Yoga Calm for Teens

Instructors
Lynea Gillen, MS and Jim Gillen, RYT

Navigating the teen years can be especially hard for students who lack self-confidence or battle anxiety. Help your teen develop healthy habits for a lifetime of wellness and happiness.

Open to all teens, ages 13 to 16, this class series provides a practice and routine that integrates physical, mental and emotional development, along with tools and skills for meeting the special challenges of adolescence.

Skills and activities covered include:

• Simple breathing techniques to slow down the nervous system, develop self-control and connect teens with their feelings.
• Yoga poses to release energy, learn compassion and develop strength, concentration and self-confidence.
• Games and processes that develop patience, mindfulness, compassion, leadership and other social/emotional skills.
• Relaxation and imaginative techniques to calm the body and mind, and integrate physical, emotional and cognitive experiences.

Through Yoga Calm practice, your teen will develop more personal awareness and learn specific strategies to maintain focus and manage their emotions and impulses. And practice over time contributes to his or her greater health, self-mastery and well-being.
