Become a Yoga Mentor

Crescent MoonWe are inviting yoga teachers to join our Bank of Yoga Mentors to help classroom teachers participate in our second annual Yoga4Kidz Relays for UNICEF igniting Physical Fitness, Mental Fitness, and Social Fitness, culminating on World AIDS Day, December 1.

Registering schools may choose A, B, or both.

  1. Schools may choose to participate on December 1 for a Day of Compassion utilizing the Compassion Flow and the booklet on Compassion.

    Yoga mentors will be participating and helping with the organization of this day and will receive a copy of the Compassion package.

  2. Schools may choose to apply to field test the materials which include the Yoga4Kidz resource booklets on Compassion, Giving, Patience, and Focus.

    Yoga mentors will help the classroom teachers teach the four universal values using the asana flows, mudras, and raps provided. The four booklets will be sent to the yoga mentors and classroom teachers.

A yoga mentor is a yoga teacher who volunteers to be the bridge between the Yoga4Kidz resources, and the schools who are using them and the yoga studios represented by the mentors.  Their role includes creating a sense of comfort for the participating teachers and students so that the material is implemented in a unique way to meet the needs and abilities of the students.

The booklets may be used with all age levels.  An online manual and a podcast is provided which includes instructions for the poses and fine tuning them, mudras, and raps and questions to ask the students.  Information on transitions, yoga principles, the art of breathing for Compassion, Patience, Focus, and Giving, and suggested school activities are also included. Feel free to adapt the material to suit the ages of the students.



Matching Yoga Mentors and Schools

The matching may occur in the following ways:

  1. Check in our online website to be matched with a school.
  2. A list of registered schools will be available online.  Feel free to contact the school to volunteer your services.
  3. Contact a school that you are already affiliated with.
  4. Work with the parents of the children that you know, and team up with the school the children are attending to find out if the school wants to register.
  • WE NEED YOU to help introduce yoga or work with elementary and high school teachers who are bringing yoga to students, staff, and interested parents.
  • YOU CAN HELP YOUNG PEOPLE realize their potential to be a positive force in community leadership, global citizenship, and international kinship.

Thank you in advance for your support!
