Craftsbury Outdoor Center - Sculling & Yoga Camp
Yoga and sculling are natural companions. Both practices are fluid and dynamic, requiring good balance, focus and grace. In addition, the relaxing and stretching benefits of yoga complement the intensity of sculling and the demands it places on muscles and tendons, not to mention the aerobic system. Yoga is restorative, helping the body recover from challenging sculling workouts and preventing overuse injuries. Yoga can also improve key elements of sculling, yielding better posture and flexibility, more compression, and thus, a longer stroke. Most important, the rhythm of breath is the driving force behind yoga, just as it drives the sculler's powerful stroke cycle. Breathwork in yoga class translates into more rhythmic breathing on the water

It is a deer, not an eagle or other mythical creature that sits atop the state seal! In Vermont, deer are found in the mountains, river valleys, agricultural lands, and even in backyard suburbs!
