OM Schooled provides educational resources through books and articles.
OM Schooled the book. Part memoir, part instruction manual.
“OM Schooled is the perfect manual for anyone who wants to start teaching yoga to kids. This is not just a theoretical book—it is a step-by-step manual. Sarah Herrington shares the wisdom she has gained from her day-to-day experiences, for many years, teaching all ages of children yoga in the New York School system.”
–Sharon Gannon, co-creator of the Jivamukti Yoga method
“OM Schooled is a treasure-trove of information for school-based professionals and yoga teachers, across the board. I love Sarah’s eloquent expression of her own personal journey to finding her yoga mat to her unique experience teaching full-time school yoga. The engaging voice of the author, photos of kids and quotes by children fill the book with love and inspiration ~ truly, not to be missed.”
-Jodi Komitor, Founder, Next Generation Yoga

A Guide to Breath + Movement.
Perfect for the new yogi or those who want to get back to basics (stay in touch with your beginner's mind!) this book outlines asana, breath-work, and sequences in bite-size chunks. This book can be helpful for the kids or teen yoga teacher who is looking to build their own practice.
*Not for Idiots
A guide to yoga, from the basics of history + philosophy, breath-work + meditation, asana + sequences. This book can be helpful to the kids yoga teacher in two ways:
1) deepen your own personal practice and relationship to yoga
2) the language used for entering, being in, and exiting poses and other practices in this book can be very helpful in teaching kids yoga. The sequences at the back of the book can be utilized for 'Learn and Try' parts of OM Schooled kids yoga classes (with some little tweaks!)
