Hear from our students:
“The Pretzel Kids teacher training was fantastic! It was my catalyst for getting involved with youth fitness.
Since I took the course, I have taught kids yoga classes at the Boys and Girls club, elementary schools, community centers, and centers for kids with special needs. I have also taught classes for Girl Scout troops and private sessions.
The training and manual effectively teaches how to adjust the curriculum to various age groups. Robyn has been an excellent and supportive mentor and is always there to answer a question or give advice.
I have seen kids of all ages and abilities excel and love the classes as Pretzel Kids is so much fun!"
-Becky E. of New York
“As both an educator and yogini, I was amazed by the high quality of the Pretzel Kids approach, which combines the best in age-appropriate pedagogical practice with genuine yoga principles and techniques.
I got all the tools necessary to begin teaching right away and all the kids I have worked with have loved the PK experience!”
– Sarah B. of Israel

Your Instructor
Hey everyone! I'm Robyn Parets, founder and creator of Pretzel Kids®. I'm also a marketing & branding expert, financial writer, and seasoned journalist.
I began leading Pretzel Kids yoga certification courses more than 12 years ago under the umbrella of my former Boston yoga studio, Breathe Joy Yoga. I also formerly ran a 200-hour TT school, so my intention with Pretzel Kids is to give YOU a fast and easy way to teach kids yoga - without spending thousands of dollars on an RYT-200 course (that, by the way, won't prepare you to teach a bunch of 5-year-olds.) Yup, it's true.
I absolutely love helping women earn money doing something they love. For this reason, I'm also a business coach at iFundWomen, and spend my time mentoring licensed Pretzel Kids teachers on launching their own successful businesses.
Pretzel Kids® was founded as a way to offer a structured yoga play environment for children. In fact, our ground-breaking children's yoga curriculum was written by school teachers (also yoga instructors). It is designed to model effective classroom educational programs and make it easy for YOU to begin teaching kids yoga immediately.
When not teaching and coaching, I like to travel, meditate, spend time outdoors, read & write, and hang out with my family and dogs. You can learn more about me on my personal website HERE. Let me know if you have any questions!

I own a yoga studio and would love to offer this course as part of my 200-hour teacher training. How can I do that? We do off volume purchase rates for 5 or 10 instructors. We can also offer you special pricing for more than 10 teachers. Please email us at pretzelkidstraining@gmail.com and we will be happy to discuss this!

Where can I teach kids yoga classes once I take this course? Anywhere kids congregate!

Is this course a Yoga Alliance RYT-C program? If not, can I get continuing ed credits through YA? Our course is not a 95-hour program through Yoga Alliance. We have opted not to run our course in this way as A) This option is only available to RYT 200 teachers and, if you have taken a 200-hour program, you don't then need another 95 hours; B) Our founder used to offer a 200 hour RYT program (for 10 years) and researched the heck out of this. We determined that the most effective way to run our course is to do so independently and offer YOU a high quality course at a low price point. With that said, YES, this course is eligible for continuing ed credits through the Yoga Alliance. To learn more, see our founder's official YACEP profile page here.
Do I need any other yoga or fitness certifications to teach Pretzel Kids classes? Pretzel Kids is a specific type of kids yoga program and certification course. If you join our instructor network and membership community, you will get a license to teach branded Pretzel Kids® classes. With that said, some facilities may also require a 200-hr yoga certification or another type of group exercise certification. So, you may need to check with hiring managers to learn about additional job requirements.
Can I use the words "Pretzel Kids" for my website URL, email account or social media channel names? Pretzel Kids is a registered trademark and as such, you cannot use the name for your own business, email account, website domain name, or social media accounts. However, if you join the Pretzel Kids membership community, you will get licensing rights to use the Pretzel Kids name and logos for your classes and events. And, with your membership, you would be able to use our logos, name and brand on your own website. For further information, please contact us at info@pretzelkids.com
I'm not sure whether I want to become a licensed teacher right now. Can I join the membership program later? Yes! You can join get membership program and become a licensed teacher at any time - so long as you've completed the course. When you become a licensed Pretzel Kids teacher, we will send you a new certificate.
Do I need to be a certified yoga teacher (RYT-200) to take this course? No! Come as you are, prepared to learn, have fun and add a skillset to your wheelhouse where you can actually earn money (and pay back your small course investment in a short amount of time).
"Since becoming a certified yoga teacher last summer I have been looking for a program that would cover the unique needs of pre-teens and teens who wish to learn yoga.
I researched a half a dozen or so programs and decided on Pretzel Kids. I am so glad I did! From the first video I learned so much and have come away from this program with a better understanding of how to teach a yoga class to children from preschool on up to high school.
I especially appreciate the two additional classes focusing on tweens and teens and children with special needs. Robyn is a wonderful teacher and she imparts such knowledge of what works.
I am proud to be part of the Pretzel Kids community and would recommend this class to any yoga instructor who wants to work with children."
- Paula S. of Massachusetts
"I thoroughly enjoyed my Pretzel Kids teacher training. The balance in the course content between skills and practicalities like advertising, lesson planning and rates to charge was appropriate.
I secured teaching hours at my local Y and preschools. I moved home to Ireland a couple of years ago and the concept behind Pretzel Kids is just as relevant here as it was in MA."
-Louise L. of Ireland
