Our certification equips educators, therapists, parents, and yoga teachers with everything needed (rich resources, trauma-informed curriculum, and practical teaching tools) to confidently teach real yoga and mindfulness to children and teens.

We welcome anyone with an interest in teaching children and do not require any yoga or teaching prerequisites.

Continuing Education Course Menu

All of our training steps count as 22 CEU hours as long as you are not already counting them as hours to earn your 95 hour RCYT.

We are in the process of expanding our online offerings for trainings and workshops. Please join our mailing list to stay up to date!

Read below for the requirements set forth by Yoga Alliance. Since the pandemic, they have approved all online courses to count as contact hours. Every three years starting from your initial date of registration, each RYT and E-RYT must complete and log a minimum of:

  1. 45 hours teaching yoga, and
  2. 30 hours of yoga related training that is directly related to one of our Educational Categories.
  3. Teaching or training hours prior to registration do not count as Continuing Education. If you earn more than the required hours in a three-year period, the extra hours may not rollover into the next three-year period. Continuing Education hours should be spent learning something new, through research, study or experiential learning, rather than synthesizing or processing prior knowledge.
