Namaste and thank you for your enquiries into the Yogar4kids Teacher Training! I have had so very many enquiries into my childrens yoga teacher trainings for Johannesburg, Pretoria and Cape Town which is truly awesome. As I am wont be running teacher trainings for the first part of this year (I am expecting my first little yogi in March), I need to ask you to please pre-book on a first come first serve basis for the latter half of this year. This will give you time to move into a serious yoga practice and really study up on your postures, breathing and meditations should you not be in a regular practice of yoga or a yoga Teacher.
Please call me to discuss should you have any queries
Please also note that my teacher trainings classes are small and I dont take more than 10 girls per course so could I ask you to book your places for June or July and August trainings 2011 now to secure your place. To do this you need to deposit 50%(R1500.00) regarding the curriculum for Module 1.
Teacher training courses in Cape Town will fall on the following dates:
Deer Park Studio Cape Town 18/19 June 16/17 July 2011
Venue: Vredehoek, Cape Town City Bowl Times: 09h00 16h00 on both Saturday and Sunday

Yoga4kids has proven to be greatly advantageous to the learning readiness of all children and especially those who fall into the special needs children.
I never thought I would be good at teaching yoga to children, but I was very aware of how beneficial it would be for children to start yoga from a young age. My adult yoga students pushed me to teach yoga to their children and the Yoga 4 Kids course was a fantastic, ideal learning experience. I thoroughly enjoyed the course and Suzie put all the scattered bits and pieces that I had read and gathered over the years into a neat, easy to use package. It gave me the tools and confidence I needed to make teaching yoga to children a reality. Her course left me feeling empowered and rearing to go and I am enjoying the many benefits of bringing yoga to young childrenn - Carla De Gouveia 2010
Here is my account of the teaching experience: As an adult yoga teacher, the Yoga4Kids teacher training module 1 was an enlightening experience, fuelling my inner child, releasing my creativity and inspiring me to teach yoga to children. I look forward to providing children with a safe space for self expression. Suzie is an inspiration in herself, her love of her work and her understanding of children is contagious. Cathy Rogers, the Breathing Space Hi Suzie, Once again thanks for an awesome weekend. For the first time in a long time I have unwavering faith for I know with every fiber of my being and that I am on the right path, that I am exactly where I am supposed to be and my soul is singing - Tamar Botha
