Radiant Child® Yoga (RCY) is a comprehensive 30 hour training program designed for anyone who is interested in teaching children yoga. Developed in 1998 by founder, Shakta Khalsa, Radiant Child Yoga was one of the first children's yoga trainings available in the world. Radiant Child Yoga holds the vision of creating a world of peace through the union of yoga and children.

RCY participants include yoga teachers of all traditions, schoolteachers, pediatric therapists, parents and grandparents. Previous yoga experience is helpful although not required. Participants gain a wide variety of practical yoga tools and tips, and have fun playing at being a child again.

RCY training levels 1- 3 are generally taught all at one time, and include certificates of course completion and an opportunity to be listed on our Teacher Locator.

RCY has been approved for CEU/PLUs in public schools, as well as Yoga Alliance 500 level accreditation. This course has been presented at Montessori and Head Start conferences, public school districts, and therapy centers for ADHD and Autism worldwide.

Please note that the basic 30 hour course COUNTS AS THE FIRST 30 HOURS OF both of our Certification trainings:

• RCY 95 hour training course for those who are RYT-200.
