Earth Yoga Camp

August 16-20: Girls 6-12

Imagine spending a whole week as a child learning the basics of self care and self discovery... from proper hydration to channeling wild energy in creative and artistic ways. Fun activities prepare campers for life through the emphasis on the breath, mindfulness and self expression in community. We will explore many different forms of concentration and meditation practices, including yoga, drawing, painting, dance, creative writing, and sacred performance. We will learn vigorous and challenging yoga practices, beautifully mixed in with deeply restorative yoga practices. We will explore the basics of anatomy and physiology, and the embodiment of what we learn and discover. There will be many opportunities for individual discovery, as well as partner-based activities and whole group activities, with a deep and constant reminder of the vast, beautiful Universe in which we all sing and contribute.

Jaime Danielle Powell, instructor, after 14 years of personal training, yoga teaching and life coaching, now trains yoga teachers and life coaches in the fine art of inspiring and educating children about self love and self care. She struggled for years with her own forms of eating disorder, addiction, "learning disability" and general misery. Because of her journey into those dark places, she has become an amazingly present and rock-steady ally for children, teens and adults as they learn to affirm their inherent goodness and beauty and achieve the physical, mental, and spiritual health of their dreams. She is also a writer, speaker, and singer-songwriter and an enthusiastic puppeteer in the local artist/activist phenomenon known as the Paperhand Puppet Troupe. Her most recent adventure includes hiking 1/3 of the Appalachian Trail with her life partner Brandon Thomas; Brazil is next!
