How to teach anatomy to children
All ages are covered in this training. No two people are alike at the same age. So this training covers anatomy from birth through adulthood with a focus on the changes that happen throughout. Heck, your bones aren't finished ossifying til you're 25-30 years old!
Who is this course for?
This program is for anyone who wants to learn more about the science behind how yoga works inside the bodies of your young students. While designed for children's yoga teachers, this online training is for parents, gym teachers and anyone who wants to learn more about the anatomy of a child's body in a Yogic way. You do not need to be a certified KAY instructor to benefit from this!
How does KAY-natomy work?
There are 8 modules containing 30+ units covering all of our topics from anatomical development to the body's systems to what part of the body is used in each pose. You will have access to the entire training and can complete it in any order you wish. Your progress and grade is tracked as you move through the training. You can return to any completed lesson at any time. The program will not lose your place. If you happen to leave the program during your training, fear not. KAY-natomy will always know exactly where you left off. And all links in the training will open up a new tab or window, so don't be afraid to click. There will be a lot of photos and short videos teaching different components with children and lectures. At the end you will be given your certificate to download, and you will be prepared with the knowledge to take your children's yoga classes to a whole new level.
