100 Hours Children Yoga Training Retreat in Rishikesh – 10 Days, Sanatana Yog Sandesh

The 100 Hours Children Yoga Training Retreat is a ten-day yoga teacher training in Rishikesh, Uttarakhand, India, held at Sanatana Yog Sandesh. It is meant for people who want to learn how to teach yoga to children and are ready to spend a focused stretch of days studying in the town long known as a centre for yoga in India.

The retreat counts 100 hours of training across ten days. It belongs to a wider programme of onsite courses and retreats at Sanatana Yog Sandesh, which also offers Hatha, Kriya, Kundalini, Raja and Bhakti teacher trainings, along with yoga, meditation, women's yoga and yoga therapy retreats. The children's yoga training is one of the shorter options, suited to anyone who wants a compact, specialised course rather than a month-long certification.

What to Expect

The training runs for ten days, and the 100-hour total gives a sense of the pace: full days of study and practice rather than an occasional workshop. The course is offered as a children's yoga teacher training retreat, so the emphasis is on preparing participants to bring yoga to young students.

Sanatana Yog Sandesh runs this retreat on a repeating schedule, with new ten-day groups starting at the beginning and again in the middle of each month through the year. That makes it possible to fit the training around your own travel plans, whether you are already in India or planning a trip around it.

The Setting

The retreat takes place in Rishikesh, in the state of Uttarakhand. Rishikesh is a well-known destination for yoga study, and Sanatana Yog Sandesh bases its onsite teacher trainings and retreats there. Staying in one place for the full ten days lets you settle into the routine of the course without the distraction of moving between locations.

Before You Go

This is a teacher training, so it suits people who want to teach, whether you are a yoga teacher adding children's classes to your offering, or someone beginning to think about sharing yoga with younger students. Fees are listed in both euros for international participants and Indian rupees for Indian participants, and the registration page shows current availability for each ten-day group. If you are weighing it against the longer Hatha or other 300-hour courses at Sanatana Yog Sandesh, the main difference is scope: this one is brief and focused on a single audience.
