What Our Graduates Have Said
I was blown away at the high level of knowledge displayed and shared around well being for children, including yoga movements that are fun and engaging but also, important language to use to nurture a child yet promote safe boundaries.
Helen’s knowledge of Yoga is nothing short of astounding and this matched with both Helen and Michelle’s passion for kids and their physical and mental well being makes for an incredible training.
I couldn’t possibly recommend this training any more. It is the balance of passion meets education for the greater good of our younger generation.
Emma, Yoga Teacher
Training with Calmer Kids has been an amazing experience for me. On a personal level as it has allowed me to discover my own inner child and has helped me grow as a person in confidence and creativity. Training with Calmer kids has made connecting with children effortless and this has also been very beneficial for me when working with children in healthcare. I also now teach in Kindergartens and have a regular one on one session with a little boy who has ASD and his mum has told me he is getting so much out of our sessions together which focus on emotional regulation and creativity. He always looks forward to our sessions.
Charlie, Health Care Professional & Yoga Teacher
As a yoga lover and someone who works with children, I attended a course with Calmer Kids in February this year.
The course was amazing! Not only have I been able to integrate their teachings into my work with children as a swim teacher, I have also been able to use some of the techniques on my 5 year old daughter. The impact on her has been huge. She is a very emotional child who can be challenging to calm at times. The breathing exercises we do together have really assisted in bringing her back down from her often quite heightened state.
Both Helen and Michelle are so passionate about this cause. They have been great leaders, teachers and mentors.
