The following is from Melissa Johnson, owner & director of Yoga Ananda Yoga & Wellness Center in Avondale. I am just the messenger! All replies to this announcement should be directed to: Victoria@YogaAnandaStudio.com.
Dear Yoga Family:
Do you need a light-hearted, fun, spiritual yoga experience? Are you interested in giving the gift of yoga to children? This course is perfect for you! And it is coming to FL!
RADIANT CHILD YOGA PROGRAM LEVELS I (flyer attached) will be held at our center May 23rd – 24th. This certificate training program is for school teachers, parents, therapists, day-care workers, yoga teachers, and others interested in learning to GIVE CHILDREN THE GIFT OF YOGA. This program has counted towards PUBLIC SCHOOL CEU’S and also can be applied to continuing education for the Yoga Alliance.
This program was created by Shakta Kaur Khalsa, famous yoga teacher and author (Fly Like Butterfly), and former Montessori school teacher. She ran a Montessori school in Baltimore, MD, and the program grew out of that school, and now over 3,000 people around the world are trained in the tools and techniques of yoga for children. We have found that yoga helps kids focus, relax, builds confidence, and integrates both hemispheres of the brain. It is the only non-competitive physical activity many children do, and in that context teaches them self-respect, respect for each other, how to think intuitively and how to relax.
The course will include special sections on how to incorporate yoga into the classroom, and how to use yoga to support children with special needs, like DSI. ADD, ADHD, etc. Saturday afternoon includes a Kids Yoga class (flyer attached) for children and their parents from 3PM – 4PM at a special discounted rate of $8/child!
Could you please share this information with your friends, clients, teachers and any parents who may want to attend, or bring their children to class to experience yoga's benefits? We greatly appreciate your support.
Location: Yoga Ananda Studio, 4150 & 4154 Herschel Street, Jacksonville, 32210
Level 1: Fri 5/23 time: 5pm-9pm, Sat 5/24 time: 12pm-6pm.
Facilitator: Cristin Tighe (Simran Kaur) of Spiral Flight Yoga, Washington, DC
Tuition: $200 if enrolled by 5/16 or $225 if enrolled after 5/16
Please feel free to pass along this information to anyone who might find it useful.
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Shakta Kaur Khalsa, creator of the Radiant Child Yoga Program has just informed us that the RCYP program will undergo some major changes in 2008. It will no longer be offered as Level 1 and 2, but rather as a Complete Weekend Course. As a result the course price will increase substantially.
Hence it is a unique opportunity to take advantage of October 2007 Training, as it is one of the last courses being offered this year. The price for RCYP Levels 1 & 2 is usually $475, which significantly lower than other similar Children’s Yoga training courses.

- NAMASTE! I am an alumnus of the Universities of Florida and Denver. I have been practicing yoga almost 9 years now, primarily in power/vinyasa and Ashtanga. I am a graduate of the Yoga Den's 200-hour certification program in Mind-Body and Sun Power styles of yoga. I am the owner of Little Bird Yoga, where I also teach regularly to group classes and private clients, a laboratory manager, and the yoga therapist at a private hospital. I love to cook, especially French and Asian foods. I firmly believe cheese and mayonaisse are among man's greatest inventions, somewhere in the same ballpark as movable type, indoor plumbing, and rock and roll.
