What is KAY4ALL?
Kidding Around Yoga For All | A Resource Guide for inclusivity and social justice
We are committed to increasing inclusivity and interest in a socially just world. Our hope is that the content of this course will allow you to show up to a variety of settings in a way that fosters that mission.
We encourage everybody to spend some time in self-reflection to work with the injustices inherent in our societal framework.
This course is full of information to expand your perspective about people of all nations, races, languages, religions, spiritual traditions, economic backgrounds, political views, ages, genders, sexual orientations, sexual preferences, mental, physical, and conceptual abilities, body sizes, and more!
Please note, this course was originally written for our Kids Yoga teachers, however, the content is powerful for ALL.
This 4-6 hour online training will not CERTIFY you to become a Kids Yoga instructor, but will give you a strong foundation in understanding diversity and inclusivity which will help you make your spaces safe and a welcoming place for ALL.
What will I learn?
What is diversity?
What are microaggressions and how do they affect ourselves and our students?
How do we work with bias?
The connection between diversity, inclusivity, and the Yoga Sutras.
More information to connect with all races, nationalities, genders, sexual orientations, sexual preferences, economic backgrounds, political views, religious and spiritual traditions, body sizes, mental, physical, and perceptual abilities.
How to continue your exploration of your own relationship to bias and diversity.
Who is this course for?
We feel that education about issues of diversity and creating safe and welcome spaces for others, regardless of who they are or how they appear is a powerful for all humans.
How does KAY4ALL work?
You will move through the lectures covering all of our topics from reflection to self-assessment to explanations of terms. You will complete a lecture in order to unlock the following lectures. You can return to any completed lecture at any time and you will not lose your place. If you happen to leave the program during your training, fear not. KAY4ALL 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 videos and articles to reference and enrich your knowledge. At the end you will be given your certificate to download, and you will be prepared to incorporate KAY4ALL into your classes and communities.

- Take a Kidding Around Yoga (KAY) 2 day LIVE training.
- Take our Virtual Path Certification training
- Or take our Online Path Certification training.
