Exploring our inner and outer landscape through yoga, mindfulness and outdoor programs.
Mission
Our mission is to teach children to build an inner toolkit encompassing breath awareness, creative expression and connection with the natural world to enhance their physical, mental, and emotional health.
Vision
We envision an RVA where children reach into their inner toolkit to overcome challenges and live happy, balanced, and joyful lives. We believe sunlight, movement and creativity are key components to this present state of being.
Programs
All of our programs are rooted in the core elements of yoga, mindfulness, creativity and outdoor education. We offer in-school and after school programs, as well as summer camps, designed to help your child discover the activities that light up their joy body!
"When I feel stress, I remember to breathe and I can find my happy place."
—Elijah, L.O.C.A.L. Adventures student
“I learned how to love my body to help build confidence when I need it.”
—Aliyah, L.O.C.A.L. Adventures student
“Be really still. Try and be present with yourself. Focus your breathing. Use your other senses.”
- Daijah, L.O.C.A.L. Adventures student, when asked what tools she has learned to manage stress
When I look in the mirror, I see a pretty, well put together young lady. But when I’m around other people, it’s a different story. I have to often take deep breaths in order for me to get ahold of myself; breathing is a way for me to get myself together emotionally and physically.”
- poem by Cali, L.O.C.A.L. Adventures student
