YKY YOGA CAMPS

2025 Yama Kids Camps
Yama Kids Yoga is a yoga studio dedicated to teaching yoga to kids, located in Elmwood, Berkeley.
At camp, kids will learn yoga poses, meditation, and mindfulness. We’ll do crafts, collaborative art, and a bit of running around. We’ll introduce kids to the real meaning of yoga - to be thoughtful and kind, both to one another and to themselves. Come join us for the special introduction to the real reason everyone loves yoga!
