Description of Course

Light Leaders is a 27 hour Yoga certification for teachers of children ages 3 - 12 years old.
You will learn to teach young people to exercise their bodies, control their breath, and relax.

Join us Friday, Saturday & Sunday March 5 - 7, 2010 9 am - 5 pm

Mission:

We uncover the exciting possibilities of Yoga on fun and educational journeys into our bodies and hearts. Guided by their imaginations, breath, and postures, Yoga students learn new vocabulary, develop motor and movement skills, and understand balance and relaxation through meditation and breathing techniques.

Yoga adventure stories, songs, and Animal postures help us to learn how to build focus, strength, and flexibility while being silly. Partner poses and group meditations are demonstrated to encourage children to practice teamwork and trust with siblings, friends, and classmates. Yoga and meditation are some of the best tools we have available to address confidence-building, concentration, self-discipline and respect.

Today, the doors are opening – from public and private schools to community centers, Children’s Homes, Sunday Schools, to juvenile detention and rehab centers. And now, with concrete evidence that yoga and meditation taught in schools helps improve students’ performance on multi-levels, the need for yoga teachers will only increase. Whether you decide to incorporate a Yoga to warm up into your grade school class, the morning, or help little ones cool down before bed, these techniques can fit in almost anywhere.

It is therefore the role of Light Leaders to observe children in their “natural flow” with awareness of the teachable opportunity therein.

A Call For Teachers:

The Light Leaders Program

The Light Leaders Teachers Training Program offers a rich, comprehensive and fun curriculum in 27 hours and culminates in a Children’s Teacher Certification. In this unique course we cover a wealth of information – from child development and nutrition to handling emotions and stress through specific meditations given by Yogi Bhajan to children. This is all in the spirit of play and fun. You will have direct experience with our ice breaker/brain games, yoga sets, improv exercises, and and yoga sets which especially help kick out any surplus negativity, fear, anxiety, depression and other undeserved pressures which trickle down onto their young minds from society. Our yoga is non-denominational and can be adapted to any venue.
