 Feedback on Children’s Yoga Tree Advanced Training from Students

‘Thank you Emma and Siobhan for the great online Advance Teaching Training course! It was a lot to digest, but so grateful for being taught by two brilliant teachers. You have so much knowledge and experience, and also your approaches are different, which makes the whole course very versatile.’’ Nikoletta



“I am ever so grateful to Emma and Siobhan for sharing their knowledge, expertise and passion with other kids yoga teachers. The advanced kids yoga teacher course was very thorough, covered every possible angle and took me to a new level of teaching.

Every time I do a course or stand alone workshop with Children's Yoga Tree I get a new surge of inspiration that translates into my own teaching and the way I can continue to inspire kids and their parents to join me on this yoga journey. There was so much there to take in, digest and learn from. I also feel much more equipped now to start teaching yoga to kids with special needs. It doesn't feel daunting any more as I have a better understanding of conditions and their specific needs and numerous tools up my sleeves. I specifically enjoyed Yoga Nidra part of the course and will definitely continue further exploration. “
