SEE LOCATION, SCHEDULE & FEESIn today’s fast-paced world, children’s mental health and emotional well-being are increasingly at risk. Do you feel called to make a positive difference by empowering children & youth to manage stress, stay calm, and build emotional resilience?
Creative Yogis, a Registered Children’s Yoga School (RCYS) and Continuing Education Provider approved by Yoga Alliance USA, offers you the chance to do just that. Led by Karen Wightman, a passionate and dedicated yoga and mindfulness educator, Creative Yogis celebrates the uniqueness of each child. By studying with Karen, you can become a certified Registered Children’s Yoga Teacher (RCYT), inspiring and engaging children of all ages and abilities safely, meaningfully and appropriately in a variety of settings.
Creating a safe space for children to express their feelings fosters emotional intelligence, self-regulation and self-awareness. It supports anxiety management, promotes kindness, and aids in behaviour management. By empowering children and families with the holistic skills of yoga and mindfulness, we help them thrive and become compassionate, empathetic individuals.
Why choose this training?
The 95-hour Children’s Yoga Teacher Training (RCYT) offers a comprehensive and experiential learning programme that blends theory, practice and discussions. Conducted in a relaxed, fun and student-centred environment, it inspires creative learning.
Divided into two modules, the training spans 10 days with full attendance required for certification. Participants will receive detailed manuals, webinars and resources. In addition, trainees will be invited to join a private group and global community of teachers to receive ongoing support.
Invite little yogis ages 2-8 and their families to explore their bodies through simple breathing practices, mindful movement, dance, play, mindfulness, songs, stories, creativity, and family yoga.
Continue the journey with our pre-teens (ages 9-12) and teens (ages 13-18) during this transformative period. Support them with postures, breath awareness, mindfulness and meditations. Engage them with challenges, games, reflective activities, creative self-expression and deep relaxation to foster self-awareness.
Guide them to discover their inner peaceful, resilient and brave warrior, equipping them with skills to navigate the often-bumpy road to young adulthood. Offer support with kindness, gentle humour, authenticity and deep compassion.
Please note: Yoga Alliance Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT200) will be further eligible for the specialty designation as a RCYT upon the completion of the course and additional requirements.
If you do wish to attend individual modules only, these hours can still be counted as Continuing Education Training (CET) Hours for Yoga Alliance RYT with your ‘certificate of completion’.
Students will also receive reading assignments prior to and during the training in order to fulfil the non-contact hours required.

**45 Contact Hours / 3 Non-Contact Hours via Reading Assignment
Our fabulous pre-teens and teens are a special population that truly benefit from yoga and mindfulness. This delicate and tender time is largely influenced by the huge changes taking place both internally and externally.
Gain a solid foundation of practical knowledge and relevant skills with age-appropriate yogic and mindfulness tools to engage and support this diverse age group. The training is facilitated through a balance of theory and embodied knowledge in a creative, student-centred and interactive format.
It is Karen’s to empower tweens and teens to experience yoga and mindfulness as a ‘wellness technology’. By developing confidence in these tools, they can take them ‘off the mat’ and apply them directly to their daily lives. This translates to ‘Yoga in action’, where the impact is visible in supporting youth as they navigate school stress and pressure.
With the dramatic increase in both anxiety and depression among our youth, their ability to self-regulate and manage difficult emotions as they arise is essential. Sustainable coping mechanisms and resilience help promote positive emotional, mental and physical health and well-being. Connecting daily to a place of stillness aids in cultivating greater peace and stability, creating an internal refuge to support ongoing stress management.
Become a much-needed ‘lighthouse’ by showing authenticity, sensitivity, kindness, compassion and humour to gain trust, confidence and respect during this vulnerable time. Being light, interested, creative, caring, engaging and fun is essential. Offering them a safe space to unplug, relax, play, connect, and be present in their busy lives is deeply rewarding.

Karen Wightman is the Founder and Senior Trainer of Creative Yogis, a vibrant and dynamic yoga and mindfulness provider in Australia. With over 20 years of experience, she is an international children’s yoga instructor, mentor, teacher trainer, and children’s art teacher.
Karen’s yoga journey began in Thailand in 1995. By 2003, she was assisting in children’s yoga classes at the Iyengar Yoga School in Bangkok and later coordinated a three-year programme at Satit Kaset International Programme.
In 2006, she moved to Australia to deepen her studies with Master Teacher Nicky Knoff, completing her first 200-hour teacher training. She later achieved her 500-hour certification in the Ishta System under well-renowned Rachel Zinman in 2014.
Since 2007, Karen has trained with leading children’s yoga teachers such as Lorainne Rushton of ‘Zenergy Yoga 4 Kids’ and Charlotta Martinus of ‘Teen Yoga Foundation’ to professionally develop and enhance her skills.
She now leads teacher trainings and workshops locally and internationally, including in Australia, Japan, the Philippines, and Europe. She also collaborates with PURE Yoga to teach in Hong Kong, Singapore and Shanghai. Her mission is to empower children and teens with yoga and mindfulness tools for holistic health and well-being.

Lisa is also a writer, coach, workshop facilitator and keynote speaker who is passionate about women’s health — which led her to create the feminine leadership programme, Womankind. She provides the Anatomy and Physiology component in the 95-hr Children’s Yoga Teacher Training, guiding students to be safe and effective yoga teachers for children and teens.
Karen met Chloe when she was 8 and had the privilege of teaching her at various stages of her life for over a decade. They remain very close to this day. Sinead was 13 when she joined a high school yoga programme facilitated by Karen. She studied with her for nearly four years, joined the teen training in 2020, and continues to practise yoga.
Chloe and Sinead met during a photo shoot for the partner yoga sequence and formed a wonderful friendship. They share their powerful insights and inspiration in the Module Two training, highlighting the impact that yoga has had on their lives as teens and now as young adults.
