Flower Yoga teachers are trained and guided in a traditional, humility and service-oriented way. A deep understanding of education pedagogy, child development, movement development and sensory integration practice is at the heart of every lesson created by the teacher. Each lesson is nourished through seasonal awareness, cultural and mythical storytelling and a practical knowledge of yoga philosophy.
"Tara Rachel provides a course that is extremely thorough and offers a fascinating look into a child's physical and mental development. The material is presented in a fun and creative way that invokes all the senses. I found the training to be a life-changing, eye-opening experience. I highly recommend it to anyone who teaches or provides care to children who are looking to introduce yoga into the children's lives."

"The Flower Yoga Children’s Teacher Training Program peeled away the layers of my adult-self. I realized that those layers - the ones where I took myself too seriously and was working so hard to maintain control of the class - were getting in the way of my entering the consciousness of the children I was trying to teach. Witnessing the gentle voice and present mind of Tara Rachel Jones was like being shown a back door to enter a secret garden, where we all played and learned together effortlessly, my class and I. It has changed my teaching forever."

"In 2011, I enrolled in Flower Yoga Children’s Teacher Training after seeing a flyer at my local yoga studio. What attracted me was the synthesis of yoga postures, movement, song and seemingly gentleness of spirit that is so needed in teaching children in today’s world. Her training was truly wonderful! After many years as a music teacher, environmental educator, and playgroup facilitator, Tara’s training was truly life changing and positively affected many areas of my working with young children through yoga and other educational work. Her way of teaching us how to share yoga philosophy and developmental movement through asana is amazing. In addition, her years of experience as a Montessori and Waldorf educator give her participants something so special that is woven through her yoga teachings and training as well. I have also benefitted from her generosity in still being able to ask questions, share lesson plans, and troubleshoot classroom situations, all through using all the limbs of yoga. I would highly recommend Flower Yoga Children’s Teacher Training."
