Yoga for Teens
There has always been a need for community, but it seems increasingly important to create and participate in spaces that connect with those in similar stages of life. Sifting through pressures of daily life as a teen and navigating emotions such as anxiety can be difficult, without a good set of tools. The practice of yoga and mindfulness – especially introduced at an early age – can provide a foundation that can last a lifetime. There will be time for movement, sharing, breathing exercises, relaxation, mindfulness practices, and meditation. Information for what we cover in class will be provided to parents to help integrate at home. (Ages 13-16)
YOGA FOR TEENS MONTHLY SERIES
These classes will be presented as monthly themes, first setting the foundation, then exploring deeper topics including yoga philosophy, mindfulness practices, breathing exercises, and ways to find rest & relaxation. We have time for discussion, sharing, and listening. Occasionally we will have opportunities for journaling, art, and guided meditations. More than anything, building community where each student gets to know their mind, body, and spirit. We work to feel strong in our bodies and resilient in our spirits.
Our focus for each month includes Foundations of Yoga in September, Philosophy of Yoga in October, Positive Mindset & Gratitude in November, and Inward Reflection in December. Details and links to register are below
$40/series. Prior yoga knowledge or participation in each series is not required. Drop-ins are also welcome, as it fits in your schedule.
