Yoga Camp things.

Kids Yoga at Anaconda Yoga is a beautiful and sometimes chaotic thing. Little bodies with big personalities explore the world of yoga through breathwork, meditation, yoga poses, art, games, and sound.

And to be honest, sometimes it’s really hard.

The entire point of offering Kids Yoga to this community is to provide a space where kids can feel seen, heard, and safe. Safe to have an emotional experience, safe to be themselves without the pressure to perform.

So when emotional experiences bubble up during Yoga Camp or any other Kids Yoga class, we are allllllll tested on the tools of yoga.

The kids have the opportunity to practice what we’ve learned. I have the opportunity to demonstrate the tools within myself as I work to regulate the group. We have the opportunity to have honest conversations together afterward as we debrief *what happened*.

I’m not a professional therapist, but sometimes this sure does feel like group therapy. (Maybe my student loan debt from grad school in Marriage and Family Therapy is finally amounting to something.)

We are all emotional beings and that is a part of life. Some of us are better equipped to move through emotions than others, and some of us cling onto yogic principles in hopes of finding our way through them.

One thing I can say for sure is: some of y’all are raising damn good kids. Really emotionally intelligent children who know how to communicate their feelings, when to take breaks, and how to support others.

I’m here to offer the tools of yoga to children and these kids are handing me their sweet little hearts. I’d say we both benefit from this experience.

Thank you, Anaconda, for trusting me with your children. As always, it is an absolute honor.

Much love,

Marquis
