Yoga for Physical Education Teachers Training
Self-Paced Learning with Live Support
We all know that yoga has many benefits. Because it is a lifetime physical activity, it should be a component of the Physical Education Curriculum. It is something that all students can do, and it is something that all students need.
Learn how to implement yoga into your Physical Education Curriculum by participating in Yoga for Physical Education Teachers. Created by an RYT200 veteran Physical Education Teacher, this one-day training includes breath work, poses, sample yoga games, and activities. Upon completion, you will have the tools, skills, and knowledge to teach your students the basics of yoga. Not only will you learn how to make yoga fun and adaptable for all, but you will be able to create your own yoga lesson plans to fit the needs of your students.

Your Instructor
Kristen Santos, BS, M. Ed, RYT 200, RCYT, YACEP, started to practice yoga as a way of healing from breast cancer. Because she found Yoga so beneficial, she wanted to bring the practice to her students. Kristen has been teaching Physical Education in Massachusetts Public Schools since 1998. She took her first ChildLight children’s training in 2017. During the summer of 2020, Kristen completed the first live online 200 Hour (RYT) training that Childlight offered. Returning to school in September of 2020 made her even more passionate about bringing Yoga into the PE Curriculum. She is now a published author of The Yoga Curriculum for Physical Education K-5 and The Yoga Curriculum for Physical Education 6-8. Kristen travels the country presenting “How to Implement Yoga into the Physical Education Curriculum” at SHAPE and AHPERD Conferences.
