This class is aimed at student's from 11 to 16 years.

 

'This Yoga class is specifically for the needs of Teenagers, teaching them yoga postures, breath awareness and relaxation and meditation exercises. It can be used as part of your Duke of Edinburgh 'Skill' section or as an extracurricular practice after school to wind down after a busy day.

​

New to Secondary School? then these classes might be a lovely way to start your Year 7 journey. Why not ask a new friend from class along?

 

The classes are designed to give young people some time to connect with themselves and give them space to be present and calm and encourage balance in their life.

 

It is so important for young people to look after themselves physically and emotionally and have the tools to do that, giving them increased confidence and independence.

 

I make the classes fun, incorporating games into a class as often teenagers spend a lot of time having to concentrate at school and this gives them an opportunity to be playful and unwind but within a structured and safe setting.

 

My classes are about giving teenagers time to rest their bodies and mind, time to connect with others in a non competitive setting where you can be yourself in a safe and supportive space.

​

With the added pressures of Social Media, these classes are a chance to step away from our technical world and connect back to just being comfortable with yourself away from the distractions of a screen.

​

The teenage brain is developing rapidly, and proven scientific research suggest that Yoga for young people is a really powerful tool in supporting them at this critical time in their lives.
