Light Leaders Yoga

Yoga for children… what a TREAT! I recently took their Teacher Training and both Blair e and Crystal are exquisite teachers! Their experience in working with children is beyond amazing. They bring such a powerful dynamic of two strong and educated female teachers and teacher trainers. I am so grateful to have come across this teacher training program. The knowledge was so extensive and covered any questions or concerns you might have before teaching a child yoga. It is fun, playful and created a safe space for my fellow teacher trainers. I highly recommend to any teachers wanting to pursue a teaching for children.

I absolutely loved this training!
Crystal and Blaire of Light Leaders truly bring «light» to teaching youth yoga.
Whether you have kids of your own or work with kids, it is a wonderful tool to help teach kids about their bodies, emotions, healing, health & wellness. Another great advantage to the program is that they bring in a well respected doctor in western medicine to explain about the physical benefits of the brain, nervous system and the overall health benefits of yoga. No «woo woo,» just clear practical truths. Overall, the classes were fun, informative and inspiring. All other students who attended were amazing and already up to big things and doing good in the world.
I didn’t realize how kids really loooove to do yoga. Each youth yoga class we observed kids were lit up, smiling and excited.
This practice is one of the biggest impacts one could make to support the growth of today’s growing youth.

Such an incredible class. Thank you for all the learning and growth.

I just completed the 3 day teacher training. It was an incredible experience! I learned SO much! I am an elementary school teacher and plan to incorporate what I have learned through Light Leaders right away. This training was so well planned and complete in every way. I highly recommend Light Leaders.

I was interested in taking the Light Leaders workshop in order to pass on the valuable and timeless gifts that yoga has given me to children that I meet, including my nephews. Kids are under more pressure than ever before and are bombarded by electronics, computers and «virtual» society. Yoga teaches them to get back into their bodies, how to relate to their feelings, face and embrace their emotions. Blaire and Crystal have a gift for making the technology of yoga and meditation accessible and fun for kids. I can only imagine how different my life as a child and continuing on into adult hood would have been enhanced by having access to these tools. Regardless if you are a yoga teacher or even want to be one, I urge anyone who has kids, knows kids, is around kids in any capacity to take this workshop. The experience will give you a unique perspective on how to give any child you meet an important tool that will grow with them for the rest of their lives.

I completed the Light Leaders teacher training in 2009 and had a wonderful experience! I now teach a regular family yoga class and Light Leaders prepared me to teach children of ALL ages! Blair and Crystal are quite a team, providing a comprehensive children’s teacher training complete with poses, games, songs, yogic philosophy, and anatomy specific to children’s developing minds and bodies. I highly recommend this training to anyone wishing to teach kids’ yoga or family yoga! Thank you, Light Leaders!

I completed the light leaders teachers training program last year and I haven’t stopped telling people about it! The program is incredibly informative, fun and enlightening. Both leaders, Crystal and Blaire, are truly inspiring. I would highly recommend this program to anyone who loves yoga, loves children, and believes it incredibly necessary if not urgent to spread this practice of peace and inner strength with them.

Thank you Blaire and Crystal!
You are both incredible teachers.
It is amazing to see how happy the children are when they finish taking yoga class.
The best thing that I heard recently from the children was at the Young People’s Workshop last Sunday. A couple of the kids said they had such a great time and one asked, «When are we going to do this again?»
It’s amazing to see how both of you have inspired the love and passion you have for yoga in other children.
Thank you, both! I look up to both of you with the highest respect.

I participated and graduated from the Light Leaders Yoga program at Golden Bridge Yoga last year, and would highly recommend this training for anyone wanting to teach yoga to children. And even if you’re not interested in becoming a yoga teacher, this training would be great for parents, child-​care providers, and school teachers.
The 3-​day (Friday-​Sunday) training was filled with lots of great information, including learning some age-​appropraite games to play with kids, wonderful kundalini yoga kriyas (sets of exercises) and meditations, and simple breath work to help children focus and relax.
Light Leader founders, Blaire & Crystal, are both supportive, friendly and helpful. They gave me lots of room to play and grow my practice while learning about the children we are trained to teach: ages 3 – 12 years.
Shortly after graduating with Light Leaders, I got a job teaching the Sunday morning Children’s Yoga class (for 6 – 12 year olds) at Golden Bridge Yoga in Hollywood!
Thank you Blaire and Crystal for all your LOVE and support! Keep growing, and training teachers so that we can reach all the future yogi’s of the world!

Wow, talk about a life changing experience! Who knew that 3 year old children could even do yoga? This program offers so many helpful and fun techniques for parents, teachers, and anyone who wants to help the children in their lives. We have so much fun playing and actually doing the activities that we feel like kids ourselves. Everyone involved gets in touch with some deep emotions and belief systems, and heals in the process. I love this training and the great connections that I made throughout. There’s nothing else like this!
