What a wonderful day at our Juneteenth Kids Yoga Camp! ☀️🐸💨
Today, we explored the power of our breath and how it can help us focus, regulate our emotions, and find calm when we need it most. Through two inspiring read-alouds, yoga practice, and a creative craft, we discovered that something as simple as breathing can be a powerful tool.

Our favorite project of the day? Making adorable frogs with party blower “sticky tongues” to catch bugs and flowers—a playful way to bring breathwork to life! 🐸🌼

We also practiced partner and group yoga poses, building teamwork, communication, and cooperation while having lots of fun together.

If your child missed today’s camp, there’s still plenty of summer fun ahead! Join us for our July Summer Yoga Camps, where we’ll enjoy yoga, crafts, read-alouds, outdoor water play, nature exploration, games, and more.

🌞 Summer Yoga Camp Session 1: July 20–24
🌞 Summer Yoga Camp Session 2: July 27–31
(This one takes place at Elevate & Play Yoga private property in Red Hook and is a mostly outdoor camp.)

Looking ahead to August, we’re excited to offer:
✨ Kids Aerial Yoga Camp — August 7, 19, 26 & 28 from 12–3 PM, where kids will build confidence, strength, and creativity while soaring through the air.

📚 Kindergarten Readiness Camp — August 10–14 from 12–3 PM, blending yoga, mindfulness, movement, and school-readiness skills to help incoming kindergarteners feel confident and prepared for their big transition.

Choose one camp—or join us for all of them! We can’t wait to make this summer full of movement, learning, friendship, and fun. 💜

✨ New This Fall: Kids Creative Movement (Ages 7–8) ✨

Give your child the opportunity to move, create, and shine! Beginning in September, we’re excited to offer a 6-week Kids Creative Movement class designed for ages 7–8.

This engaging program introduces young dancers to the foundations of ballet and modern dance while building coordination, musicality, and movement skills. Through improvisation, choreography, and creative exploration, students will learn to express themselves through movement and create their own original dances in a safe, fun, and supportive environment.

The class is taught by Kati Garcia-Renart, an accomplished dance educator and Associate Professor of Dance at Simon’s Rock at Bard College. Kati previously served as Director of the Kaatsbaan Academy of Dance in Tivoli, NY, was a longtime faculty member of Kaatsbaan’s Extreme Ballet Summer Intensive, and pursued flamenco dance and pedagogy studies in Madrid, Spain. She holds a BA from Bard College and brings a wealth of experience and passion to her teaching.

📅 Begins in September
💰 $120 for the full 6-week session
⚠️ No drop-in classes available
Spaces are limited. Join us for six weeks of movement, creativity, confidence-building, and fun!

Mindful Monday with Michele 💜
Here’s a gentle tip for parents as summer approaches.

The freedom of summer can be wonderful—later mornings, more play, and fewer schedules. But while kids don’t need every minute planned, they do benefit from having a few predictable routines to help them feel grounded and secure.

Keeping simple anchor points like bedtime routines, mealtimes, movement, and family responsibilities can support emotional regulation, reduce stress, and make daily transitions smoother.

At the same time, leave plenty of room for spontaneous adventures, creativity, and fun.

This week’s mindful reminder: Summer doesn’t have to be highly structured, but a few steady rhythms can help children thrive.

Wishing you a summer filled with joyful memories, meaningful connection, and moments of calm. 💜

🎉 Fun Friday Moonwalk Update! 🎉

Progress is happening... slowly, but it’s happening! 😄 Each week I can see little improvements, and it’s a great reminder that growth doesn’t always happen in giant leaps.

Sometimes it’s the small, consistent efforts that add up over time.

One of the reasons I’m sharing this journey is to show my students that I practice what I preach. Whether it’s learning the moonwalk, an aerial skill, or a new yoga pose, progress comes from patience, persistence, and practice.

This week I also made an exciting discovery. I found a pair of my old black loafers! 👞✨ I’m hoping they’ll help me glide a little more smoothly, so I’ll be adding them to my practice for next week’s update.

Until then, I’ll keep taking those small steps forward... literally. 😆
