Welcome to the wonderful world of Nesheemah Kids Yoga Teacher Training.


The Nesheemah Kids Yoga Teacher Training (NKYTT) is a 95-hour Yoga Alliance accredited Children's Yoga Teacher Training.   It is based on current cognitive neuroscience research and evidence-based education pedagogy.  NKYTT utilizes the best practices of yoga, mindful education, creative arts and play, precepts of social emotional learning (SEL) and social emotional competency (SEC), and guiding principles of positive psychology.
