Get Certified In Children’s Yoga
We offer these certification steps live and on Zoom. We have several different schedules such as weekend trainings, a weekday only 10-day intensive, and our exclusive 7-day retreat where you stay on site.
Step 1: Get Grounded in Children’s Yoga gives you the language, practices, and awareness to teach real yoga to children with developmental integrity, energetic clarity, and emotional fluency. The training begins by defining what it means to be grounded: present, regulated, and rooted in your own experience. From that place, you’re able to teach students how to move energy through the body, shift emotional states, and reconnect to their sense of self. We ask you to show up authentically, ready to learn, reflect, and practice. No prior experience is required.

Our Graduates Speak For Themselves
Never A Dull Moment
I highly recommend the Ground Kids Yoga Teacher Certification Intensive! Amy and Sedef managed to turn a virtual training into a very personal, connected, safe self-enhancing, and highly engaging experience. Every day of the training was filled with YOGA and included movement, dialogue, meditation, self-reflection, learning, and laughter. There was never a dull moment as we worked our way through the very thorough and well-developed Grounded Kids Curriculum and Step 1 – Step 4 Training Manuals. A great deal of vital material was covered, yet it was presented in an incredibly organized and accessible manner. Amy and Sedef created a space where I felt comfortable being vulnerable and asking questions. They openly and lovingly shared their vast expertise and built confidence in trainees by treating us as part of the Grounded Kids Teacher community from the beginning of the training.
This One Is Worth The Read
I am so happy I chose Grounded Kids Yoga to earn my RCYT. I am a pediatric speech therapist (and former classroom teacher) working at an outpatient clinic. I use the Grounded Kids curriculum with all of my patients in some form or another. My patients respond so well to the pose names, cues, mantras, mudras, and philosophy. The pose illustrations and names are very easy for kids to remember and connect with. Parents have been super supportive and very excited to implement a Grounded Kids home program. Since implementing Grounded Kids at my clinic, parents and other therapists have remarked on how focused, regulated, and calm the kids are. Amy and Sedef are incredibly knowledgeable about child development, best practices for educating children, anatomy and physiology, and yoga philosophy. I was lucky to be able to take part of this training in person and part of it online. I can attest to the fact that this training is amazing in either modality. Amy and Sedef also helped me begin to formulate my own business plan regarding kids yoga. If you are a classroom teacher, therapist, or parent, I HIGHLY recommend this training. You will be so happy you chose to learn under the guidance of Amy and Sedef.
Not Just For Yogis
This training should be taken by anyone that works with kids. This is not just for yogis. The practice of movement & meditation is in everything we do.
Learned Lots To Incorporate Into Teaching
I loved learning all the different aspects of yoga, such as the elements and chakras, mudras and mantras, guided visualizations, meditation and relaxation, as well as the psychology and therapeutic sides of it. The entire course is very comprehensive and covers in detail a lot of different areas that tie into yoga. I feel like it was a very educational experience for me. I sure learned lots of new information and I cannot wait to incorporate all of it into my teachings.
Grew Personally & Professionally
The grounded kids teacher training was an amazing experience filled with useful information laid out in an organized way. I grew personally and professionally. I gained new insights about myself and direction on how to use these insights as I work with children and families.
Feel Ready To Teach
Unexpectedly empowering. Effortlessly authentic. I left this training ready to find my niche in the yoga industry. I feel ready to teach and have reached out to three different locations so I have a place when our world transitions to its new variation. As part of our training, we listened, we watched, we taught and we transformed. I’d definitely recommend.
Not A Detail Missed
You two truly have a gift. Your love and passion explodes in this training. Not a detail was missed in the manuals. I feel we covered everything effectively and you were always open to stop and discuss questions and ideas that arised along the way. I have done a few yoga trainings and this felt safe and warm and I truly looked forward to each day. I loved how well we were taken care of with tune ins, breath, and meditation. Truly grateful for this experience. Excited to be part of the Grounded Kids community.
Build Children Up
The Grounded Kids program is a gift. Using accessible language and speaking to children like they are capable helps them to feel confident and self-assured. The poses and foundations build children up in a way not typically found today.
