Join us this summer for the Iyengar Yoga Center’s Yoga Adventure Camp! Choose from four weeks of camp inspired by our love of yoga for kids ages 6-12. Together we will connect with our physical bodies and the land through yoga asana (poses), nature discovery, mindfulness and play. Through connection with our bodies, nature, and community, we support each child's self confidence, emotions, and spirit while allowing space to explore and have fun.
Each week, a special guest teacher will introduce themed activities such as fort-building, pottery, outdoor cooking, music, and theater to help round out our days. Our week ends with an ending celebration and family yoga practice. To expand our play opportunities our camp happens off site on beautiful private land in Richmond, VT with acres of forested trails to explore, and creeks to dip our toes in. We would love for you to be a part of our very special yoga community this summer!

Our summer camp is taught by IYCVT Youth Director, Kara Rosa and CIYT Nina Sklar as well as several visiting guest teachers from the community (tba).
About Kara:
I am Certified Level I Iyengar Yoga Teacher and advocate of holistic health practices. I began my practice of yoga in 2010 while studying social work at the University of Vermont. My approach to teaching meets students where they are at, allowing progression to happen. As a student of social work and Iyengar yoga I believe and work towards making yoga accessible to everyBODY, in sharing yoga as a secular tool in maintaining the body, mind and spirit throughout life. I enjoy sharing the practice of yoga to youth and families and teach both in-school and after school youth programs throughout Vermont. I also love doing yoga outside my beautiful home in Eden, Vermont often accompanied by my two children Lia and Kai.
About Nina:
Nina discovered Iyengar yoga in 2020 and was captivated from the beginning. The positive shifts in her life inspired her to teach and share with others the vast knowledge of the subject. She currently studies with Rebecca Weisman and holds a Level I Certification.

With Nina Sklar

This 4-week series, designed especially for tweens and teens, will introduce yoga in a safe, fun, and explorative way. We will learn how the different asanas (postures) and pranayama (breath work) create stability and quietness, balancing our bodies, minds and emotions. We will gain steadiness through our standing and balance work, quietness from our forward bends and restorative poses, and enjoy the uplifting and stimulating effect of backbends. Nina's teaching style is dynamic and enthusiastic and she is welcoming and encouraging to students of all abilities and experience.

Pelvic Floor and
Postpartum Yoga: Part 1
Tuesday, January 13 - February 3
10AM - 12PM, EST
Join CIYT Rebecca Weisman and MPT Meagen Satinsky for a 2-part course exploring the pelvic floor and gaining awareness, strength, relaxation and healing through the techniques of Iyengar Yoga.
The pelvic floor is an important but not well understood part of our anatomy. Through yoga asana (poses), pranayama (breath work), and sensory anatomical exercises we will dive deep into the anatomy, physiology, and movements of this area that supports the root of our being.
Pelvic floor awareness may help ease:
— Low back pain and core weakness
— Hip and sacroiliac instability and pain
— Difficult or painful urinary and bowel symptoms including incontinence
— Painful menstruation or pain with sexual intercourse
— Postpartum symptoms including organ prolapse, hormonal imbalance, and abdominal diastasis
— Recovery from Cesarean or other pelvic or abdominal surgery
Our course is offered in two parts, and each 4-week series combines a weekly two-hour class (hybrid), experiential anatomy exercises, and additional resources.
You’ll recieve:
— A weekly yoga class with discussion and Q&A
— Access to recordings of the classes
— Anatomy homework with guided experiential tools for self-diagnosis
— Ample time with both instructors to problem-solve individual issues
This course is open to anyone interested in learning about their pelvic floor and is open to all genders. Due to the intimate nature of pelvic floor work, student enrollment is limited. This insures a safe and supportive environment for all!
