Summer Intensive July 19- August 2, 2010

Radiant Child Yoga of Northern VA, and YoKid of Washington DC have collaborated to provide a comprehensive, creative, and enlightened yoga teacher training program centered around children and family yoga.

The way it works is this---Those who are RYT-200 will complete the 95 hour Radiant Child YoKid Teacher Training as given below.

Those who are not yet RYT-200 will fulfill the SAME requirements as the 95 training. Additionally they will continue on with 105 more hours in the form of 4 more sessions. This is the Radiant Child Family Yoga training as given below

Note that the 95 hour training will become active once Yoga Alliance announces the creation of the children’s yoga specialty.

Outside requirements:

It is required that the student complete at least RCYP 1-2 and the first module of YoKid training before attending the Intensive. It is preferable that the student complete ALL of the following requirements before attending the Intensive:
