How can a 200-hour Yoga Teacher Certification help you as a Kids’ Yoga Teacher?
If you want to level up in your kids’ yoga teacher career, you might have considered registering with Yoga Alliance as a Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT).
To register with Yoga Alliance as a RCYT you need these two training requirements:
- 200-Hour Adult Yoga Teacher Certificate (with an RYS)
- 95-Hour Children’s Yoga Teacher Certificate (with an RCYS)
Plus these Teaching Requirements
- Has at least 30 hours of teaching experience in children’s yoga since completing training with an RCYS
You can see by these requirements, you do not need to have your RCYT designation to teach yoga to children. If you did, you’d never be able to get the 30 hours of experience.
People get the RCYT designation for many reasons:
- As a Kids Yoga Teacher, you want to have the most recognized/highest qualifications in the yoga industry,
- You have your 95-Hour Children’s Yoga Teacher Certificate and you want to take more training because you like to learn. So you take a training that will help you up-level your designation to RCYT,
- You have children who are becoming tweens and teens and you see that they are ready for adult style yoga, so you need to know how to deliver these classes,
- You can get a better discount on your insurance by having the RCYT designation,
- You want to become a trainer so you want the designation to open a teacher training school.
Consider the 200 Hour Training
In our August 2022 Free Mini-Training, Claire, Parampreet, I talked about what happens in this training and the doors the 200-Hour Yoga Teacher Training can open for you as a Children’s Yoga Teacher. We will be the lead trainers for the upcoming Certification starting in September.
