Yoga Teacher Training for Children: Trauma-Informed

Join us for Yoga Teacher Training (YTT) and become a Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT) with Edge Yoga School & Arts, a Registered Yoga School (RYS) with Yoga Alliance. The course is 95 hours in length, and students must hold the RYT 200 or be concurrently enrolled in the Edge Yoga School to attend.

This program is trauma-informed, and so it is a long program built to span over ten months, due to the required reading. If you are interested in an express training, please visit our website at edgeyogaschool.com to begin a conversation with Michelle via CHAT.

Mastery through Studentship: Sangha Labs

Students will have eighteen months to complete the training. Lessons will be available in person, as well as interactive webinars and podcasts. Students may choose which schedule works for them.

Additional locations will become available for make-up sessions, with written approval from Michelle. These venues may include Wheaton and Glen Ellyn.This course was designed to build off your existing knowledge to teach your preferred style of yoga to your chosen age group.

The bedrock of Edge Yoga School was built on practice teaching. Whether you choose to attend the monthly in-person labs, webinars, or submit recordings, your cohort will learn from you, as you learn from each of them.

This program is intended to be a long program, spanning over ten months to ensure time to not only complete the required reading, but also design and deliver classes in our labs.

We will meet ten times to offer ample time to practice teaching your fellow students what you have learned from the required readings, with a focus on each learning objective.

You will need to focus on a select age group for demonstration in our labs. Your fellow classmates will then, in turn, practice teaching their offerings to you. Our sangha (community) will organically share its expertise. In this way, with feedback from Michelle Rae Sobi, you will be able to design effective yoga classes for your chosen age group. We will deepen our understanding of how to apply the eight limbs of yoga in our teaching experience in the sangha.

Students will develop proficiency in each of the topics by attending and presenting in the ten modular labs:
- General Background in the Specialty Area
- Techniques, Training, and Practice
- Teaching Methodology
- Anatomy and Physiology
- Yoga Philosophy, Lifestyle, and Ethics for Yoga Teachers
- Practicum
- Practicum ElectivesStudents will enjoy close mentorship with Michelle Rae Sobi to ensure all students have ample opportunity to teach one another in the scheduled labs.

This is a perfect course for a student who has completed their 200-hour yoga teacher training but would benefit from practical teaching labs.

Welcome to the Edge Tribe! Our Sangha-based learning through community labs awaits you!

Should you need to miss a lab, you may make it up with an online learning, but you will need to submit a recording of your contribution for each section covered, as though you had attended in person.

It is my sincere hope that the time spent between the ten training modules will be dedicated to the required reading. This will allow the much needed time to work in sangha practice, teaching each of the categories of learning on the syllabus. This will be repeated monthly, so you will always know what to expect after your first lab.
