Join master Kids Yoga teacher Brandi Allen for the first formalized Kids Yoga Teacher Training (KYTT-certified) program in Utah. Brandi has been teaching children for 20 years and is recognized as one of the top kids yoga instructors in the state. We are thrilled to offer this amazing opportunity to the community of teachers, parents, and those who desire to share the gift of yoga with children.
Brandi completed her studies in Elementary Education at the University of Utah in 1991. She currently teaches at a Montessori school. In addition to her regular teaching schedule, Brandi also has developed the Kids Yoga Teacher Training at We Are Yoga in hopes that more children will have the opportunity to develop the many life skills that yoga has to offer.
The KYTT is for people interested in bringing Kids Yoga to their classroom, and for families wishing to incorporate family yoga at home or their neighborhood.
