Children's Yoga Teacher Training in South Africa

The training is split between theory and practice, with a strong focus on the subconscious mind and how yoga can reprogram it. You'll study the chakras, the koshas, the nadis, and the science of Yoga Nidra. But it's not all heady—you'll do plenty of asana and pranayama, and you'll practice teaching on each other. The course is designed for beginners as well as experienced yogis, so you don't need prior teaching experience to join.

What makes this training stand out is the specific focus on children. Jennifer has developed a method using Yoga Nidra scripts as bedtime stories, and she shares these in the training. You'll learn how to speak to the subconscious mind in a way that helps kids release trauma, build confidence, and improve concentration. The course also covers how to structure children's yoga classes and even how to run retreats for kids.

The location is a big part of the experience. Pathways Country Yoga Retreat is a working farm, surrounded by green hills and serene lakes. The rooms are spacious, with comfy beds, and there's a pool, a yoga shala, and lots of outdoor space. The food is homemade, using fresh local ingredients, and they cater to all diets. You'll feel looked after from the moment you arrive.

Jennifer's teaching style is warm but disciplined. She's been practicing yoga for 27 years, and she's trained teachers for 20. She's also a life coach and a community ambassador for Global Peace, working to bring yoga into schools in underprivileged countries. Her approach is rooted in her own experience of healing from anxiety and depression through yoga, and she's passionate about passing that on.
