About Sacred Play For Kids
Sacred Play is a nurturing summer experience at Karma Yoga Center that offers a joyful introduction to mindfulness, movement, and spiritual exploration in a supportive and playful environment.
Children will explore the connection between body, mind, and spirit while building deeper relationships with themselves, their community, and the natural world. Through guided practices, they’ll learn tools for self-awareness, emotional regulation, and presence—skills that support confidence, calm, and inner balance.
This camp encourages children to step away from screens and into the present moment, connecting with themselves and others in meaningful ways. It’s a beautiful opportunity for kids to still their minds, open their hearts, and discover the joy of simply being. As they practice presence, they learn to move through life with greater ease, awareness, and connection.

Lead Teacher
After navigating periods of deep depression, Janelle found that yoga, spirituality, mindfulness, and playful creativity offered her a meaningful way through those darker states. These tools continue to shape her work and her approach to supporting others.
Janelle’s path has also been shaped by years of working with children—as a substitute teacher, a nanny, a birthday event planner, and the creator of the kids’ program at the Omni Interlocken Hotel. Through these roles, she witnessed how naturally children imagine, explore, and interact with the world, and how often adults forget the importance of play. She believes that reconnecting with play is essential for all ages, and she loves helping adults rediscover the child within who still longs to create, explore, and delight in the world.
At the heart of Janelle’s work is a simple truth: at any age, we desire connection—to each other, to nature, and to the ideas waiting to be brought into being.
