How did YogaBellies® begin?
Cheryl MacDonald is a Yoga Elder, founder of YogaBellies, author, Dragons’ Den winner and mother of one gorgeous little man. She has been practising yoga for 18 years and has trained extensively in yoga and antenatal education amongst other holistic therapies. Her skills and experience combined with her love of yoga and the belief that everyone can practice yoga, are the essence of YogaBellies®. Such is the popularity now of Cheryl and her YogaBellies style classes, that she recently taught children’s yoga on ITV’s This Morning programme with Holly Willoughby and Philip Schofield, demonstrating pregnancy and children’s yoga. Cheryl has also taught yoga and birth preparation to a number of celebrities including Kimberley Walsh (Girls Aloud) and Fearne Cotton.
Cheryl started YogaBellies® for those women and children who wanted to practice and experience the many benefits of yoga, without it seeming too 'mystical' or unattainable. She
started to teach classes specifically for women, mums and their children, so that they could grow to love yoga, connect with their true selves and to bond with each other. YogaBellies® has grown to include an experienced training faculty of teachers with a wealth of experience, including experienced yoga teachers, doctors, midwives, massage therapists and chiropractors.
Cheryl believes that children can be introduced to yoga from the very beginning, with YogaBellies offering Mum & Baby yoga classes from only six weeks old! YogaBelliesKidz is a fun, exciting and empowering experience for children helping them to develop and grow, physically and mentally. It is her hope that as a Certified YogaBellies® Teacher, you will share our vision of gently guiding children through childhood with our special techniques.

What our teachers think about
teaching YogaBelliesKidz…
I loved the training weekends, especially after getting to know Cheryl and the other teachers. The teaching was thorough, interesting, relevant and enjoyable. Besides the essentials of learning how and what to teach safely and professionally, there is also a strong focus on the spiritual essence of yoga, and I found this beautifully enlightening.
I am currently teaching 4 YogaBelliesKidz classes a week and making a profit of around £120+ which is incredible. It is an amazing class to teach and the kids really do get so much out of it.
I started off by approaching my old primary school and presenting to them what YogaBelliesKidz was all about. I used Cheryl's YogaBelliesKidz class objectives and marketing materials to present, and also read up more of my course notes. My first class was £3 per child for a 45min session and I had 15 kids aged from 3-5 years old, chaotic fun for 10 weeks! After this I approached some other schools and so the story goes.... One school pays me £30 per hour and I have 2 weekly sessions here, whereas the others are all per head payable upfront in advance.

I definitely think that YogaBellies is great value for money...Everything about YogaBellies is unique... From the lovely founder Cheryl (beautiful, honest & extremely down to earth).. The brand, the support given & the amazing level of care to all teachers (& our mummies, babies & kidz) upon joining YogaBellies, you will never look back.... Built on good values... You are taken on a journey of self-discovery.... As well as being part of a wonderful family of amazingly strong & supportive woman!
My yoga journey has taken me on many paths... Having had 7pregnancies in the last 10 years (I have 6 little folk) ... It felt natural to me to gain a qualification to teach ladies at this precious time in their lives.... & along came YogaBellies....:-) I had no idea just how much I would get out of it.... Every day I am learning & teaching, learning & teaching! (YogaBellies is truly awesome!) x
I currently teach 2 hours per week in a private nursery and a pre-prep school and make £280 profit per month (assuming I've taught the 2 per week). The private nursery consists of 2 groups of anywhere between 10 and 15 children and the pre-prep school is one class of 6-10 children. I find it a great way to top up my income and have a regular income, whereas the private classes can be variable depending upon numbers. And the best bit about it... it doesn't feel like work at all!

Let’s be super clear though
YogaBelliesKidz teachers need to be business minded, motivated and well organised.
As Principal of the school your role will be to manage and facilitate classes for children. There will be opportunities for you to teach classes if you wish (you will undertake the training as part of your package) but you can also train teachers to work for you at an additional cost and get really involved in the exciting curriculum, but the main focus is growing your Kidz business and spreading the word about YogaBelliesKidz in your area.
You must be keen to work on growing your YogaBelliesKidz classes and must understand that this is not just a yoga teacher training course. We are looking for people who want YogaBellies to be their career and their life. You must understand that to begin with you will work 20-30 hours per week building up your business – which can reduce as you are established – but building a business is a full time commitment. The good news is that this time can be whenever it suits you and your family, not in a 9-5 working environment.
We expect our teachers to be fully committed to the promotion and growth of YogaBellies, by the way they treat their own YogaBellies business, live their life and interact with clients and the rest of the world. Our teachers are our world-wide ambassadors and so you must share our values and our vision of helping children.
YogaBelliesKidz teachers are:
- Sociable: Our teachers are open, friendly, outgoing and ethical.
- Committed: Our teachers understand that they must work hard and be committed to growing their YogaBellies business within their area.
- Passionate: Our teachers are genuinely passionate about what they do and want to make a difference to the lives of children though YogaBelliesKidz. You must have strong business development and account management skills as this will be an integral part of your role as a teacher.
- Willing to learn: Depending on your current knowledge and experience, you may have a lot to learn. Our teachers understand this will take dedication and patience.
- Supportive: Our teachers are part of a greater community across the world. We actively support each other in any way we can.
- Organized: You must be able to juggle your work life balance (with our guidance) and be willing to learn how to run your own business. This involves superb organizational and motivational skills and attention to detail. You must have basic IT skills and be able to use Microsoft windows.
