The 100 hour Children’s Yoga Nidra Teachers Training – The Enlightened Super Souls, is a Curriculum in the Ancient Art Of Yoga, in the language of children it has minimum asana (posture) work. But includes the traditions, psychologies and philosophies of yoga, along with pranayama, 10 children’s songs to create happy thoughts and feelings and the powerful practice of Yoga Nidra, with 20 scripts for children as bedtime stories, that is shared in the training from the Teacher Trainer’s published book, Children’s Yoga Nidra – The Enlightened Super Soul. It has been designed to calm the serious effects of stress, anxiety, depression, panic attacks and fear that have crept into the minds of our children in the modern world. This Teachers Training equips the teacher with scientific techniques for building happy, healthy and creative minds in our little ones, which is the answer to creating a powerful future generation. It also equips the teacher to host children’s yoga retreats. It is non denominational. The training will also prove effective in releasing trauma, developing creativity, strengthening imagination, and boosting concentration and thus let our children live happy and freely as they are created to be.

There are specific techniques, words, expressions and symbolic pictures that create feelings, the language of the subconscious, and if woven in an intricate and distinctive way, can conquer stress. We teach these in the training in the language of youngsters, on how to take care of their thoughts and feelings.

The training also includes accommodation, all meals, daily YTT course and certification, daily yoga classes, course materials (videos of classes, recorded yoga nidra meditation, training manual) and 2 weekend outings.
