Trainings
With the skills and tools learned at our GFY workshops and trainings, you will be able to support the children in your community and your home move into a state of balance. Balanced health, balanced perspective, and balanced mind.
Our programs are based on the understanding that each individual has different needs and interests. We offer a variety of experiences from part-day workshops to eight-day intensives with options in between. Whether you’re looking for an introduction to the benefits of yoga for children, or a 200-hour certification – we have a program for you.
Certification Program
In order to offer the most flexibility for those interested in obtaining a teacher’s training certificate focusing on children and families, Global Family Yoga offers three approaches.
1) Weekends –This is the most flexible option. You will complete nine 20-hour weekend sessions, plus 20 hours of independent study. Each session is integrative and complementary to the others so you can take them in any order that fits your schedule (with the exception of the Yoga Lab which requires at least two prior weekends as a prerequisite). Check the calendar to see a list of upcoming classes.
Price: $425 per session - $396 when registering more than 14 days prior (30 days for locations outside of the US)
2) 8-day Intensives –
We also offer a series of two 8-day intensives as an alternative to the weekend trainings. If you have a more open schedule and a desire to accelerate the certification process – this is the route for you! Each session provides 80 training hours. The 20-hour Yoga Lab is taken after the completion of either of the 8-day intensives and fulfills the 180 hours of contact required for registration with the Yoga Alliance. The curriculum is the same as that covered in the weekend sessions.
Price: $1395 per session - $1295 when registering more than 21 days prior (30 days for locations outside of the US)
3) Combination –
Enjoy the best of both paths. We’ll work with you to plan your curriculum to include one of the 8-day intensives and 5 of the weekend sessions. You’ll benefit from some of the time and cost savings of the more intense program and still have lots of flexibility to ensure the program fits your lifestyle.
Price: will vary depending on early registration for the various sessions and other discounts that may apply.
A 20-hour independent practicum is an important requirement of the program, whichever path you take. This is your chance to reflect on your personal yoga practice, philosophy, lifestyle and ethics. The skills and techniques you have learned will be put into action as you facilitate classes in your community. You will be personally mentored by our training director throughout this process.
Price: $75
Our Director of Training is available to match your needs/interests with the most appropriate course(s) and to guide you through the certification process. Please don't hesitate to contact us with any questions.
