Shanti Yoga Girl’s Education Program

Shanti Yoga Ashram offers a comprehensive, 12 level Yoga for Girls Education Program, for ages 5-12. This age range is fluid depending on age of enrollment, rate of a group’s progress, etc. Two sessions are generally given per year: Fall (Sept-Dec) and Spring (Feb-June), with summer classes available upon request. Course length varies from 9-12 weeks.

All classes include asanas (yoga postures), pranayam (energy- breathing exercises), guided visualizations to promote concentration and relaxation, and cooperative games. While an atmosphere of respect for the yoga teachings and one another is developed, the tone is kept playful and fun. Non-denominational prayers develop and nurture the qualities of love and gratitude which are core elements in all the children’s classes.

Please inquire for new classes.

"This class is a phenomenal opportunity for young girls to learn yoga in a very simple nurturing way. In fact, my daughter always resists leaving at the end of her class even though she is often times socially reserved.  She loves the other girls and she adores her teacher."
