The Super Yoga Kids Instructor Course is a strong foundation to continue my development as an effective kids yoga instructor. It has added depth to my kids classes without sacrificing the fun elements.…Teaching children is such a joy as they don’t judge and can open us to so many new ideas.
The course helped me to understand the feelings and enthusiasm of children better and I am able to manage their emotions according to their needs, and maximise their abilities and talents. I would recommend this course to all, especially parents, teachers and those who want to start a family. Now I understand children as they are.
The SYKIC is so well structured, encompassing a theory portion explaining the effective art of communicating intricacies of Yoga postures to children without compromising its contents. It appeared important that parents are made to understand, Yoga for kids is taught in a playful manner at times, to engage their minds to remain focused while the effects of these postures and other yogic techniques gradually make a difference when practice regularly.
We were given the space and comfort to be sporting, trusting, encouraging, open and creative ~ coupled with Loads of FUN! All of us, who were initially apprehensive about getting down to moving like children, enjoyed the sessions thoroughly as days went by.
Because of the way the class was conducted, coupled with the amazing energy that fellow participants and the teacher contributed, it sparked an Inspiration to do my best in nurturing my dormant potential. Materials created in our required assignments were soon used as practical teaching materials. SYKIC has been about self-acceptance and self-learning, as well as ‘hard-work’ in breaking my mental fatigue then.
The SYKIC sessions were filled with enjoyment and fun! We were trained to be creative and innovative when conducting the Kids Yoga Class and each assignment were presented with creativity coupled with volcanic laughter! Seriousness was present when we discuss about the asanas and theories about child development.
What did I learne from all this? I came to understand that in order to communicate effectively with kids, we have to be like one of them; act like them; think like them and most of all be with them with our purest sincerity.
