Camp’s a place of excitement and fun, but you can still find your zen with yoga at Summer Camp.
In today’s Guest Blog post, Bella talks us through her experience teaching yoga in America.
Her Summer Camp job helped inspire her to set up a yoga business when she came home to the UK!
When I was offered a job as a Yoga Instructor, I was really excited to bring fun to yoga classes.
Before applying for camp, I was already working in a yoga studio in London and so had some experience.
I achieved my Kids+Teen+Family Yoga Qualification before going to camp so that I would feel confident running classes.
I was nervous about going to camp, but as soon as I got there, I knew I was in the right place.
I taught back to back lessons throughout the day and each one had a different theme.
Every class was different because I had different age groups, but the campers really committed to the session and that helped.
In my classes, I would incorporate guided meditation, salutations, vinyasa, acro yoga, restorative yoga, and lots of games.
I love yoga. It’s helped bring me out of my shell and I wanted to share that with the campers.
Yoga was one of the classes that were really popular. I had new campers and counselors joining every day!
When we were stargazing at night on our time off, people would ask me if I could lead them in a meditation session.
Yoga classes on rocks by the lake and surrounded by a beautiful forest… it was so magical!
Outside of doing yoga, I would be with my campers joining in all the fun activities camp had to offer.
I really enjoyed playing tennis and doing water sports in the lake and pool.
The weather was so beautiful this summer, so I took advantage. I took lots of walks in nature berry picking!
