CircusYoga—
The Human Art of Play

Human Art of Play Community Workshop

Ages 7 to 107 welcome! Wanna shake up your own learning and grow new playful connections within your family, school or community? Join co-founders Erin Maile + Kevin O’Keefe who have been leading communities in this unique blend of interactive group games, movement, and play for over 25 years. This practice draws strongly from dance, yoga, and circus arts. Surprise yourself by what you and your family can do. Experience a whole village at play together. Learn games and practices that you can take home immediately and teach others. Most importantly, leave feeling energized and deeply connected to yourself and your loved ones. The Human Art of Play (formerly CircusYoga) has been connecting communities, families and people since 1997.

Join us for a family retreat at Kripalu Center for Yoga & Health in Lenox, MA, every Easter, Thanksgiving, and Fourth of July holidays. Look at our schedule for other dates and venues.
