Yoga Child Certification
This means that you have
completed the necessary requirements to be recognized as a Yoga
Child Yoga Instructor and that you are qualified to teach the requisite yoga program and that you
will receive a certificate of completion from Yoga Child. It also means that
any hours completed can be applied as credit hours towards your
200hr or 500hr Yoga Alliance registration or as continuing education hours with the Yoga Alliance.
Yoga Alliance Registration
The yoga Alliance is a body of yoga teachers and professionals that have established standards to ensure saftey and professionalism among yoga teachers. They are a relatively new body and as such they have not yet developed standards for many different kinds of training programs including Children's yoga, prenatal yoga and yoga babies.
Yoga Child's training programs have been in place before the establishment of the Yoga Alliance. Yoga Alliance is expected to create and release standards for Children's yoga Schools and Prenatal yoga schools in 2009. At that time all Yoga Schools with kids and prenatal training programs across the country will be permitted to apply to become Registered Yoga Alliance schools of Children's Yoga and prenatal yoga. Yoga Child will apply at that time and anticipates approval as a registered Yoga Alliance School of Children's yoga and Prenatal yoga. Once approved, any graduates of the Yoga Child Teacher Training programs who have completedthe requisite Yoga Alliance hours will be recognized as Yoga Alliance Registered teachers of Children's yoga and or prenatal yoga.
Until such time as Yoga Alliance releases its standards, it is important for you to know that any and all training hours completed in our Yoga Child programs hours are currently applicable as credit hours towards your 200 or 500hr Yoga Alliance Registration or as continuing education hours as Yoga Child's programs are all taught by Yoga Alliance recognized educators who are at the ERYT 200 or 500 levels.
