Sacred Parenting (Advanced Course)
The Yoga, Art and Science of Parenting (Advanced Course)
Duration: 6 month program
“Yoga”: A way to unite with the divine. Mastery of the self through practice and meditation with a high level of commitment.
Parenting is “yoga”…..a journey of conscious engagement followed by surrender to the divine. It is a spiritual path that calls for rigorous learning and practice leading to your own evolution and refinement while being there fully for your child, through the different stages of life. The fruits of this can be sweet and fulfilling for the whole family!
The Sacred Parenting course is inspired by the teachings of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. It combines both spiritual wisdom and practice as well as findings from modern psychology. It is a transformational journey integrating powerful concepts from age-old wisdom that are applicable in this new age with scientific tools and techniques, aimed to help parents work on themselves, gain practical skills to give the right support to their children and thereby experience a better parent-child relationship.
The course has been developed and designed from over 20 years of study and work that our founders Jayashree and Ashok have put in. The philosophy and practices have been applied with success at Creative School and have been refined and enriched by the experiences of many teachers over the years.
Through the program we learn how to deeply honour our role as a parent and gently cultivate both love and compassion for ourselves and our children. It is a journey of awareness, subtle navigation, recognizing and dissolving of our ego and awakening of inner wisdom.

For Jayashree and Ashok, the journey of parenting has come a full circle – having experienced the growth of their children and now seeing them make wholesome choices for themselves has shown the full and intense yoga of parenting.
