Experienced Sivananda Yoga Teachers have been leading this camp since the 1980ies every summer for youth age 7 - 14.

Students will get the chance to learn about and practice mediation, the value of Karma Yoga (selfless service) and have their own children's satsang with lots of singing and inspiring stories. There will also be plenty of time for swimming, fun and games, and special activities outside the Yoga Farm.

The camp is an uplifting environment and ideal to create a foundation for a child's peaceful and healthy development.

About Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm In 1971, Swami Vishnudevananda returned to California and founded the third ashram in the young Sivananda International organization: the Sivananda Ashram Yoga Farm on 40 acres of land located in the Gold Country of the beautiful Sierra Nevada Foothills in Northern California.
