"I completed my children’s yoga training in 2020 with young yoga masters. Since then I have been gradually teaching children in summer camps, daycare centres and running my own after school yoga program. The courses offer a wealth of teaching material, resources and very effective lesson plans. Aruna continues to support me on my teaching journey offering advice and support. I have recently found new weekly teaching opportunities in local Montessori schools and I am very excited as my business grows. Thank you for creating this amazing course. "

"Take the class. That’s what I would say for real. It’s been a great class. So I encourage you all to take the class. Research if you want, but take my advice, take the class. It’s a lot of fun, very interactive. Aruna is very heartfelt in the passion that she has for children’s yoga and very knowledgeable. She has over 20 years of experience and you can tell. She’s also very personable. And it’s amazing to come to class with other yoga students with different backgrounds. So I really appreciate it and I encourage you all to take the class."

"I would say go for it. You won't regret a moment. And you'll learn so much, it's unbelievable. The amount of information and the tips along with so much fun, and it was practical, hands-on. And the information, all the information you provided. The manuals, they are so valuable! If you printed just the manuals, you can really learn from that and use that in your teaching."
