Explore Swan Lake, NY

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.

At Yagilu, we provide challenging experiences that require participants to step out of their comfort zone. This can come in the form of a challenging hike, or a group game that encourages collaboration. This is followed by a debriefing session, where we analyze the experience and discuss the successes and failures. By going through these experiences, participants learn to recognize and understand their own strengths and weaknesses, resulting in increased self-awareness. Ultimately, we strive to help people become more content and confident. Through our activities and bonding experiences, we are providing an avenue for everyone to grow into a more self-aware and happier person.
