Children are naturally radiant, aware, and full of innocent wisdom. Yoga helps them maintain their natural radiance, or if their light has been dulled by events in their lives, it helps them regain their inherent state of being.

Greetings, and welcome to childrensyoga.com!
I know that you care deeply about the quality of life for your children or you wouldn't be here at our website.

I am Shakta Kaur Khalsa, creator of childrensyoga.com, and author of Fly Like A Butterfly: Yoga For Children. As a long-time Kundalini Yoga teacher and Montessori educator, I realized that children could effortlessly reap the benefits of yoga, as long as it could speak to them. So back in 1981, my little classroom came alive with children hopping around the room as "ribbiting" frogs, hissing as cobra snakes, and balancing on one leg as tall trees.

The class would then culminate in a dramatic change of energy. These children who had just been robustly exercising would lie down on the floor totally still, eyes closed. I would then give them the tools to paint peaceful, relaxing pictures in their minds and hearts. Their breath became the ocean - inhaling waves upon the shore, exhaling and the waves returned to the sea. As they gently brought themselves back to the classroom, they had touched that still, calm center. My assistant, seeing the transformation, begged me to do it with them every day. And that's how it all started!

As one thing always seems to lead to another, teaching children's yoga led to writing Fly Like A Butterfly which then led to training teachers and the formation of The Radiant Child Yoga Program.

Feel free to look around our site, where you can try some children's yoga, find out more about what we have to offer, look for a children's yoga teacher in your area, and get some inspiration about raising happy, healthy, spiritual children.

Enjoy with my best regards!
