Yoga classes for children are not at all what you would expect in an adult class...

Yoga and Mindfulness for children is filled with games, songs, stories, imaginative play, and activities that engage children and give them the tools to feel calmer, happier, and more peaceful inside! It is meant to be fun!

Halley Firstenberg’s classes deliver on the fun while providing the strategies kids need to build resilience, adapt and promotes self-esteem, courage, a healthy body and a calm, confident mind.

Testimonials

  • I am a child psychologist in private practice. I thought taking a class on how to teach yoga to young children would aid me in helping others in a different way than my psychological training. Halley’s class was a great experience! She made it experiential and accessible to someone like me, who comes from outside the yoga training world. I learned some new ways to incorporate mindfulness into my psychology practice. It was a lot of fun! I would highly recommend this training to other mental health professionals who work with children and families.

  • Halley provided extensive examples of age appropriate activities and engaging lessons for our targeted age group. She continues to network and share opportunities within the community after the training. This experience is extremely beneficial for yoga instructors, educators and anyone interested in working with children!

  • I highly recommend littleOMie Kids Yoga Teacher Training. I have been teaching kids yoga using the method and tools I learned since almost immediately after completing the training. It has allowed me to build classes that are well-rounded, educational and SO MUCH FUN! The kids I teach absolutely love learning about yoga and can't wait to come back. Not only that, Halley continues to stay in touch, offering advice and continued job opportunities.

  • Halley has encouraged and inspired me to go further in my yoga journey and learn how to teach kids yoga. Her children’s program was insightful and full of rich content. She created an environment where I felt seen and heard and made it fun at the same time. Halley has continued to support me even after my kids yoga certification was complete. I’ve reached out several times since our training with random questions and she’s promptly responded and continued to provide valuable feedback. She’s a wonderful human, teacher, friend and resource!

  • I am glad that I have Halley's Kids Yoga Teacher Training in my tool belt. She gave us a lot of great games and activities to engage the kids with, but the things that have stuck with me the most are the rules and guidelines that go along with working with children. This is priceless information that every yoga teacher should be aware of. Halley's training was fun and efficient and two years later she is still available to me if I have any questions or concerns regarding a class.

  • Halley F. created a Yoga and Mindfulness Program for CMSD's Early Childhood Development (Ages Pre-K / Kindergarten). This program allowed the children to explore movement and breathe in a fun and supportive environment while implementing strategies to support self-regulation, increased focus and a greater connection to their peers. Halley and her staff were very professional, and our educators were happy to have this yoga program as part of our summer school program.
