After watching The Search for Animal Chin (1987) all our campers were eager to make their own video! Take a look here and enjoy!  SKATEYOGI is closed from Sunday, 6/30 - Sunday, 7/7 for the holiday week. Hope you all have a great holiday with your loved ones. See you when we get back on Monday, 7/8!   We just wrapped up a rad week of our second week of summer camp! You can still register for our camp! Come skate with us!!
 You CAN do it!
You ever see a skateboarder cruising down the sidewalk, flowing so smoothly it looks like the board is a part of their body? It looks so easy. But then when you step on a board for the first time it feels so awkward even just keeping your balance. Like many other practices, skateboarding takes a lot of work. Behind the effortless push of an experienced skater is countless hours of hard work and dedication. Landing a trick is the easy part. The process of learning the mechanics and falling over and over again is what really makes us skateboarders. Anytime a student says “I can’t do this,” I ask them to add the word “yet” to the end of the statement. This helps reframe the challenge to help them to reach for the goal. Like my yoga teacher Jyll says, “We have to get uncomfortable to get comfortable.” You can apply this same mindset whether practicing on your board, your yoga mat or anything else your striving to achieve in life. Let’s get it! Namaskate! Kevin Last weekend, we kicked off another round of 6-Week series and in circle time we went around and shared what we like about Spring. Quite a few mentioned that they were looking forward to skating outside in this beautiful weather so we decided to share a few of our beginner-friendly skate spots here in Brooklyn. Please note that for skateparks in general, it is best to skate in the morning hours before it gets crowded.
 As some of you might have heard me talking about, I've recently been decluttering my space using Marie Kondo's KonMari method. You can call it an early spring cleaning. I watched her show on Netflix, read her book and finally I was ready. This might sound a cliché, but like the book title, my experience has been life changing. “... when we really delve into the reasons for why we can’t let something go, there are only two: an attachment to the past or a fear for the future.” Another reminder to be present and thankful for my surroundings!! What sparks joy for you? – Kevin 
Our space was once used as a stage for Kyle Matthew Hamilton's play THE RIGHTEOUS. This time, SKATEYOGI somehow made to a short skate film directed by our friend M.Fig (@thefiglah) called {SLING} ! The plot goes like this: New York City skate rats come across a magical slingshot and use it to warp reality. Some of our favorite skate spots are featured too.
Can you spot SKATEYOGI?
Directed by M.Fig (@thefiglah). Starring Yasmeen Wilkerson (@lavendar_locs). Produced by Jessica Lee (@Jessleenyc).
 What a beautiful day it was today! We had a day camp for those who were off from school for Lunar New Year. Since the ground was a bit wet, we went to the nearby basketball court (the ground dries fast!) for an outdoor sesh this afternoon. In 2 weeks, we have day camps for mid-winter recess from 2/18-22. You can just register for 1 day or multiple days. (Getting a 5-day pack is a great idea, if you are planning on doing 5 days of SKATEYOGI camps in 90 days.)
It's the time of the year to start planning for the summer again! We are excited to announce that we have released our summer camp catalog! (Email us if you would like us to send one to you with your name and address!) Our summer camp is a great way for your child to stay active, have lots of fun and make new friends!
What's new this year:
SKATEYOGI will be attending several camp fairs in February. Come see us!
