Radiant Child^®  Yoga Program  (RCYP) is a comprehensive training program designed for anyone who is interested in teaching children yoga.  The vision of RCYP is to create a world of peace through the union of yoga and children.  RCYP participants include yoga teachers of all traditions, schoolteachers, therapists, parents and grandparents. Previous yoga experience is helpful although not required. Participants gain a wide variety of practical yoga tools and tips, and have fun playing at being a child again.

RCYP was founded by Shakta Kaur Khalsa, who recognised the need for children to be given the opportunity to thrive and blossom through the gift of yoga.  Radiant Child Yoga began in 1999, and is one of the very first training programs for teaching children yoga ever offered anywhere in the world.  It has grown as yoga for children has become more widely known for its beneficial effect on children’s health and happiness.  

Amanda trained directly with Shakta to deliver the program and facilitates workshops in New Zealand, Asia, UK and Ireland.
