Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior yoga or teaching experience to start Step 1?
No prior experience is required. Step 1 is the foundation of the Grounded Kids Yoga certification and begins at the beginning. You will learn the full methodology, our 84 kid-friendly poses, and how child development maps to the chakra system. Classroom teachers, therapists, parents, and current yoga teachers are all welcome.
Is Step 1 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 1 and when does it meet?
Step 1 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.
Do I have to take the four Steps in order?
Step 1 is the recommended starting point because it lays the foundation for everything that follows, but the four Steps don't have to be taken in strict order, so you can start where your schedule allows. Register for each Step individually, or bundle all four upfront to save $300.
What are your payment and refund policies?
Monthly payment plans are available at checkout. Registrations are fully refundable within 3 days of purchase (minus credit card fees); after 3 days you'll receive a credit good toward any training for two years.

Our Graduates Speak For Themselves
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!!
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!
