More than just Yoga...
Over the past decade, there has been a significant rise in mental health issues in kids and teens. There has also been a noticeable shift in the way that adults attend training courses. For that reason, Inspired Kids Yoga Teacher Training has adapted to meet the needs of this ever changing landscape of Kids Yoga Teacher Training and offers BOTH online and face to face training options to teach you the ancient wisdom of Yoga AND the lessons from modern, behavioural sciences about how to best approach anxiety and dysregulated behaviour.
The inspirational training is a blend of:
💙 Yoga Tools including breathing; meditation; mindfulness; yoga poses (learn which ones to do and which ones to avoid); guided relaxation; therapeutic movements; massage; mindful art & craft
🩵 Yoga Teaching frameworks to give you the confidence to plan engaging classes that weave in the depth of the teachings of Yoga.
💙 Additional training for early childhood; teens; kids with Autism; trauma informed practices; workshops and 1:1 sessions
🩵 Understanding emotional regulation and the way the nervous system responds to stress and anxiety
💙 How children and teens can build emotional intelligence and resilience
🩵 "Educate" sessions to help you understand WHY the tools work
💙 Group discussions; practice teaching and feedback
🩵 Optional additional face to face training to practice teaching the poses; breathing; games and group activities
"The Inspired Kids Yoga Teacher Training has absolutely changed my life.
There is so much wisdom and heart put into the course. I walked away feeling like I was overflowing with knowledge and passion and ideas. The training changed my life in my own yoga practice, my parenting choices, my confidence. Every aspect of my life has had an improvement.
And I credit that to Stacey for reminding me of my unique gifts and my soul's purpose. An absolutely wonderful, informative, inspiring, honest and heartfelt course. Thank you."

About Your Training Facilitator - Stacey
Stacey Louise is one of Australia's most experienced and inspirational Children's Yoga Teachers.
Having always loved being with children, Stacey wanted to be a Kindy or Primary School Teacher, but once she started studying a Bachelor of Education, she found that it wasn't creative enough for her. She changed pathways and completed a Bachelor of Communication instead, which landed her a job working at Network TEN in Children's Television production followed by live to air news production. All the while, Stacey was practicing yoga and teaching group fitness classes before and after work.
Eventually the stress of the TV industry got too much and coupled with a diagnosis of an autoimmune disease, the decision was made to prioritise health.
She started her own business in 2005, teaching Yoga and fitness classes for both adults and children. Since 2012, Stacey has been facilitating Children’s Yoga Teacher Training. The Inspired Kids Training courses are practical, authentic, down to earth and whole-hearted. You will be encouraged to weave your own unique gifts, experiences, values and qualities into your interactions with children.
Over the past two decades, there have been many full circle moments, where the side steps along her career path have been beautifully integrated. For example, Stacey’s first experience of meditation was in a high school drama class- now she gets to teach meditation to school students. Her dream to be a Kindy teacher has turned into her dream job of teaching yoga to kindy aged children and facilitating training for their teachers. Her experience working in TV production and her desire to use the medium of television to educate and inspire kids to move their bodies mindfully, has led to the creation of many videos, TV appearances and online courses. And her greatest legacy is “Calm Fairies” where Stacey used her own experience of enduring hundreds of needles and medical appointments to create a program that helps children in hospital to cope with the stress of medical settings using the tools of Yoga.
Beyond all of her qualifications and achievements, it is Stacey’s passion for holding space and empowering others to find their way ‘home’ to their hearts and their true self that makes her shine the brightest.
