Barnens Program

På Divinyas Yoga Mela festival välkomnar vi barn i alla åldrar. Barnen har olika möjligheter till lek, utforskning och lärande medan deras föräldrar deltar i deras egna program. Föräldrar till barn som ännu behöver deras sällskap är välkomna att delta tillsammans i alla barnens program.

Programmet erbjuder en stor variation av saker som tilltalar barnens passion. Aktiviteterna inkluderar: lek, naturutflykter, djurskådning, ridning, picknickar, bakning och pizzabakande, yoga, tecknade barnfilmer, rita och måla, utomhuslekar, slöjd, teater, magi och mer..

En av de bästa gåvor vi kan ge våra barn är att introducera dem till det fantastiska utomhuslivet i naturen, där vi lägger grunden till en livslång koppling till moder jord. Vi uppmuntrar barnen att vara uppmärksamma till allt det naturliga, aktiverar deras sinnen och besvara stunderna i livet. Barnen är fria till utforskning och rörelse; och tillåter därigenom alla förtjusande former av självuttryck som ofta begränsas för dem. Att spendera tid i naturen ger dem chansen att springa, hoppa, skippa och rulla.

Ta med dina barn till Divinyas Yoga Mela festival och låt dem upptäcka livet i gemenskap med barn i alla åldrar. Låt dem utforska den naturliga världens under och storslagenhet och berikas i att dela detta med andra.
