Teen Yoga and Mindfulness

This class offers teens an opportunity to practice yoga and mindfulness in a fun, supportive environment where everyone is accepted and welcome. Suitable for ages 13-18.

Students learn:
- Mindfulness practices to develop the ability to be in the present moment, to learn how to respond rather than react, and to cultivate a deeper sense of connection to themselves and the world around them.
- Breathing practices to help manage emotions, relieve stress and anxiety, and to strengthen focus.
- Yoga movements and poses to improve physical health, increase confidence and build nervous system resilience.
- Relaxation to manage over stimulation, improve sleep and boost the immune system.

All bodies and fitness levels warmly welcomed.

Please bring a drink bottle and wear comfy clothes you can move and sit comfortably in. Yoga mats available.
