine
A mindfulness moment

Where Can Kids Yoga Teachers Teach?

This is where things get exciting — because opportunities are everywhere:

✔️ Childcare centres
✔️ Public & private schools
✔️ Montessori schools
✔️ After-school programs
✔️ Camps
✔️ Community centres
✔️ Birthday parties
✔️ Corporate events
✔️ Online classes
✔️ Workshops

This is why so many educators turn this into a part-time or full-time income.

How Much Do Kids Yoga Teachers Make?

Rates vary by region, but here’s a general guide:

Childcare classes: $80–$120 per class
School workshops: $150–$350
After-school programs: $120–$200 per session
Birthday parties: $200–$350
Special events: $150–$600+

Many educators build up to $1,000–$3,000 per month part time, and MUCH more full time.

This is how I grew my business to over $500,000 — without a big team and without complicated systems.
