Why should you train with us?
Hands-on Teaching Experience
At Yoga for Kids Bali, we offer a unique opportunity for participants to gain hands-on teaching experience at Sunrise School Bali, a holistic educational institution nestled in Bali’s serene natural environment. Over the past five years, our team has closely collaborated with this school, witnessing and contributing to the remarkable benefits of integrating movement and mindfulness in education. Our Workshop for Educators is designed to transform your teaching approach. In this program, you’ll learn how to empower students with effective coping skills that extend beyond the classroom, master classroom management tools that benefit both educators and learners, and implement constructive alternatives to traditional punitive actions. We focus on building a stronger, more compassionate community and integrating movement into learning to enrich curriculum content. This approach not only enhances student engagement but also fosters greater creativity, confidence, and self-expression. Join us in this transformative journey at Yoga for Kids Bali, where you can make a significant impact on the educational experience and the lives of children.
Connecting to the Natural World
Our Yoga for Kids Bali teacher training uniquely incorporates aromatherapy workshops and permaculture trails, emphasizing a holistic approach to children’s yoga education. Partnering with Alam Farma, we offer an immersive Aromatherapy and Essential Oils workshop that goes beyond the exploration of scents. This sensory experience allows educators to understand and utilize the calming and therapeutic benefits of natural aromas in a yoga setting, enhancing the overall experience for children.
Moreover, the training includes a visit to the Permaculture Trail at Serenity Yoga, where we delve into the principles of permaculture and its connection to Bhakti yoga. This exploration emphasizes the profound relationship between sustainable living, spiritual devotion, and our natural environment. By understanding these connections, educators can impart valuable lessons on environmental stewardship and the importance of nature in our lives.
These elements are integral to our training because they align with the core values of holistic education and wellness for children. By introducing future yoga teachers to these concepts, we aim to equip them with a broader range of tools and knowledge. This not only enriches their teaching practices but also helps in connecting children with nature, fostering a deeper appreciation and understanding of the world around them. The use of aromatherapy and permaculture in our training reflects our commitment to providing a comprehensive and enriching learning experience that extends beyond traditional yoga teaching methods.
Making a Difference
At Yoga for Kids Bali, we believe in making a tangible difference in our community, especially since we are part of the vibrant tapestry that makes up the island. Our mission extends beyond creating a safe and nurturing environment for children to learn and grow within our programs. We are deeply committed to contributing to the broader community, particularly in supporting the development and welfare of children outside our immediate reach.
In line with this commitment, we have pledged to donate 10% of the profits from our training programs to the Matahari Terbit Center (MTC). This contribution is our way of supporting their invaluable work in providing a conducive and supportive space for the growth and development of children. By aligning with MTC, we aim to extend our impact and help foster environments where children can thrive, not just within our classes but in the wider community as well.
This initiative reflects our core belief that being involved and giving back to our community is essential. We see this as an integral part of our role on the island – to not only educate and nurture through our programs but also to contribute meaningfully to the lives of children in the broader community. Through this support, we hope to make a lasting and positive difference in the lives of many children, helping to build a stronger, more compassionate future for all.

Yoga has many benefits, including providing a sense of well-being through connection to one’s body, mind, and emotions. When practised in a nurturing non-competitive environment, students learn to express their true selves and become more in tune with themselves, the people around them, and the Earth.
Yoga benefits all children, but some need that little extra attention. Children who have ADD, ADHD, hypersensitivity, or autism are all helped by regular Yoga practice.
