Drishtis & Donuts: Learn how to focus on the sweet things in life in this “dough”ga class! Drishti means “gaze” or “sight” and it refers to where you focus your gaze. Drishtis help you concentrate, calm your mind, and deepen your awareness. Drishtis are commonly used in yoga, but can also be activated at home and in the classroom to help to increase focus and avoid distractions. For this class, our drishtis will be DONUTS!

Sunflower Salutations: Grow your mind and your body as big and as bold as a sunflower! Sun salutations are a sequence of yoga poses that can have many benefits for children, including building strength, improving balance and coordination, boosting energy, reducing stress and worry, and improving focus and attention. We will use freshly picked sunflowers to use as we learn sun salutations and bring awareness to our breath and connect our mind and body, boosting our mood.

Mudras & Moods: Hands down… mudras are a powerful way to shift your energy & your mood! Mudras are hand gestures that are commonly used in many yoga practices, including breathing techniques, mindfulness activities, meditation, or yoga postures. These special hand and finger gestures are intended to move the flow of energy (prana) in our bodies in a certain way to help us calm the nervous system and focus.

My Body is a Rainbow: Did you know that your body is absolutely amazing? It can do so many things at the same time, explore the world both inside and outside, and help you feel the feelings deep down inside. When you start to feel big feelings, it’s helpful to use colors, words, and breath to explore your body and to make yourself calmer and more at peace!

Stable Space + Mini Minds Fall Break Camp: We are excited to announce a new partnership with Stable Space, a local organization dedicated to bringing experiences with horses to children. We feel passionate about this partnership as we share the same vision for experiential learning opportunities that help children gain confidence, uncover new strengths, and develop stronger connections with their community and the world around them. For this fall break camp, children will have the chance to learn skills such as growth mindset, identifying and coping with emotions, and managing emotions (all in real time!) with the horses. We will utilize the evidence-based Developmental Assets Framework and the CASEL Framework in tandem with the principles of equine-assisted learning to create unique and impactful experiences. The recommended ages for this camp are 8 – 11 years and this camp takes place at Good Venture Farms (2450 US421, Zionsville). Please note, there is also a camp for ages 12-15 years October 9th-11th!
Date: October 16th – 18th from 9am – 12pm
