Divine Light Yoga is excited to partner with the Thai Child Development Foundation for our Children’s Yoga Teacher Training in Thailand. The foundation does wonderful work supporting the healthcare, education and welfare of disadvantaged children in Southern Thailand. 30% of all investments from the Divine Light Yoga Teacher Trainings go directly to the foundation; not only will you be growing and developing your skills and experience of children’s yoga but you will also be actively contributing to the health, education and welfare of underprivileged children within Thailand.

Our Children’s Yoga Teacher Training provides all the tools, techniques and inspiration that teachers will need to develop their own individual, creative lessons to share with children of all ages and abilities. We are focused on providing a holistic environment for children, combining elements of musical mantras, interactive story-telling, art, nature, movement and dance, group discussions and play to explore the principles and practices of yoga and mindfulness.

Our approach incorporates elements of the educational philosophies of Reggio Emilia’s Hundred Languages of Children and Howard Gardener’s Multiple Intelligences because we understand, value and support each child’s individual learning style. Furthermore, our approach regards the environment as a key component of the education process, therefore, we place emphasis on providing a safe, nurturing, holistic environment in which we give children time and space to explore yoga and mindfulness.

Through interactive, experiential activities and practice teaching time, we will explore:

* Techniques and activities to introduce asana, breath-work and meditation to children aged 3-18 years old
* Partner and group yoga fun for all ages
* Combining Educational Philosophy and teaching methodology with Yoga
* Introducing yoga philosophy and practices to children of all ages, including the 4 Paths of Yoga & Patanjali's 8 Limbs of Yoga
* Meditation & Visualisation techniques for each age group
* Creative Mindfulness activities and techniques
* Therapeuitc yoga techniques for children with Special Needs
*Understanding Autism, ADHD, Sensory Disorders, communication difficulties and social-emotional difficulties and how to effectively use yoga for each of these SEN.
