Teacher Training
If sharing yoga with all ages is something you aspire to, especially the challenge and joy of teaching children, then Gecko Yoga can help add this inspiring and useful string to your teaching bow.
Gecko Yoga arranges teacher training to provide the skills, knowledge and experience necessary for teaching pre- and post-natal yoga, yoga for infants and yoga for children from toddlers to teens – ultimately yoga for the whole family.
Spending time with our children is another gift – a gift that gives both ways. Gecko Yoga offers workshops and classes for parents and their children, from three-hour introductory ‘taster’ sessions to three-day Radiant Child Yoga Level 1 & 2 Programs. Workshops can be tailor made to suit group or individual needs.

Additional resources are offered for teaching mobile babies from 9 to 18 months. The course also includes further knowledge on babies’ brain development and particularly on the importance of correct stimulation of the vestibular system. A deeper understanding of affect regulation is presented to highlight the potential contribution that baby yoga can make to enhance or repair affective communication between parents and babies through playful interaction. Additional techniques for teaching joint relaxation for parent and baby together are taught to help release parental tension.
