The Taruna Poshana Department of the SYDA Foundation oversees Siddha Yoga programmes and activities for children, young people and families around the world. The name of the department means “nurturing the youthful spirit.”
Taruna Poshana is committed to helping children and young people learn about the Siddha Yoga path and develop a personal connection to the grace and wisdom inherent in the Siddha Yoga teachings. To support this, the department recognises the following age categories:
- Yuvas (ages 18 to 24)
- Kishors (ages 13 to 17)
- Kumars (ages 10 to 12)
If you are new to Siddha Yoga, we invite you to visit the Families with Children page of the Siddha Yoga path website. Here you can find many ways to introduce the Siddha Yoga practices to your family as well as stories and other practical resources.
Taruna Poshana in the United Kingdom
Taruna Poshana in the United Kingdom provides a platform for Siddha Yoga families and young people within the UK to connect with each other.
Our current focus is to support, strengthen and encourage Yuvas (ages 18 to 24) in their sadhana and in integrating Siddha Yoga practices into their daily lives. By creating a young people’s network we will be able to to draw on one another’s experience, learning and inspiration, and to have fun together.
Come to Satsang!
People of all ages are welcome to come to satsang. If you’re planning to bring young children with you, please contact the Siddha Yoga Meditation Centre in London or the Chanting & Meditation Group to check that they can be accommodated.
