Kids (2nd - 5th graders) are invited to join a week of yoga and mindfulness camp at The Yoga Loft. Kids will learn the physical practice of yoga (asana) and be introduced to meditation and mindfulness through fun and creative activities.
Participants should bring a yoga mat, water bottle, snack and wear comfortable clothes.
Rachel Perrella and Laura Gunn are both Yoga Loft instructors and teach kids yoga at the studio and local schools.
About Laura:
Laura Gunn has always found peace in movement and was pulled toward yoga in 2009. In 2017, she took The Yoga Loft 200-hour Teacher Training Program under Larisa Forman and Vito Politano and graduated in 2018. Laura has a passion for teaching yoga, especially teaching to children. Being a mother of three young children she understands the need for children to channel their energy, and Laura has found ways to guide them in doing so on the mat. When she is not teaching or practicing yoga, she is enjoying time with her family, or you can catch her running the streets of Swampscott and Marblehead and biking the Neck.
About Rachel:
Rachel’s yoga journey began several years ago with classes at The Yoga Loft. She was inspired by the physical, meditative and spiritual nature of the practice, and discovered that yoga added a new dimension to her life. Rachel is a second grade teacher at Tower School in Marblehead, and is also the Mindfulness Coordinator for the school. She regularly practices mindfulness and yoga with her students and the faculty. Yoga has allowed her to deepen her practice and bring it to her students and colleagues.
She has always been active; she played competitive sports in high school and college, studied dance, and has continued to enjoy a variety of activities. Rachel is a recent graduate of the 200 hour teacher training at The Yoga Loft. She also completed a five day workshop with Shiva Rea and Dmitri Velarius at Kripalu.
Yoga has become an integral part of her life and helped her to develop a practice of moving meditation. She believes that a yoga practice should create a feeling for the practitioner through breath and movement. She embraces the physicality of the practice, but she recognizes that the meditative and reflective elements are equally as important.
