Divine Light Yoga welcomes individuals from all corners of the world, with a whole range of backgrounds, experiences, cultures, languages, and professions. They truly believe that everyone has valuable experience to share with children, teens, and families through yoga and mindfulness.
You will respect, honor, and celebrate your differences (just as you do with children) and you find unity through your shared intentions of making great changes in the world through the power of therapeutic, playful, creative children's yoga and mindfulness. You do not need any previous experience or training to attend this children's yoga teacher training.
Gain new skills, knowledge, and confidence to share a creative, therapeutic, playful approach to yoga and mindfulness for children and young people, with a focus on supporting kids' and teens' emotional and mental well-being. During the training, you will have one day free of teaching in which you can enjoy the beach, relax by the pool, explore the beautiful island or nearby islands, go for a relaxing massage, or sleep.
This is an excellent way to get connected to your intentions for the day as well as learn some new yoga, breathing, and meditation techniques (led by the resort yoga teacher - yoga classes are dependent on the resort schedule).
Starting with a creative check-in led by Laura to see what everyone is feeling physically, mentally, and energetically.
Laura demonstrates particular techniques and sequences whilst you take the role of the child or teen. Experiencing the sessions through a child's eyes will help you to gain a greater understanding, compassion, and empathy for their behavior, thought process, and feelings.
Laura will give you a fun, theme-related assignment in which you will either be working creatively and collaboratively in a small group, with your partner, or independently. Laura will give immediate constructive feedback in a mindful manner, emphasizing your strengths and offering creative suggestions for the future.
Usually a little more relaxed as you recognize that connecting to your inner child through high-energy movement all morning can be tiring. Your afternoon workshops usually involve Laura sharing her relevant experiences and more gentle experiential learning.
This is an opportunity for any final questions or reflections from the day.
Delicious breakfast, lunch, and afternoon snacks are each day, as well as a delicious, fresh welcome dinner and unlimited french-press coffee, fresh juices, tea, and water. The open-air, pool-side restaurant has fresh delights to suit vegan and vegetarian dietary requirements. The menu is designed around local produce and ingredients with an emphasis on health and sustainability. In the evenings, you are free to explore the local restaurants with the other students of the course.
Divine Light Yoga will have a group welcome dinner on the first night where you can get to know the other students, as well as a final goodbye dinner to your celebrate new certification on the last night of training. During your daily lunch, whether it is beachside, poolside, or above the rainforest, this is an excellent opportunity to connect on a deeper level with the rest of the community or take time to reflect, nap in a hammock, or dive into the fresh ocean.
