Yoga training for children in Geneva
A child inhabits a posture the way one inhabits a moment: they settle into it, sway, then find themselves differently.
This training teaches you to guide that path gently: a practice born for growing bodies and for an attention that blossoms at the rhythm of seven minutes.

Will I receive a certificate at the end of the Children's Yoga training course?
At the end of the course, you will receive a certificate of completion from the Centre for Yoga Training and Research.
Can I enrol in the Children's Yoga training course if I am not a yoga teacher?
Yes, you can register because our training is aimed at professionals in education, health, and parents so that they can use yoga tools to improve their relationship with children/adolescents and promote relationships within the school environment.
Could I then teach yoga classes to children?
Thanks to yoga training for children, you will be able to offer fun workshops by developing spaces for play, conversation and creativity through postures and sensory techniques. You will be able to incorporate other disciplines – music, dance, storytelling and drawing – to enrich your classes.
Can yoga help children with attention problems?
Through motor or sensory techniques that promote calmness, attention is considered a prerequisite for a state of relaxation.
