Ready to Stand Out as a Kids Yoga Teacher?

We've done that with kids yoga, and keep doing it, and we'll give you our systems and tools so you can stand out as a kid's yoga teacher.

And did we mention kid's yoga is our specialty?

For over 20 years, we've been taking Kids Yoga to the world at Young Yoga Masters. If you're looking to start teaching kids, or maybe you're already teaching and you're ready to create a sustainable business you can have for years, or decades.

Consider how specialized support could help you reach your goals.

Turn Something you already Believe In and Love into your Business or Side Gig

Whether you've already completed a training or you want to learn to teach kids yoga, this is the place to specialize in the niche of kid's yoga!

The lead trainers at Young Yoga Masters will support you to take something you love and believe in (kids yoga!) and turn it into a legitimate income stream.

Hi! I'm Aruna Kathy Humphrys

In 1998 I graduated from my first yoga teacher training and eventually quit my job to become a full time yoga teacher. I feel so fortunate to have a job I enjoy.

My career has gone from teaching 25 yoga classes a week, branching out to create workshops, retreats, strategic partnerships, and writing manuals and teaching in a Yoga Alliance RYS + RCYS.

I've experienced successes and failures along the way and I want to help you succeed and avoid the mistakes that I made!

Not for you if you want to combine certificates from different schools to get a 95 Hour Certificate because Yoga Alliance doesn't allow that.
