Kid’s Yoga Program September 21–24, 2017
with Nitya Griffith, E-RYT 200, CRYT
September 21 - 24, 2017
Bring your children with you this weekend!
Satchidananda Ashram-Yogaville is starting a childcare program for guests who come with children ages 5-11!
While you enjoy your program, (Art of Awakening or Kirtan College) you can feel confident that the kids will be well looked after by our experienced staff and entertained through a variety of fun activities. Arts and crafts, music, dance, drama, hiking, and games will keep them busy and laughing throughout the weekend. In addition, they’ll learn about ashram life, Integral Yoga, and Swami Satchidananda.
Kids arriving Friday can join in.
