starlight yoga Summer Camp
With stretching and breath work, mindfulness and intentional movement, our Yoga and Mindfulness Camp will guide kids to loving and valuing themselves so that each person’s beautiful, unique light can shine bright.
Our daily activities are centered around cultivating community, confidence, calm and compassion. We will connect with our bodies through yoga and breathwork and work with partners to create trust and community.
Arts and crafts will give campers the opportunity to confidently express themselves and share their talents. Our nature walks will deepen campers’ appreciation for the natural world. Shared stories will demonstrate how to be compassionate and mindful. Lots of deep breaths, laughs and fun await!

Meet the Camp Leaders
Bruna Genovese
Bruna completed her 200-RYT certification through Blue Heron Wellness in 2014. In her previous life as a middle school Spanish teacher for MCPS, she brought yoga and mindfulness practices into the classroom to help her student work on self-regulation. As her family has grown, her training and practice provide here with peace and a sense oof grounding as she navigates both the stresses and joys of being a parent. She is excited to work with your child this summer.
Yalda Soheil
Yalda completed the Budding Yogis Kids Yoga Certification Course in 2018 and founded Starlight Yoga soon after. Ever since, she’s been teaching yoga classes to families, teen athletes, and children in the area. She is always delighted to see how well kids respond to deep breaths and mindful movement. She strongly believes that laying a foundation of yoga and mindfulness at an early age is imperative for our children’s health and wellness. Yalda looks forward to doing lots of yoga, arts and crafts, and exploring nature with your child at camp this summer.
