The Yoga Bananas Technique®
A fulfilling, creative and vocational course. The Yoga Bananas Technique™ is a unique Children's Yoga Teacher Training Course offering an alternative way of building a child's confidence akin to performing and creative arts, but by the very nature of yoga and its roots within the sacred Indian tradition, it also offers a child the opportunity to explore their intuitive nature and spirituality.
The course is run by founder Vicky 'Skip' Oliver, Dip Physical Theatre, BA English, MA Creative Writing and yoga teacher and trainer since 1998. The course involves 3 intensive days of practical work in a studio and a school. There is a maximum of 2 - 5 places on each course as Yoga Bananas would like each trainee to complete the course feeling fully confident and inspired. Yoga Bananas also gives you access to an insurance policy with a preferential rate and great cover (non-commissioned).
This certificated training course will prove invaluable to yoga teachers and yoga teacher trainees. The course is also open to non yoga teachers who have a sound knowledge of yoga asana. You can earn Yoga Alliance Continuing Education Credits with this course if you are already a registered teacher with this organisation.
The course work is constantly being updated and expanded to explore the benefits of teaching yoga to children. The theoretical manual now exceeds 12,000 words and the poses manual now has illustrations of 200 unique Stick- Kids™ designed by Yoga Bananas in-house design team OneLongHum.
