Here's a summer activity both you and your kids can get excited about, with a special bonus: it doesn’t involve a screen.

Power Moves Yoga has been running its Kids Summer Yoga Camp for five summers now, and it keeps coming back because parents keep asking for it. This year's program starts June 4 and runs Thursdays for four weeks from 1:30PM to 4:00PM.

Designed for kids ages 5 to 9 who have energy to burn, each of the four weeks is themed around an element of nature. Not only will they move, make things, and listen to music, but they’ll learn kid-friendly tools for recognizing emotions and managing stress.

The camp is led by Shelby, a kids yoga instructor at Power Moves who also runs the studio's yoga enrichment programs for local preschools. Her co-leader is her 8-year-old daughter Harlow, who has grown up at the studio and now helps lead the classes alongside her mom.

Together they run a program designed to get the wiggles and giggles out first, then help kids find some stillness.

Shelby teaches techniques for that help kids understand their feelings and express themselves, which research suggests they genuinely benefit from. A Harvard Health report on yoga and school-age children found it can improve focus, memory, and self-esteem — and may also help reduce anxiety.

The camp is capped at 12 kids, so it stays small and personal. Power Moves recommends the full four-week program, but drop-ins are available if summer scheduling gets tricky.
