In-service Staff Development

Heart Center Yoga offers in-service staff development and teacher training workshops designed for your specific needs. Learn the fundamentals of teaching yoga to children and how to incorporate principles of yoga into your curriculum.

Our teacher training workshops can be designed to last from two hours to a full day, depending on your needs. No prior yoga experience is required. The joy of working with children and the desire to give them the tools necessary to live a well-balanced life is all you need.

The philosophy of this program is based upon Harvard professor Howard Gardner's theory of Multiple Intelligences. Each lesson will teach you to provide opportunities for children to learn through their innate abilities by incorporating bodily movement (postures), music, art, language, math, science, ecology and nature.

We are professional educators with over 25 years of teaching experience. We are also certified YogaKids facilitators and licensed Yoga for the Special Child therapists. Our studio has been featured in Time and Newsweek magazine, Chicago Sun Times, Tribune, Chicago Parent, Pioneer Press, and Yoga Chicago newspapers. Chicago Magazine, has endorsed us as "Best Yoga for Children". We have also appeared on Evanston Cable Television and NBC News, Art Norman's Chicago.

We are passionate about our commitment to bringing the gift of yoga to children. Please contact us to set up your in-service staff development workshop today!
