Spiritual Summer Camp July 31, 2009

This is the desert's first Spiritual Summer Camp for children ages 5 through 10, a place and time in which children can participate and be introduced to Storytelling Yoga, Meditation, Laughter Yoga, Madala Art, Medicine Wheels, Music and lots more!

Storytime yoga brings the 5000 year old practice of traditional yoga to children using the philosophy and knowledge behind the physical practice. The interfaith stories teach children about character, inner self, love, peace, courage and happiness.

We will focus on proper breath, which is pranayama, or life force. We will help center the mind, connect the body and tap into the spirit with meditation and relaxation, which goes beyond yoga and is amazing for school, home and health.

Each story has about 20 poses that help the child understand the focus and intention of the message being given. Some poses will strengthen, inspire, open and enable the message to come forth. We will also sing traditional songs and the children will learn a few sanskrit words and also understand what the chakras are in the body and how they help us to self-heal and to heal others.
