Taking part in Gurudass's kids yoga course was a unique experience. It was a hands-on course where Gurudass shared countless activities from her experience and treasure chest of ideas. I'm a primary school teacher and could straight away use lots of her games and exercises in my everyday teaching. Just as much, I was inspired to approach my students in a fresh way. I wholeheartedly recommend this course, it was both useful and deeply refreshing ❤️

Child Play with Gurudass was a wonderful course and a real awakening, both for me as a teacher and as a mother, and it reminded me how important it is to play. For me it was also a kind of healing for the child within.

I decided to join the kids yoga course a year ago and I certainly don't regret it. I'm a preschool teacher and yoga teacher and have long wanted to bring the two together, and here I saw the chance. The course gave me knowledge of how to share yoga with children, and it was just as much a meaningful experience for me personally. I felt a kind of freedom from comparison and judgement, felt myself step even further out of my shell and simply enjoyed being me. I came away feeling even better prepared to share this with the children and let them enjoy it! Gurudass fills everyone with her pure joy of life and is a wonderful teacher!

Gurudass Kaur is a true bundle of joy and energy who knows how to get grown-ups playing and forgetting their age for a while. I warmly recommend this course, even if only to rediscover the playful joy of your inner child.
