Our 95 Hour Children’s Yoga Teacher Training South Africa is for:
• Educators and school teachers

This is not just learning games and poses.
It is understanding how children develop physically, emotionally, socially, and cognitively, and how yoga supports each stage.

Understanding Growth vs. Development
A foundational exploration of how children change over time, distinguishing physical growth from the deeper, more complex processes of emotional, social, cognitive, and neurological development. This module provides the lens through which all yoga-based support becomes meaningful.
Introduction to Physical Development
An overview of the body’s developmental pathways and how yoga, movement, and sensory experiences support healthy maturation from infancy through adolescence.
The Sense of Touch: Foundations of Safety and Connection
Understanding tactile development as the first sense to form in utero, and how touch influences body awareness, emotional regulation, bonding, and therapeutic grounding in children.
The Inner Senses: Proprioception & Vestibular Awareness
A deep dive into the “hidden” senses that shape balance, coordination, spatial awareness, and behavioural regulation, key elements enhanced through mindful movement and yoga sequences.
Smell and Taste: Sensory Input and Emotional Memory
Exploring how the chemical senses influence mood, safety cues, sensory preferences, and self-regulation, and how yoga-based practices can support children with sensitivities.
The Sense of Hearing: Sound, Rhythm, and Neural Integration
How auditory processing affects learning, focus, communication, and emotional responses, and how sound, mantra, and mindful listening practices can support children’s regulation.
The Sense of Sight: Visual Tracking & Emotional Interpretation
Understanding visual development and its impact on reading, coordination, perception, and emotional understanding. Includes yoga practices that strengthen the visual system and support learning readiness.
Muscular Development and Motor Control
How muscle tone, strength, and coordination develop, and how yoga enhances posture, stability, motor planning, and confidence through structured, integrative movement.
Emotional Development: Building Resilience Through Yoga
A therapeutic exploration of how children experience, process, and express emotions, with yogic tools that nurture emotional literacy, regulation, and resilience.
Social Development: Connection, Co-Regulation, and Cooperation
Understanding the role of social interaction in development and how partner poses, mindful play, and co-regulation practices strengthen empathy, communication, and relational safety.
Cognitive Development: Strengthening the Learning Brain
A neuroscience-informed look at how children develop attention, memory, problem-solving, and executive functioning, and how yoga, breath, and movement support cognitive growth.
- adults who would like to learn how to teach yoga to children and teens
- therapists, educators, and other professionals who want to enhance their skills
- parents and caregivers wishing to develop yoga and mindfulness with their children
- certified yoga teachers wishing to expand their knowledge
Yoga has many benefits, including providing a sense of well-being through connection to one’s body, mind, and emotions. When practised in a nurturing non-competitive environment, students learn to express their true selves and become more in tune with themselves, the people around them, and the Earth.
Yoga benefits all children, but some need that little extra attention. Children who have ADD, ADHD, hypersensitivity, or autism are all helped by regular Yoga practice.