Authenticity & Depth
This training blew me away with its authenticity and depth of content! I was impressed by the solid foundation of yogic philosophy and the seamless integration of traditional yogic practice into an accessible and thorough curriculum for kids..
Improved My Adult Teaching Skills
Grounded Kids Yoga is one of the best teacher trainings that I’ve completed. Children learn to connect their mind, heart, and body through yoga asanas, breath, chants, mudras, games, and art. The program goes into so much depth but on a fundamental level that children can connect and understand. I hope their passion for bringing this program into schools and communities continues to spread. I’m very excited to be a part of this movement. On a final note, I feel by completing this program I also improved my teaching skills for working with adults.
Well Planned & Fun
I think the intensive was very informative, very well planned, and very fun. The information was presented in a non-threatening format that was relatable and easy to understand. Sedef was an awesome teacher guiding us to work with younger children and special needs students. Amy was phenomenal teaching concepts that were sometimes difficult to understand. Her style of providing examples and allowing us to develop our own examples allowed us to own our own learning and make it a part of our own lives. They did an awesome job teaching us the poses along with alternatives.
Lesson Planning Guidance
Excellent materials. Creative names of poses with playful add-on’s. Amazing lesson planning guidance and practice. This was an excellent training incorporating principles of neuroscience, yoga philosophy, anatomy and education. I cannot wait to use what I’ve learned in my clinical practice with children.
They Are Only A Call Away
Very grateful for the training certification I have earned at Grounded. They are always an email or a phone call away to help or answer questions.
On The Forefront of Kids Yoga
Grounded Kids Yoga is a groundbreaking training on the forefront of Kids Yoga, from 3 to 18 years old. It creates a strong foundation for a lifetime love of yoga and interconnectivity of ALL beings. It has already begun a powerful transformation in the schools where I teach and in my own family. This has been the MOST impactful yoga training of my career and I would highly recommend it to anyone considering teaching kids (of all ages), family and prenatal yoga.
How To Lead & Listen
The balance between structure and freedom in this program is what makes it so special. You leave knowing how to lead, but also how to listen. That’s what kids really need.
Belief In Children
I attended other kids yoga trainings before completing the 95-hour training with Grounded. What I loved about Grounded is their belief that children are interested in learning about yoga and their focus on the Chakras and on teaching yoga to children in an experiential way.
Very Unique Yoga Games
The program is SO well executed and the supporting materials are absolutely stunning and far beyond what I expected to receive. I also loved the group teaching, the only way to learn this is to practice. Finally, it was FUN playing the very unique yoga games..
I Have Something Real To Offer
This was truly life changing. I’ve done many hours of yoga training over the years but nothing has helped me feel as prepared and supported as this. It made me feel like I had something real to offer.
Even Over Zoom
Your personalities and ways to connect with us even over zoom felt so warm, welcoming and personal. I didn’t feel as if I’d missed out because it wasn’t in person.
Practical, inspiring, and deeply knowledgeable
Grounded Kids Yoga is one of the best teacher trainings I’ve attended. The instructors are deeply knowledgeable, and the experience is both practical and inspiring.
What an amazing and life-changing journey
One Sunday in May after a Kundalini yoga class I overheard a discussion between the yoga teacher and other students about an upcoming Grounded kids teacher training. It got my attention when I heard that one section of the training covers Special needs kids & teens. I thought the learning may be helpful to my own nephew who has different abilities. I decided to take the training regardless of not being a school teacher nor a yoga teacher. What an amazing and life changing journey it has been during the 10 days attending a Grounded Kids Teacher Training Intensive.
Thanks for this life gift
I learned so much about yoga, my body, children, and how to teach them. The flow of the training was good and the instructors are very knowledgeable and informative. I enjoyed this experience. Thanks for this life gift.
From nervous novice to real yoga teacher
This training was superb!! As a total novice, I had no idea what to expect. I almost talked myself out of even registering out of the fear of the unknown. But, I am so glad that I came. Amy’s energy is amazing (kind, warm, sincere) and it helped calm my nerves many times. The materials and illustrations are amazing. I think all the creativity that went into the drawings, the names of the poses will really resonate with children and I can’t wait to become a real yoga teacher, not instructor per Ms. S. 🙂 Sedef is amazing and adorable. I really enjoyed the laughter yoga teachings she provided, I didn’t know that was a thing! Thank you so much for this experience!!
