Karma Yoga will be introduced to the campers, including chores around the farm, the garden and our farm animals.

Experienced Sivananda yoga teachers lead a Children's Yoga Camp every summer for youth aged 7-14. Children will benefit from daily yoga and breathing exercises combined with meditation practice, learning the value of karma yoga (selfless service), and satsang just for kids followed by singing and inspiring stories. There will also be plenty of time for swimming, fun and games, and special activities outside the Yoga Farm. Help your child's evolution by helping create a solid foundation of peaceful, healthy living for them.
