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.

Kids Yoga
With Kara Rosa
Sunday, 12:30-1:30pm
March 8-29
This series will take kids through a safe and fun progression of asanas (poses) that will inspire them to discover the potential in their own body's ability. Through asana and anatomy we will learn about our bodies and how they move, learn skills for self-regulation and self-confidence, and deepen the relationship we have with ourselves. This month will be a deep dive into inversions! Get ready for when life turns upside down, while gaining the skills to work towards full arm balance, head stand and shoulder stand. We will learn how Inversions support stability and freedom in body and mind, and how yoga can bring us nourishment and ease.
For kids ages 6-12.
Advance registration is required. This class will be hybrid. Those wishing to join online will receive a link upon registration. Students are encouraged to attend the whole series.
Fee: $65/80/85
Scholarship is available (email Rebecca@iycvt.com for more info)
An Elemental Practice
Summer Intensives with Rebecca Weisman
July 20-23 and August 3-6
Looking to deepen your practice? Immerse yourself this summer in asana, pranayama, and yoga philosophy in our 4-day intensives. Yoga, and its sister school Sankhya, offer a rich cosmology of the relationship between our physical experience and the divine realm of consciousness. We will explore the elements (mahabhutas) of earth, water, fire, air, and space and how to experience these elements through our practice, leading to a more refined understanding of the body. Each day will be guided by a different theme, progressively moving us deeper into our sadhana (practice) through an energetic morning asana practice followed by an afternoon practice of restoratives, pranayama, philosophy, and therapeutics. Week 1 (July 20-23) is geared toward beginner and intermediate students, and Week 2 (August 3-6) is geared toward intermediate and advanced students. Sign up for individual days, a full week, or both weeks for the ultimate yoga immersion.
Morning Session: 9am-12pm
Afternoon Session: 2-4pm
This workshop will be taught hybrid (in-person and online). Recordings will be made available. Please bring a copy of the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali.
Fees:
Single day: $115
One Week Intensive: $400
Both Intensives: $775