A well-balanced training with heart
I loved the flow of the training. I appreciate the thoughtful design, poses, philosophy, practice, games, lesson planning and support for our part of the GK class. The thoughtful and informative feedback was well balanced and given with love toward our growth by Amy and Sedef. Thank you for your light you are shining into the world.
I Felt Supported & Inspired
I traveled from California to attend the summer intensive in Georgia in 2019. Amy was wonderful about answering all my questions over the phone and email about the training and also the logistics of getting there. I loved how this training made it accessible to teach kids real yoga beyond just the poses and also blended different styles of yoga. The intensive was well planned out and the energy and heart that Amy and Sedef brought made me feel supported and inspired throughout the two weeks. I would definitely recommend this training to anyone considering teaching kids. Not only did it make me feel prepared to teach real yoga to kids, but it was a great addition to my 200 hr and 300 hr trainings and I’ve brought some of the things I’ve learned through Grounded Kids into my adult classes as well.
All Just Right
The way you guys explained the material, and went over chakras and elements, was just right. The packet of materials and resources that you sent ahead of time is perfect to help us along the way after the training. It helps to have all the tools so well organized to start off a new phase in life without feeling intimidated.
Very Useful Materials
What a great program! The materials are well thought out and very useful to teachers and students.
Priceless Connections
The connections you foster through these trainings are priceless. It was an honor and a privilege getting to know both of you, and the fellow trainees.
Supportive feedback every step of the way
The training was such a supportive experience. The feedback was honest but never harsh, and I felt seen and encouraged every step of the way. I’ve taught for 12 years and this was one of the best trainings I’ve done.
Highly Recommend This Training
This training was absolutely amazing. It was so comprehensive, fun, organic and detailed. Sedef and Amy were extremely knowledgeable, constructive and authentic. I would highly recommend this training for anyone wanting to do yoga with kids. I am so grateful for this experience.
Excited To Step Out Of My Box
This class has been one of the best experiences in Life. Amy, your clarity and direction definitely shined through. Sedef, you have brought the positive energy that touched all of us. I will recommend this class to others for finding their inner self and voice. I am excited to step out of my box and start teaching. Thank you!
The first training that truly prepared me to teach kids
I had taken two other kids yoga trainings before this, and neither left me feeling ready. This one gave me the clarity, tools, and confidence I was missing. Thank you.
Phenomenal Instructors
Loving, safe and secure learning environment with phenomenal instructors!
A rare mix of structure and soul
What a great program! The materials are well thought out and very useful to teachers and students.
The missing piece in my yoga education
I’ve done 200hr and 300hr yoga trainings and still didn’t feel ready to teach kids. This filled in all the gaps. I finally feel like I have a structure that works and a philosophy that makes sense.
Teachers, Not Instructors
Love, Love Love this program! What struck me the most was how Amy & Sedef come from the heart. You feel their love for the practice and the passion they carry in sharing yoga with others. They speak as teachers to their students and not as instructors. Two amazing teachers, one amazing program.
Nothing else made me feel this prepared
This was truly life-changing. I’ve done many hours of yoga training over the years but nothing has helped me feel as prepared and supported as this. It made me feel like I had something real to offer.
A real career builder — beyond my Expectations
The Grounded Kids Yoga Teacher Training Program gave me all of the tools to work with diverse populations of kids and teens. The instruction was clear, generous and enthusiastic. The curriculum is intelligent and beyond my expectations. It is a real career builder and there is a great need for teachers who have trained with Grounded.
Trauma-informed and emphasized again and again
I think the intensive was very informative, very well thought out. I loved the fact that it’s trauma-informed and that was emphasized again and again. That’s what I wanted. I really enjoyed the whole thing.
I truly believe in this work
I am so thankful to have found Grounded Kids Yoga and this training. I truly believe in this work and want to share it with everyone I can.
Didn’t Want It To End
The techniques and skills are things I will take off the mat and use in all my classes! I wish the training was even longer.
