Change the World. Teach Yoga to Children.
Think about what your yoga practice has done for your life ...
Now imagine sharing this beautiful practice with a child, and what that will do for their life. Yoga helps children to understand, appreciate and accept their bodies. They learn how to use their breath to calm themselves down, relax and find peace. They learn how to reign in their thoughts and focus only on what they want, when they want. YOU can help bring more peace into the lives of children, and into to the world by learning to teach yoga to children. There has never been a better time.

"Having completed Pam's Peace Play children's yoga teaching certification, all I can say is WOW! From the moment we walked into the room, Pam's animated demeanor rubbed off on all of us, and 10 adults quickly turned from that to being 10 children! The program is organized, well-thought out, and covers every aspect of running a class, choosing the music, adding books, and how to find places to actually teach. Pam taught us all that almost everything can be "yoga" when dealing with kids; down dogs bark, frogs hop, and trees jump! If you love working with children, this is a great addition to any of your teaching tools, whether you bring it into a schoolroom, your own child's life, or an actual yoga class. All of us in my group have been working with children for many years, and I think it is safe to say that each and every one of us came out a better teacher." ~ Lauren G.
"The Peace Play Children's Yoga Teacher training was life changing. The opportunity to learn from Pamela Nixon, not just yoga but philosophy, truly illustrates peace in action. I was honored to participate and I am confident that the children I serve, who have experienced severe trauma, will benefit richly from all I have learned." ~ Nicole E.
Pamela has such enthusiasm for teaching kids yoga. Her ideas for fun, age appropriate games, are endless! She has greatly helped me expand my knowledge in children's yoga." ~ Rachael W.
"A good time was had by all at Pam's workshop. Hours flew by as we played yoga games accompanied by great music. She joyfully taught us how to theme a class and how to structure different types of classes. She demonstrated how to help children explore yoga in a positive and meaningful way. I returned to my own class of preschoolers eager to present yoga to them in new and exciting ways. The children responded enthusiastically as I put what I learned in Pam's workshop into practice. I look forward to more classes under Pam's creative guidance."
~ Sherry F.
Pam's class taught everything from language to actual asana moves to teach children while at the same time keeping their attention. She taught the class pretending that we were the children. We then took turns being the "teacher" in the room. It was a lot fun. Since then I have had the chance to teach a children's yoga class and was able to incorporate all the techniques from class. Pam's class exceeded my expectations and I look forward to teaching my own children yoga very soon." ~ Kristina D.
