Yes, our training gives you professional Cosmic Kids certification to teach kids yoga and is recognised by many insurers and employers around the world, but it is not a specific Yoga Alliance RCYT 95-hour qualification. Cosmic Kids training can also count towards Yoga Alliance Continuing Education hours for eligible registered yoga teachers once full certification has been completed.
What qualification will I receive? #
Getting Started in Kids Yoga is our online foundation course for people who want to teach safe, inspiring story-based kids yoga. To receive full certification, you complete the course and submit a video of yourself teaching the class provided. Jaime assesses your teaching against our certification criteria and gives you supportive one-to-one video feedback. If you meet the required standard, we issue your personalised Cosmic Kids certificate.
Can I use it to teach professionally? #
Yes. Our certification is designed to help you teach kids yoga professionally and can be shown to schools, preschools, venues and insurers as evidence of the training and practical assessment you have completed. More than 5,000 people have taken our foundation training, and our certified teachers are teaching children in many different countries and settings.
Is it Yoga Alliance accredited? #
No. We have not registered the course as a Yoga Alliance Registered Children’s Yoga School programme, so it does not give you the RCYT designation. You do not normally need an RCYT qualification to teach kids yoga professionally. What schools and insurers usually want to see is good training, appropriate insurance and any safeguarding or background checks required where you live.
What about Continuing Education hours? #
Cosmic Kids training can count towards Yoga Alliance Continuing Education hours for eligible registered yoga teachers once full certification has been completed. This is separate from RCYT accreditation.
