STRONG, CALM + PLAYFUL
We believe a strong body, calm mind + playful spirit create a peaceful, present + joyous state of being. Through yoga, mindfulness + selected activities, our intention is to guide adults + children alike to connect body, breath, mind + spirit. This ultimately allows students to deeply + meaningfully connect within + with others. Our Family Retreats allow time to explore this goodness while also enjoying meaningful time with those you love. Each family selects their retreat itinerary, plus adults choose how to spend their free time while kids participate in our STRONG, CALM + PLAYFUL classes.
Strong
Practicing strong yoga poses while learning to connect breath with movement allows us to build both external + internal strength. Children + adults are given an opportunity to explore this connection to their physical bodies + minds in a fun + loving environment. This includes flowing from pose to pose, slow + steady holds, playing yoga games or working with partners.
calm
Through focused breathing exercises, intention setting, mantras, gentle conversation + an ultimate final rest or shavasana, students build skills that carry them off the mat + into everyday life. No matter what is happening around us, we can always come back to our calm center within.
silly
In a fun, supportive environment, we guide children to create + collaborate together. Our improvisational games are playful, yet intentional. Our goal is to offer various tools to help children actively listen, explore emotions, connect with their voice + perform within a group. It is also about deepening the child’s confidence in knowing the tools are there to access in daily life. Plus, it’s a fun opportunity to use imagination + humor to react to scenarios in a present + kind way.
playful
Let’s PLAYYYY … shall we? Family games, pool fun, games on the grass + kids’ improvisational games are some of the ways to connect to the inner child in all of us. Together we’ll explore more ways to have fun + create more joy in our lives.
connected
Finding opportunities to connect + reconnect with one’s self, family, friends, community + nature are all part of STRONG, CALM + PLAYFUL Family Retreats. We carve out intentional time for self-care, quality time with those you love + space to connect with nature.
giving
Together, the children explore ways to share STRONG, CALM + PLAYFUL with more families. At the retreat, the children come up with ways to share their discoveries. There will be a follow up community event offered to help raise money toward a local, national or international group supporting children‘s development.
