What are the benefits of yoga for tweens and teens?
Yoga classes for tweens and teens are designed to provide a non-competitive environment where students can explore asanas that will help them build strength, stamina, and self-confidence, while having fun.
The practice of mindfulness, the integration of breathing and relaxation techniques, and the restorative asanas followed by short guided meditations accompanied by the soothing and healing sound of singing bowls promote concentration, bring balance to both the developing physical body and mind, help reduce stress, and regulate emotions. Students can incorporate these valuable tools in their everyday life, as they serve as an excellent way to overcome challenging situations.
Yoga is a fun and social way to keep fit, become strong and flexible, and build a positive self image in a calming environment. Together, we will explore the fundamentals of asana for an overall healthy body and we will practice balancing poses to improve the focus, asanas that boost our immune system, more challenging poses such as headstand, handstand, and arm balances, and partner yoga for creative ways to do yoga while promoting social and communication skills, learning how to work and relax together with peers, and understanding what it means to support and be supported.
