Refine Your Teaching, Include Creativity & Family Yoga

Kids yoga teacher leads a group of children and adults practicing together in a studio during Step 3 training

Step 3 strengthens your ability to teach real yoga in real time, not from a script, but from skill. You’ll learn to recognize the five universal elements in yourself and your students, and how to teach on the level of energy so that they feel seen and supported. This training helps you shift from trying to control behavior to guiding energy. That’s the core of our Elemental Conduct™ classroom management strategy: reading the room, noticing what’s needed, and offering practices that bring students into balance. You’ll refine how you use voice, breath, language, and pacing to lead a group while staying connected to each child.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Systematically refine your teaching skills.
  • Learn how to harness the power of each of the 5 elements to polish your own practice and teaching delivery.
  • Expand your understanding of each part of a Grounded Kids lesson plan.
  • Experience the elements of a lesson plan in action – teach, reflect and refine.
  • Create themes that inspire and motivate students of all ages and abilities.
  • Go deeper into the Grounded Kids 11 essential alignment actions.
  • Explore effective sequencing and smooth transitioning.
  • Elevate your classes by effectively including literature, art, music and more.
  • Discover what it means for you to teach with finesse and authenticity.
  • Fine tune observation skills, teach to what you see, and learn the art of effective verbal adjustments.
  • Create and teach a dynamic Family Yoga class.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to take Steps 1 and 2 before Step 3?

The Steps are best taken in order because each builds on the last, but they aren't required in strict sequence — you can start with Step 3 if it fits your schedule. Step 3 focuses on refining your teaching, working with the five elements, and our Elemental Conduct™ classroom-management approach.

Is Step 3 offered online or in person?

Both. You can join live on Zoom with a cohort or attend in person at our Alpharetta, GA studio. Online participants have their materials mailed to them, so you're fully equipped either way.

How long is Step 3 and when does it meet?

Step 3 is 22 training hours held over a single weekend — Friday evening through Sunday late afternoon. You'll find current dates in the registration section below.

Does Step 3 count toward certification and CEUs?

Yes. The four Steps together make up our 95-hour certification, which is registered with Yoga Alliance for the 95-hour RCYT (Registered Children's Yoga Teacher) designation. Training hours also count toward CEUs and PLUs for educators and therapists, with graduate-level credit available through Courses4Teachers.
