Trauma-Informed Youth Yoga: YTT Module TNP Wellness 200-Hour YAECP® Teacher Training

Teaching Kids Is a Different Skill

You know how to teach yoga. But the moment you step in front of a room full of children — especially those carrying stress, trauma, or dysregulation — everything changes. What works for adults rarely works for youth, and winging it isn’t good enough when the stakes are this high.

Most teachers working with young people find themselves:

• Using adult sequences that fall flat or feel inaccessible for younger bodies and attention spans
• Unsure how to make movement genuinely engaging without losing the therapeutic intention
• Lacking trauma-informed language and tools specific to children and adolescents
• Struggling to adapt practices across different ages, abilities, and school or community settings
• Unprepared to hold space for kids who are activated, shut down, or anything in between

Without youth-specific, trauma-informed training, even skilled teachers can unintentionally cause harm — or simply lose the room.

What You’ll Learn in This Module

Led by Galen — Youth Yoga Educator, Trauma-Informed Wellness Specialist, and Mindfulness & Movement Facilitator — this module gives you a practical, compassionate framework for bringing yoga and mindfulness to young people in a way that actually works.

You’ll learn:

• Trauma-informed approaches for working with youth — understanding how adverse experiences show up in the body and the classroom
• Mindfulness and movement tools for emotional regulation — age-appropriate practices that build resilience and self-awareness
• Games, stories, and engaging yoga activities — keeping kids present, safe, and genuinely invested
• Adapting practices for diverse ages, abilities, and settings — from elementary school gyms to community centers to clinical spaces
