Bring Yoga to the Next Generation
Our Kids Yoga Teacher Training in Bali is a joyful, 16-day immersive course designed to prepare you to teach yoga to children of all ages. Combining animal asanas, alphabet poses, partner yoga, storytelling, mantra and play-based learning, this TTC gives you the methodology to make yoga fun, age-appropriate and deeply transformative for kids in schools, studios and at home.
Held in the lush, tranquil setting of Samadhi Yoga Ashram Bali, you learn the developmental psychology of children, the yogic system of education, character & object asanas, breathing games, meditation through stories, kids’ nutrition and how to manage classes for pre-schoolers, primary kids and teenagers. By the end, you graduate as a certified Kids Yoga teacher rooted in both classical Hatha tradition and the playful spirit of childhood — on the Island of the Gods.
Advantages of our Kids Yoga Teacher Training
Our Kids Yoga TTC in Bali is structured to give you everything a kids yoga teacher needs — the developmental psychology of children, age-appropriate yogic techniques, animal asanas, alphabet poses, partner yoga, breathing games and how to use storytelling, mantra and music to make every class a joyful adventure. Yoga becomes a tool for focus, confidence, emotional regulation and creativity in children.
You will learn how to teach yoga to pre-schoolers, primary kids and teenagers separately, using methods drawn from the Yogic System of Education and ancient stories from the Puranas and Vedic scriptures. We also cover yoga therapy for emotional disturbances, special needs and the disabled — equipping you with a complete, compassionate teaching toolkit.
“A child who learns yoga learns to listen to their body, befriend their breath and live with attention. We are not just teaching poses — we are shaping the next generation of conscious humans.” — Yogi Vishnu, Founder, Samadhi Yoga Ashram
Enroll in our Kids Yoga TTC in Bali today to become a certified, confident kids yoga teacher — ready to inspire children in schools, studios, retreats and your own community.
Course Hour Breakdown
The Kids curriculum is organised around its essential pillars — playful age-appropriate asana, breath and mindfulness games, child psychology and safety, and the methodology of holding a class for children. Together they form a complete grounding in practising and teaching yoga to kids.
Each element is revisited daily through the immersion in Bali, so games, theory and practice come together every day rather than being studied apart. This repetition — the traditional gurukul method — is what turns a focused training into genuine confidence to teach this lively, specialised style.

We Follow
Samadhi Yoga Ashram follows the teachings of generations of Himalayan masters and saints who lived in the cave hermitages of the Himalayas. The teaching lineage stretches back nearly 5,000 years and includes Adi Shankaracharya, Swami Rama of the Himalayas, and his student Swami Veda Bharati. This tradition was practiced for centuries without a single name — we refer to it simply as the Tradition of the Himalayan Masters.
Yogi Vishnu Panigrahi, the founder of Samadhi Yoga Ashram, is a student of Swami Veda Bharati — who was, in turn, a student of Swami Rama. Through this unbroken teacher-student chain, the practical methods of pranayama, meditation, kriya and yoga philosophy have been transmitted from one generation to the next without being diluted by trend.
Although yoga has roots in Hindu culture, it is not a religion. The Himalayan path is open to anyone — regardless of religion, language or nationality. What it asks of you is sincerity, regularity, and willingness to learn from a teacher. The classical teacher-student relationship is still the foundation of how we work.
The ashram teaches the full eight-limbed path of yoga — including Karma Yoga, Bhakti Yoga, Jnana Yoga, Raja Yoga, Kundalini Yoga and Tantra Yoga. A central instruction of the Himalayan tradition is "to be free of fear, become aware of the reality within." The work is practical, daily, and grounded — not abstract, not religious, not performative.

As an elementary school teacher, this Kids Yoga TTC was a complete game-changer. The animal asanas, alphabet poses and storytelling techniques have transformed my classroom. My students now ask for “yoga time” every day. The teaching methodology was so clear and practical.

I came as an RYT 200 teacher wanting to add kids classes to my offering. The age-appropriate methodology — pre-school, primary, teenage — gave me everything I needed. The partner yoga sequences and meditation games are now staples in my Berlin studio. Highly recommended for any teacher.

As a counsellor working with children with attention difficulties, the special-needs module was invaluable. The Yogic System of Education and stories from the Puranas gave me a beautiful framework that respects every child’s pace. My young students respond to the practice with such joy and focus.

As a parent of two young children, I joined to bring yoga into our daily home life. The course gave me playful tools, simple lesson plans and beautiful stories my kids absolutely love. We do yoga as a family every morning now — my children look forward to it more than screen time!

Beyond the Mat · Explore the Island of the Gods
Step beyond the shala and into Bali's wider landscape — the water temple at Tirta Empul, the Tegallalang rice terraces, sunrise at Campuhan Ridge, and the sacred forest in central Ubud. The excursions below are included in the course schedule and arranged around the shala's rest days.
Step away from the mat and onto the soft sands of Bali’s breathtaking beaches. Whether it’s sunrise meditation by the ocean or a sunset visit to a hidden cove, the rhythm of the waves brings your awareness inward and seals your practice with elemental peace.
A 1,000-year-old Hindu temple famed for its sacred spring water, where Balinese Hindus perform melukat — a traditional purification ritual. Step into the holy pools, receive the cleansing flow over your head, and feel the same devotional energy that Indian temples carry.
Walk through Bali’s emerald rice paddies — the iconic Tegalalang terraces near Ubud cascade down the hillside in graceful curves. Built using the ancient Subak irrigation system (a UNESCO heritage), they offer a meditative immersion in the rhythm of nature, sky and earth.
Wander through ancient temples nestled inside a lush jungle home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques in the heart of Ubud. The sanctuary embodies the Balinese principle of Tri Hita Karana — harmony between humans, nature and the divine.

FAQs - Kids Yoga TTC
This course is designed for yoga teachers, school teachers, parents, therapists and aspiring kids yoga instructors who want to learn how to teach yoga to children safely and joyfully. It is also wonderful for anyone who works with children — counsellors, special-needs educators, after-school program leaders — and wants to bring yoga into their daily work.
No formal yoga background is required. While a regular personal practice or RYT 200 background is helpful, the course is structured so beginners can also learn safely. The focus is on the methodology of teaching kids — you do not need to be an advanced practitioner to graduate as a confident kids yoga teacher.
You will learn age-appropriate yoga methodology for three groups: pre-school children (3–6 years), primary kids (7–14 years) and teenagers. Each age has its own developmental needs — pre-schoolers need short, playful sessions with stories and animals; primary kids enjoy partner yoga, alphabet poses and challenges; teenagers benefit from longer holds, meditation and emotional regulation tools.
You will learn animal asanas, alphabet poses, partner yoga, breathing games, mantra chanting, storytelling from the Puranas and Vedic scriptures, music-based practice, meditation games and how to design lesson plans. We also cover voice tone, class environment, managing group dynamics and engaging children of different temperaments.
Yes — teaching practicum is built into the course. You will design and lead practice classes for your peer group, receive structured feedback from teachers, and refine your sequencing, voice and presence. By the end of the course, you graduate having actually taught several kids-style classes, not just studied them in theory.
Yes — we include modules on yoga for emotional disturbances, attention difficulties and the disabled. The aim is to give you a compassionate teaching toolkit so you can adapt classes for children of all abilities, including those with mild special needs. For severe medical conditions, we always recommend consulting the child’s healthcare team.
