Yoga Nature Immersion

In this workshop we will explore the farm looking for inspiration from plants, animals and the natural cycles to create our own yoga experience. Aspects of asana & breath work will be introduced in this beautiful outdoor setting. Students will be encouraged to create movement based on what they have observed around them. Kids will take home knowledge in yoga along with nature inspired yoga cards for them to recall the flows created in class.

Kids should wear comfortable clothes and shoes (required) that can get dirty as we explore the farm. Please provide your child with a full water bottle, sun protection & a rain jacket.

Maui Access to Mindful Movement (MAMM) seeks to spread awareness of, and access to, the physical, mental, emotional and social benefits of group practices such as martial arts, yoga, cultural movement, dance, and nature immersion. MAMM’s mission is to show more Maui residents how mindful movement isn't just physical fitness; it's a catalyst for unlocking one’s potential through focus, awareness, and self-regulation. It is an opportunity for social interaction in an environment of discipline, shared principles and common goals. These community activities can be deeply therapeutic. They bring us out of isolation and give us safe space to move together. When we move with intention, breathe in rhythm, and grow together, something more than physical well being happens – fear transforms into courage, isolation into belonging, and trauma into resilience. Blending physical activity with mental presence, helps us calm compulsiveness and mindfully channel our energy; developing healthier social interactions and family dynamics. MAMM seeks to bring mindful movement to more Maui families.
