What This Camp Is About

A small, intentional gathering where children learn to move their bodies, calm their minds, and feel at home in themselves.

Grounded Movement

Age-appropriate yoga flows, breathing exercises, and mindful movement taught in a warm, non-competitive environment.

Community-Rooted

Small group intentionally. Every child is seen, celebrated, and supported. Parents are part of the community too.

Creative Play

Movement through storytelling, partner poses, games, and creative expression — because kids learn when they're having fun.

What Camp Instructors Say

Trusted by fellow yoga educators in the children's yoga community.

Teaching kids yoga is pure magic — one moment they're giggling and wiggling, the next they're grounded, breathing deeply, and connecting with themselves in beautiful ways. Kidding Around Yoga camp gives children the freedom to shine.
