Radiant Child Family Yoga (RCFY) 200-Hour Teacher Training Program
RCFY Qualifications
The 200-hour RCFY teacher training is designed for those who are not yet Registered Yoga Teachers (RYT), and who want to become a Yoga Alliance certified RYT with a specialty in Children’s Yoga.
While previous experience with yoga is helpful, it is not absolutely required. After submitting your application along with the $25 non-refundable fee, a personal interview with Shakta will be scheduled.
Those who complete this program will be RYT-C 200 (Registered Yoga Teacher at the 200 hour level, with a specialty in children’s yoga).
If you are already an RYT and would like to specialize in Children’s Yoga, please see the document titled 95-Hour Radiant Child YoKid Teacher Training.
RCFY Content
The training endeavors to bring forward each person’s unique potential. Confidence in one’s ability to be a centered, calm, loving and playful leader of yoga with children and families will be explored indepth. There will be a strong focus on self-practice, self-experience, spirited discussion, and sharing of ideas. A partial list of topics covered are:
- Practical ideas for bringing yoga into families’ lives
- organizing your yoga business
- leadership training, clear communication skills
- working with parents and administrators
- expanding yoga into schools
- using the gifts of each childhood phase to enhance yoga
- focus on reaching children with sensory integration challenges
- establishing your personal yoga and meditation practice
- applying the Yoga Sutras in everyday life
- application of Kundalini, Ashtanga and general Hatha for children
and much more
While Yoga Alliance sets the parameters as to the categories of study, there is a lot of flexibility in the content. We are soliciting feedback from you--the students--about what you feel it is important to include in the training. For this reason, there is space for additional topic suggestions in the 200 level application.
It is good to note that the 95 and 200-hour trainings include a mentoring/hands on component that is more than double the amount of hours required for a 200-hour training program.
Important: The first part of the 200-hour training is the same as the 95 hour training program. Please see document titled 95-Hour Radiant Child YoKid Teacher Training for courses and schedule.
After taking the 95-hour training, 200-hour students will fulfill the remaining 105 hours through four monthly trainings that are 26 class hours in length, for a total of 104 hours. The remaining class hour needed to complete the 105 hours will be in the form of a mentoring conference call.
Students are encouraged to make it a priority to attend all course sessions in the order that they are presented. However, if a student has to miss a session due to unavoidable circumstances, he or she may make up that session the next time it is offered (average time: every 4-5 months). The certification will be complete when all 200 hours have been finished.
