A comprehensive training course for yoga teachers, parents and professionals who work with children.

Children are going to be the citizens of tomorrow. If their personality is not completely integrated, the structure of society will also suffer. Whether it is politics or social events the children of today will be directing the future. We have had our turn, now let us help the children understand the secrets of themselves and the mysteries of life. The parents are the factories and the children are the finished products. Let us create products of the finest quality by teaching our children yoga.

Everyone should invest in yoga, young and old. If we hold ourselves responsible for the future, our own and our children’s, then we will ensure that the evolution of man is along positive lines.

—Swami Satyananda Saraswati

“Yoga represents an amazing opportunity for children to learn about and understand their bodies, emotions, and minds.
I love transmitting Yoga in a fun and stimulating way, keeping the discipline true to its origins, yet adapting it to modern needs.
My main goal is to inspire other teachers, so they may bring yoga to children all over the world!”
