“I believe in the power of yoga,” says MPC YOGA FOR ALL founder Michele Priddy. “I have seen lives change, including my own, in deep, transformative and real ways.” Michele, who holds a Master’s degree in Special Education from Middle Tennessee State University and certification as a RYT-500 from Yoga Alliance, has more than two decades of experience helping adults and children of all ages and abilities reach their maximum potential. Her highly-individualized yoga classes, workshops and in-service training programs are more than just opportunities to for her students to move: they are transformational experiences made even richer by Michele’s deep understanding of yoga movement, breath work and philosophy coupled with an encyclopedic knowledge of anatomy and physiology. In addition to teaching yoga at Middle Tennessee’s most respected yoga schools, Michele has led workshops for children with disabilities, teachers, social service workers, parents and others on a variety of topics including Yoga for Children, Yin Yoga, Mindfulness, Adaptive Yoga and Vinyasa Flow.

Join us for some rockin fun and movement through the practice of yoga this summer…

Allow your children to experience the many benefits yoga has to offer through this one week summer camp experience. What makes yoga different from stretching or working out is yoga’s unique ability to connect the body, spirit, and mind inward. Children now more than ever need the grounding offered from a strong yoga practice. Yoga offers a creative outlet to balance children’s overly structured often stressful routines. Yoga evens the playing field for many children. The yoga postures, or asanas, can be practiced by children of all ages regardless of age or physical ability. It doesn’t matter if your child is physically strong or has a physical disability, highly intelligent or struggling academically, able to behave or overly active, of average weight or struggling with obesity, yoga offers something for every child. The YOGA FOR ALL approach meets children where they are and offers something for everyone including children with special needs. Differences are welcome, inclusion is encouraged. Through yoga asanas (the name given to the physical poses of yoga) such as “warrior”, “lizard on a rock,” “cobra”, “shark,” “elephant breath,” and many others children learn valuable lessons of relaxation, support, openness, power, determination, expansion, grounding, and cooperation in a fun, friendly, supportive environment. Daily Camp Schedule:  This Amazing Body (an exploration of the systems of the body: muscular, nervous, skeletal…)  Fueling the Body (nutrition through food preparations, group games…)  Lets Practice (yoga poses, partner poses, games, breathing, singing, quiet time...)
