Your learning. Your certificate. Your next step.
Build the skills to bring yoga, play and connection into children's lives. Understand the Rainbow Yoga training pathways, what you complete for your certificate and how professional recognition fits your goals.
Kids yoga certification records your successful completion of a children's yoga teacher training. With Rainbow Yoga, that means completing the published learning and completion requirements for your chosen course. The certificate identifies the training you completed; it is a starting point for explaining your skills to a school, studio, community organisation or insurer.
Our approach is social, playful and creative. You learn to build experiences around movement, stories, games, breathing and relaxation, with space for children to contribute their own ideas. The certificate matters, and so does the practice of becoming a thoughtful, adaptable teacher.
Begin with practical tools for teaching children and families. Level 1 is open to beginners, educators, parents and yoga teachers; no previous yoga teaching qualification is required to enrol.
Explore class planning, games, stories, breathing, relaxation and partner and group yoga. Complete the course requirements for your Rainbow Yoga Level 1 certificate.

See the Full Journey training pathwayLevel 1 Online assessment: complete all lessons and their prompts, answer all 30 exam questions correctly, and submit a themed teaching video with at least two children, your class plan and playlist. The video is approximately 10 minutes and no longer than 20 minutes. Course feedback is also part of completion.
Level 2 Online assessment: complete the lesson prompts and quizzes, submit the required class plans and practice or teaching videos, and give peer feedback where instructed. The team reviews your work and teaching progress before certification.
Planning an RCYT application? Rainbow Yoga’s course instructions require the final assessment class for this pathway to be taught live on Zoom with Gopala attending. Arrange this with the team and check the separate professional-registration requirements.

A Rainbow Yoga course certificate and Yoga Alliance's Registered Children's Yoga Teacher (RCYT) credential are separate. The Full Journey course page explains Rainbow Yoga's training pathway and its Level 2 children's yoga component.
Yoga Alliance's published RCYT standards require a 200-hour training with a Registered Yoga School, a 95-hour training with a Registered Children's Yoga School, registration as a Registered Yoga Teacher, and 30 hours of children's yoga teaching after the children's training. The two trainings may be completed in either order. Registration, fees and acceptance are handled separately by Yoga Alliance.
The 145-hour Full Journey does not replace the separate 200-hour training. If RCYT is your goal, check the current school listing and your eligibility with Yoga Alliance before enrolling. Read the official Yoga Alliance credential standards and use the Yoga Alliance school directory.
Check Rainbow Yoga’s current course recognition directly with Yoga Australia. Course recognition and an individual’s teacher registration are different. Ask how your existing qualifications and chosen training fit its current children’s yoga requirements.
Start with the setting where you want to teach. Schools, studios and community organisations may have requirements for safeguarding, background checks, first aid, qualifications and insurance. Share your exact course title and certificate with the organisation or insurer so they can confirm what they need. Rainbow Yoga training does not create a medical, psychological or allied-health qualification.
You can also explore Additional Needs and Inclusive Kids Yoga training to develop your approach to choice, adaptation and participation within your role.
Yes. Rainbow Yoga offers self-paced online teacher training with course certificates after successful completion of the published requirements. If you prefer learning together in a room, compare the current in-person trainings and their individual formats.
Tell us who you want to teach, any training you have already completed and whether you need a particular professional credential. We can help you choose the relevant Rainbow Yoga course and the documentation to check before you enrol.
