Movement, play, and development for toddlers and preschoolers

Enroll: Toddler & Preschooler Teacher Training

Help little bodies grow and big feelings settle.

Learn how to teach developmentally appropriate yoga classes for toddlers and preschoolers, using movement, play, stories, and imagination to support physical, social, emotional, and cognitive development.

Specialized Expertise

Build the knowledge and hands-on skill to teach toddlers and preschoolers, an age of fast movement, big feelings, and very short attention spans. You'll learn what these growing bodies and minds are ready for, and how to build a class that meets them there.

Practical & Applicable

Learn class structure, sequencing, and teaching strategies you'll use in your first session. Leave with a plan and skills and confidence to adapt to the unpredictability of toddlers and preschoolers.

Support Caregivers

The caregiver is still the child's primary guide at this age. Gain tools to coach parents through the toddler and preschool years, big emotions, testing limits, and the early steps toward independence, so each class strengthens the relationship at home.

Grow Your Impact

Add toddler and preschooler classes to your schedule and serve families in one of the most demanding stages of early parenting. Expand your offerings while doing work that matters to parents who need it.

Is this you?

You teach or work with children between crawling and five, or want to — in a studio, a preschool, a childcare setting, or a family program
You've taught a mixed 0–4 class and found the ages pulling in different directions.
You work in a daycare or preschool and want yoga your classroom teachers can lead.
No prior yoga teaching certification required. A personal practice is strongly recommended.
