KIDS YOGA TEACHER TRAINING
Oct. 20 - Dec. 8
"This training gave me an endless toolbox of fun and creative ways to share yoga with kids" CO 2017
"A phenomenal way to learn how to teach kids yoga, as the approach to teaching kids is so different than with adults. With the Om Ananda training, you not only learn the knowledge and reasoning behind the skills to teach kids, but you're inspired by the unique approach the teacher trainers take in sharing their background, knowledge, and experience with kids and kids yoga. I highly recommend this training, as you will leave with a toolkit of games, themes, and sequences to teach kids of all ages, including those young at heart! KSR 2019

Chantel is a Colorado native and received her associates degree from FRCC and bachelors degree from CSU in Fort Collins. She took her first yoga class in 2005 and has been practicing yoga since. When at a Mommy & Me class with her daughter she had an “aha moment” and decided now was the time to pursue yoga teacher training! Fall of 2017 Chantel received her 200 hour certification from Om Ananda Yoga, a ShambhavAnanda Yoga affiliate. In pursuance of her new found passion to learn about the many aspects of yoga, she continued with the 300 hour certification and graduated in December 2018 as a RYT-500. Chantel became a certified Children’s Yoga Teacher in the summer of 2019 as she truly believes all ages can benefit physically, mentally and spiritually from yoga. She is honored to be a part of the yoga teacher trainings at Om Ananda Yoga.
