Bring a filled water bottle, healthy snack and a thin towel to camp each day. Yoga for Youngsters is a camp specifically designed for the younger yoga student. Absolutely no prior experience is necessary. This camp will provide students the opportunity to practice fitness, enhance healthy body awareness and increase strength, flexibility and balance in a fun, non-competitive environment.
Each class is comprised of three parts. During the first segment, students will explore different yoga poses through games, interactive stories, themed sequences and creative movements. Students will spend the second part of camp making various craft projects that complement that day’s theme. Each class will end with a short period of quiet and stillness during which students will follow guided relaxation and concentrate on breath work. Each day, camp participants will come home with yoga “homework” which will emphasize the day’s theme. Students are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move freely.
Colette Belden is a 3rd Grade teacher in Chesterfield County and often integrates yoga into her lessons. She enjoys practicing yoga as a hobby to strengthen her own skills of patience, focus and mindfulness.
