This camp is a 4 day journey guiding your tween into the world of yoga. Your child will be taught yoga postures, participate in mindfulness activities, learn how to meditate and begin to understand how the breath can help decrease fear and increase focus. This course is built to promote stress relief, improve flexibility and increase strength, while increasing self-confidence and body awareness. Day 1: We will cover the meaning of yoga, meditation and pranayama (breath techniques). Your tween will learn how and why we meditate, why breath is essential, and be introduced to sun salutations (a specific set of yoga postures that flow from one to the next). They will explore at least one balance pose and participate in a mindfulness activity. Each class will begin slow, increase in momentum and then slow back down to allow for a period of deep relaxation (savasana). Afterward, we will have more discussions about yoga and what it incorporates. Your child will be given the opportunity to share and discuss with their classmates and then the class will be dismissed. Day 2: We will continue to explore what yoga means. Your tween will begin to learn new poses beyond the sun salutation, be introduced to other breathing techniques, and participate in a yoga activity to promote self-confidence and mindfulness. We will continue the discussion on meditation and learn other ways to meditate. They will participate in a (short) savasana and before closing the class they will be given the opportunity to share any thoughts, feelings, and questions with their classmates. Day 3: We will build upon Days 1 & 2. Your tween will learn about keeping a journal and why it can be helpful. They will then participate in writing a journal entry in their own journal or on a piece of paper. They will be taught additional poses, including Sun Salutation B. They will be asked to create a 3-4 pose long yoga flow of their own to demonstrate during the last class. They will continue to practice meditation and participate in mindful activities. Finally, your tween will be guided into a (short) savasana and before closing the class they will be asked if they would like to share anything with their classmates. Day 4: On this final day, we will do a short review of the previous days (we may play Kahoots). Your tween will participate in balance poses, practice Sun Salutations A & B, and be asked if they would like to share a flow they have created. Then be guided into the last savasana of this series. Before closing the class, they will have the opportunity to share their thoughts about anything learned during camp and any questions they have will be answered.
Learning Goals
Student's should finish this 4 day camp with a better understanding of the true meaning of yoga. They will have been taught strategies to use when feeling anxious, overly excited or upset. If your child spends time outside of class practicing yoga postures (poses), by the end of this course they should also have improved flexibility and increased their strength. My hope is your child enjoys the camp and uses what they have learned to better their life.
Other Details
Parental Guidance
You understand that yoga includes physical movement and, as is the case with any physical activity, the risk of injury, even serious or disabling, is always present and cannot be entirely eliminated. By participating, you acknowledge that your child is fit to do so. If they experience any pain or discomfort, they agree to listen to their body, and discontinue the activity. You assume full responsibility for any and all damages, which may occur through participation. Yoga is not a substitute for medical attention, examination, diagnosis or treatment.
